[QUOTE="nyrfherdr, post: 2322829, member: 3394"] [b]Tools[/b] Tools are a very personal thing and everyone has a favorite type and shape of tool that they use for sculpting. Every sculptor has been asked what the ‘perfect’ tool is and there is no answer. The key is to try lots of different tools to find one you are comfortable with. Once you have a comfortable tool, the only answer to getting good results is to practice.

The common tools for working with the armatures, bits, parts and the sculpting medium are pliers, tweezers, knife, drill, ruler and cutters (Figure 3). In addition are the tools you would use to actually manipulate your sculpt (the sculpting tools themselves.) Here is a stack of sculpting tools that I use (Figure 4).

I have three tools I use almost all of the time. I use an X-acto knife with a standard blade. I use a pin glued into an old paint brush and I use a sculpting ‘blade’ and burnisher. I also have a small frisket blade held tight in a pin vice I use when I work on faces. (Figure 5). I do have a few specialized tools that I like and use.
