. I'm considering getting a multitool tomorrow for that very reason. I don't think it's cheating - a tools a tool, innit? Otherwise I'd have had to hack it all out with my teeth and fingernails. I don't think the jugal will jut as much in the sculpture as it does in reality.

60+ accessories plus the tool.... £10, cheaper than a 5 minute handjob in Kings Cross!
........... Although maybe not as satisfying......... let's see how yours turns out.

Bought a £10 cheapie non-Dremel on fleabay which has done a few jobs and lasted more than a year so far. Mind, I haven't tried excavating teeth from an oak T-Rex yet.

Yes, I'm looking at the copy rather than the "brand" myself. With the basic Dremel kit, you get very few accessories. If I start doing more sculpture, then I might start looking at more long-lived tools. I've had a reasonable offer for the T-rex, but I think it should be worth a little more with the right standard of finish.

When did you last sculpt anything? And, to be honest, don't you find the whole idea of "qualifying" in art to be an utter sham? If you can paint, draw, sculpt, or anything else, it doesn't matter what your qualifications are, does it? Neither does it matter what you choose to paint, draw or sculpt with, whether it be the tools you use or the medium you work upon. If you're going to be snide all the time get the **** off of my thread.

You're starting to come over a bit sad now, Robin. When did you last sculpt anything? And, to be honest, don't you find the whole idea of "qualifying" in art to be an utter sham? If you can paint, draw, sculpt, or anything else, it doesn't matter what your qualifications are, does it? Neither does it matter what you choose to paint, draw or sculpt with, whether it be the tools you use or the medium you work upon.

It's not a question of "handling it", BTW. You definitely have a bitter edge to your posting on this subject, and it's making you look a bit... er... jealous.
