Got the tools yesterday - I\'ll let you know what I think when I get a chance to use them, but they seem quite solid, and the textured grips are quite nice :)

Ah, made by Rolson. They should be pretty decent then (better than Am-Tech for example).

i found off cuts of 1.5 and 2.5 core copper wire after a house re-wiring job flattened with a hammer and shaped to my own needs work great. I cut them to about 10cm lengths, left the plastic sleeving in the middle for grip and striped off about 1.5 cms of sleeving from each end to expose the wire.

They work very well... pity i\'m shite at sculpting tho, lol :cry:

yeah - ive got the maplins set but i bought it elsewhere in different packaging. ive seen the exact same set in countless different guises! theyre good though.

certainly get some silicone tipped colour shapers though. as you may have read elsewere in the forums, llidl are selling a set of 4 for £1.99 at the moment (look around the art materials, theyll be by the paint brushes). its a bargain when you consider youd pay more than that for one decent one. they have pretty massive handles / grips but the silicone tip is a decent size, especially for polymer clay stuff :)
