Of course, working with the magnifier light does help tremendously.<br /><br />Table height appears to be a key thing. If you need to raise your work level an inch or two, you could always put a piece of 2 inch pink foam under that, and secure it to the table. Possibly a chair that will raise or lower it's height.<br /><br />That can make a big difference as well.wappellioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545341272914600283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349727365634393854.post-51202851533699269452013-07-10T04:14:59.624-05:002013-07-10T04:14:59.624-05:00Hi James,

I often like to combine them.<br /><br />I use the SW washes on my decorative bases, vehicles, and projects like this guy. I suppose if I had the access to GW products as I used to, I might use them more. Right now, it is much easier for me to get a hold of SW product. <br /><br />As you might have seen in other posts, a few of the SW washes have an opaque property to them, which is very cool for mixing into regular paints, and other washes...wappellioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545341272914600283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349727365634393854.post-90076871902575402722013-07-09T19:49:46.151-05:002013-07-09T19:49:46.151-05:00Many thanks!!Many thanks!!wappellioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545341272914600283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349727365634393854.post-74669518420491246992013-07-09T19:01:00.668-05:002013-07-09T19:01:00.668-05:00The tree creature looks amazing.
