Best 25$ a customizer will spend....

Hi All!

Im sure a lot of you have one, and Im also sure there are "better" ways to spend 25$ - haha - But I just picked this up and it has helped with detail painting (eyes!!!!) so much!!! Thought I would pass it along!!

Before I clicked I was hoping for a new prosthetic hand that doesn't shake that comes with a free set of eyes. Pretty close:-)

HA! Funny you say that - I was painting paintmasters for an upcoming BATMAN product for my company, and I drank too much coffee and actually had to stop painting for an hour until the jitters wore off!

Yep,i have a similar one.I dont really use the magnifing lense(yet) but being able to get more light up close on something you are painting really helps.

Same here. I have a folding OttLite, and I love it for the lighting... but I hardly ever use the magnifier. Of course, the design of this one makes the magnifier seem awfully convenient...

Don't need one yet but soon I'm sure.
It's the steady hand I need first as well.
I do them in stages now whites,color then pupils sometimes days between each...lol

I use a lighted magnifying lends and I don't think I could paint heads without it.

I had one of the old design. The one that is articulated and clamps to the edge of a table or desk. Gave it away a couple of years ago, and have regretted it since. Thanks for the heads up Tyler.

I've gotten better at paint job, but not as good as some.
