                        Donegans are the ones I bought, I looked at some cheapos at Harbor Freight, they were plastic and didn't seem like what I wanted.  The Donegans are glass lenses, well made, and I use them for 30+ minutes at a time with no headaches or eyestrain.

                        Guess you guys have helped narrow my search for me ... thanks! Seems if I want to try to even come close to the work of professionals, the opti-visor is the way to go ...

                        We'll have to keep these in mind for x-mas. Until then ... I guess amatuer/ unprofessional work will have to do. Big Smile [:D]

                        Indy, I'm glad you're enjoying Timelines. Some very nice folks there. I've met a few IRL and they are just as personable face to face as they are on-line. There are guys wyho post there and at Planet Figure who do both the scuplting and box art for some of the biggest names in the business.

                        Remember, if the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

                        I guess I can continue to strive for "it", but then again "it" is a gift. Damned since birth I guess .... but, I'm happy w/ my non-"it" builds, but that's no excuse not to try a little harder.

                        Ohhhh ... if only one of "us" had "it", then maybe "we" would understand "them". Big Smile [:D]

                        Danilo Cartacci's book "Painting Miniatures" is an excellent must have for your figure painting library. By far the best to date in my opinion.
