Hy!

Do you use any kind of magnifying glass or goggles when you paint or convert your miniatures, and if so then what kind and how strong. Cuz I have never used ,but I think maybe I should.

I bought some magnifying goggles awhile ago and they worked pretty well actually. Although, I don't use them too much these days. I reckon your eyes get used to looking at a smaller scale after awhile, but they work pretty good. I don't know about actually glasses though, but the headset ones work very well, even the cheaper ones. Plus, you can run around your house during painting breaks pretending your playing Modern Warfare!

I have a set of "helping hands" which have a magnifying glass built into them. It is pretty cool.

I know what you speak of, but have not been able to find a pair for my own use.

Any links to places they can be found?

I imagine if you do the same search on google.com you will get American stores
