Hello all, looking for some feedback on a practicing tool. This is something that I would have liked to have when I first started learning how to paint faces. The idea is its a widget about 76mm wide, and it has one 30mm, 20mm, 15mm, two 10mm, and two 6mm heads all in high detail. The widget is designed to make each head have easy access and to be comfortable to hold.

If the price point was $15-20 or so, is it something you think novice painters (or even experienced ones wanting to practice or try out new ideas) would be interested in?

I could make more types, such as orks, demons, dragons, etc, something to cover the gamut of busts and models out there.

So is it too weird/niche or would it be helpful?

Ive only printed the one Old Man prototype, but here are the other renders:

I think I would end up cutting them off to paint them tbh

That is one surreal looking sprue.

Personally id say that if it was going to be a "tool" id redesign the tool to be cast in white metal and add a bit more neck so that people that want to can cut them off and use them on models OR otherwise throw into acetone and reuse the thing indefinitely. not sure if that is good for business but thats what i would like in a tool like this.
