better pictures now!!!

BTW, the cart is available for purchase. I understand that it is quite lonely there and a shipping for that is quite ridiculous, but ... here it is!

Would the blades from this Grain Enhancer work well on styrene - and save time?

well, in my honest opinion that tools sucks.

i'll explain why: for almost everything a metal - brass brush is better!
-for the BALSA that tool is not good, since the balsawood has already his veins, they have only to be enhanged. Carving other veins make everything like broken.
-for the non-balsa wood is useless, because the other woods are good to be painted with diluited acrylics directly, for exalting the lines without a real texture!
-for the plasticard and simliar is too regular, you need something more "human", and a sharpen point could do the work. After that, some sanding and brush and sanding again!


actually, the first time i saw that i thought "cool!"... but thinking about it it is quite useless... :-\
of course in my opinion! =)

I see your point, always good to get someone else's view.

well, of course i'm talking related to my experiences and techniques, probably for other people it is an essential tool for the model making!
