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.

Here you go ..i use a flat chisel soft /cup round firm/taper point soft all in size 0 and a knife i gave my metal tools away as the colour shapers as ther called are far better you can even use them for blending paints ..

heresy (http://www.heresyminiatures.com/) & squires (http://www.squirestools.com/) both do them (with squires having the biggest range).

Great!

Thank you both for the links!
