Anyone in the market for sculpting tools?

[Einion]

I\'ve been looking recently to try some new shapes of wax carver to see if any of them suit me so I\'ve been searching eBay on and off for a couple of weeks now and these are a decent price at the going rate for a set of 12 and feature many useful tip shapes:

1
2
3
4
5
6

If these are like most tools of this type they may require a little refining when you buy them as they tend to be cheaply produced and a little crude for the kind of detail we need.

Looks like a good deal. Probably need the edges smoothing.

Too bad they only ship to the states I would have bought that set.

With a little clean up 3 or 4 of them would be really useful for sculpting..most are too big and clunky. Still the price is right for what you get.

They\'ll probably require sharpening most of all, on most cheaper tools of this kind the edges can be smooth but there are \'flats\' instead of being an edge per se.

The bigger ones aren\'t that large Although some will be a bit too big for detail work at 28mm they could still be useful for smoothing larger areas but even so, a good point works nicely even if the tool\'s head is a bit big overall.

I got this exact set, but from a different ebay seller a couple weeks ago. It has several tools that work well for sculpting, and yeah, even though they said \"Brand New\", they weren\'t... but it\'s cool, a bit of sharpening and cleaning up, and they work just fine.

I got a similiar set a while back on ebay but they were brand new. Heres a link to their auction.

A bit more expensive but they are all brand new.
