They have a good turn around time.  Ordered last week and received it today.  I will have to wait since it was ordered by Santa Clause.  I will do a review when I get to open it.

Arise from the darkness o thread!!!!!
Just an update.  These are pretty good tools.  The designs are machined onto the acrylic and he has created a continuous pattern. Now for the knitty gritty.  With green stuff all you need to do is spray with water.  Unfortunately I think my GS is a bit old since it tends to round out the edges so not so crisp.  Saying that it would be hard to tell at a three foot tabletop distance.  Using with miliput and similar putties:  I am still working on this.  They give the crisp edges but the roller, even with a slight misting of water, unfortunately wants to pull the putty off any backing material and keep it embedded in the pattern.  I am trying to figure a workaround for this.  My first thought is non stick cooking spray.  I have not tried yet but it might work.  Using with bakable polymers like fimo and sculpy works but it still wants to draw the putty up off the backing.  All in all a good product for basing and terrain that has a bit of a learning curve.  They are reasonably priced and ship quickly to the UK.  Here are the photos.

I have not tried with blue foam yet since I do not have any at the moment but I have tried with another product that I will be posting about later.  Hope you like.

Try powdering the clay/putty with talk or cornstarch. Roll it out flat first, then thoroughly powder the surface, then go over it with the (dry) texture roller.

I feel like applying release to the roller creates problems with the release getting wiped off in the process of rolling. Applying it to the clay/putty instead ensures that the point of contact is always evenly covered.

Plus water doesn't really "stick" to acrylic, so it's easy to end up with all kinds of little spots where droplets have rolled away or whatever before it even has a chance to touch the clay. Oil or Vaseline would be better, but then you have to de-grease the clay/putty afterward before you can add anything more to it, which usually means having to harden it first (or wait for it to harden). With powder you can just blow off the excess and give it a spritz of water and you're ready for the next layer right then and there.

Doesn't seem odd to me that GS wouldn't pick up many crisp edges from the roller. That's not the GS being old, that's just how GS is. Makes sculpting organic shapes easier, 'cause rounded shapes/surfaces form naturally between tool marks, but it's also the reason why lots of sculptors switch to other materials when they have to do hard surface bits.

Try that and you will have perfect results without any powder, water lalala. the best Polymer Clay Putty I´ve ever seen AND used. And I´ve used them all believe me. Its like wax and after baking its like Plastic sprued parts. Not that crumbling, weak bouncing Fimothing.
You can get Bees Putty in UK from Heresy.

Sounds too good to be true, but even if it's only half true, it'll be better than Super Sculpy or Fimo. I'll have to give some of that a try for sculpting.

I`m not a person saying things in that way of finality if I would not be absolutly assured about it!

Here you can see a current Project from me in this Putty. After I´ve finished it I will make a review about the Putty.

Nifty! Nice deathclaw, BTW. I also looked up some youtube stuff of people sculpting with it, and liked what I saw of how the stuff behaves. Looks blessedly free of the rubberiness that afflicts so many polymer clays.
