Work Station

I like to keep my workspace well organized. The Work Table helps, however, it is not as handy as I expected. The magnify glass will help me paint small items more accurately. The LED lamp works, but I expected a stronger light. I could not find the exact cutting mat, so I ended up buying a few and needed to cut one to make it fit in the working surface. For me, it is very handy to paint the real small parts of a model, but to use it as a work space, is not really going to work as it is too small. The magnifying glass really does help, however for me, it was a very expensive buy just for a magnifying glass. Before you buy, I would think twice.

I ordered this project and I feel it is great. I took off a star because the led lights seem dim and I have to use another light to go with it. The base is a little tall so I recommend and shorter table to put in on. The extra compartments help with storage while working on your project. It doesn't come with a plug in so you have to use D batteries. I order a plug in for over seas to use with it. It's a great addition and easy to use except for the dim lighting. I ordered the cutting board that fits it. With that you have ever thing you need to work in one area. The movable arms works great as well as the magnifying glass. I would recommend this product.

I was surprised by the quality, but Tamiya always has great stuff. The magnifying lens has no distortion, and the led lights are very bright. It probably works best with models up to 1/35, but I model 1/48, and it's perfect for that. Very solid, well engineered, and I wish I had bought it sooner. The only gripe I have, is the bottle holders are square, which is great for Tamiya glues, but the round Tamiya paint bottles don't fit well. Minor complaint. Overall I give it five stars.
