Last night i tried out my SMD sodlering skills on a very generously donated board and few surplus components, thanks Kevin, and I'm happy to say that it wasn't as hard as I forst thought. I managed a few without any magnification and as long as there is good light then I'm not sure that its actually that hard on the 1206 type components. A couple of the smaller ones presented a bit of a problem so i tried firstly under a 2x magnification and that seemed to do the trick and used the 4x microscope to check against Kevins soldered joints.
A few were 'over soldered' but the technique developed and after 20 or so attempts they weren't looking too bad. So this evening I will start on the power supply part of the softrock
