Hi,

I have very recently started getting into sculpting, and am looking to improve my sculpting tool arsenal. At them moment all I have is the GW sculpting tool and am finding it a bit tricky to get good results. seems to always get cought in the putty even if it has plenty of lubrication on.

Any way from reading on this site and various other sources lots of people have reccomended clay shapers.I also watced a tutorial vidio and the sculpter in that was using them and they looked just the ticket.

there are not any art or craft shops near me so im going to need to order them on line. So i have a bit of look around to see what is on offer but there are so many options I dont know what i need. there seems to be all different sizes and some are soft and others firm. So im not really sure what I need.

Please could someone let me know what would be a good selection to get started with, and also a good online supplier that ship to the UK.

They don't need to be the very best just good all rounders.

cheers for your help.

Go to Heresy Miniatures and stock up on other modelling supplies at the same time. I have the set of 12 but you don't need them all, the set of six is fine.

There is another type which is like a paint brush with a shaped rubber tip, these can be useful.

I also have the type which is a wooden handle with a wire loop at each end, I don't like them nearly as much as the metal ones, but it's what suits you that matters.

Most of these can also be ordered through Amazon.co.uk.

Hope that helps!

Look up dental tools. Same stuff and you can get way more tools for the same price.
