The Tamiya Work Stand w/Magnifying Lens features a large acrylic magnifying lens with 2X magnification so you?ll be able to see all the small details with clarity, making it easy to work long hours on your favorite model. To make sure you always have perfect lighting in the place where you need it most, 6 white LED lamps are installed just behind the magnifying lens. Powered by 4 D batteries you will have more than 150 hours of perfect white light. The lens and light are mounted on a handy adjustable arm which is connected to the work base, a work space specially designed for Tamiya modelers. Some of the handy functions featured include a frame on the base designed to perfectly fit Tamiya's A4 size Cutting Mat, 5 clip holders on both left and right sides, a decal tray to be filled with water and used when applying decals, a back board to prevent parts from flying off when cutting away from sprues, 4 bottle holders that are specially designed to fit Tamiya cement, acrylic paint and enamel paint bottles, 3 paint brush holders and a handy carry grip for easy mobility. This handy work place is also perfect for any type of fine work requiring good light and clear vision. From all types of arts and crafts such as carving, painting, embroidery and beading to handy everyday uses, the possibilities are truly limitless. Although you may power your workstation with 4 D batteries for up to 150 hours, you may want to plug it into to AC power. AC power converters can be purchased at your local electronics store (i.e.: Radio Shack), and be sure to ask for a 6VDC 800mA AC/DC converter. Most of these units are supplied with multiple size plugs and one will fit the socket on your workstation.
