I ordered mine directly from their website:

I didn't know you sculpted! Any chance we will see some of your work? Or is it mainly for gap filling?
I should have thought of Tiranti. I get the impression that there are lots of different types/qualities of Wax 5 available, but I wasn't sure precisely what shape I was looking for. Ta for the suggestion. |

I do a lot of my own conversions. Never tried a whole figure.

Emphasis on semi. 
So this is the fabled Wax 5 eh? It does look good. I'll have to track one down. |

I doubt it ... I want those figs to look good 
I need to think about it ... my skills are very very very very very humble in this category.
I think I'd like to start simple and maybe try the fan sprue ... hot dog, foam finger, mug of beer, beer can, pennant. Basic shapes without a lot of detail ... useful, needed, and easy for a beginner.

I found an article about sculpting but after asking the writer of this article I was asked not to post the pages here but rather list this link to his homepage, give it a look, to me it looks very good, only thing is that this person also has his own store so I am not sure if you wish it to stay here or not.

Sorry I missed the question.
That IS the fabled Wax 5. I got mine given from a guy called Tom (Ralfmetal around various forums) who is a dental technician. Well he makes false teeth.
It also happens my girlfriend works in a dentists too and brought me loads of other types but the Wax5 is the only one used.
The packs of tools you can get from various suppliers are pretty good but I feel they can be a bit rough and need a bit sanding to smooth the edges. |

Isn't the ball burnisher just a rounded end used to flatten out uneven sufaces?
