Boy, until this morning, I never realized how lucky I am because at 56, I can still paint beards on my HO scale figures, without glasses or magnifier lamps. Of course, I can't drive without my 3,000 diopter glasses for distance but who cares, model railroading is where I spend the majority of my time.

I got the exact opposite problem. I'm 58 and have great distance vision, but need some pretty powerful glasses to read. OTOH, the lenses in both eyes are artificial since I had cataract surgery 4 years ago.

It's really kind of hard to support your local hobby shop when the nearest hobby shop that's worth the name is a 150 mile roundtrip.

39, but I'm looking good without much hair! [:D]

Aggro, I had you figured for an old codger cause your work looks like you've got years of experience!

Nice to see many younger guys here. Must be the computer thing, my experience is locally most MRers are older.
