I almost jumped up and down... but then I saw the scale...

I understand your feelings, Braille certainly isn't for anyone
For what it's worth, I consider Blackdog as one of the heroes of small scale armor and I'm sure a lot of modern Braille fans will welcome this with open arms

To be honest... the problem is with my eyesight and not with braille scale itself
I actually think small scale like 1/72 and 1/48 would be perfect for someone like me who lives in an apartment and doesn't have a whole lot of space... but old age and diabetes have affected my eyesight badly

I fully understand Hisham. I can get away with it for now with glasses, but my fingers are another matter. I keep breaking the darn pieces, I could really use some finess in that department, LOL
That's why I love 1/48, it's the perfect median between too small and too big. The only problem is that there is too little out there atm. I do not enjoy 1/48 PE buckles and straps though, they really need to just make them one piece with the bins and other stuff they go on. I can only glue those little pieces to my fingers so many times before I get fed up with them
