Very similar to yours. Add small snap shut plastic bags for putting bits in.

May be a bit dopey but Stuart what are Rubber blending stumps ?

If i can enlighten you Laurie

These are silicon/rubber "brushes" that clay modelers (and similar) use to shape the clay fo finer detail.

They also can be made from compressed paper as a disposable type.

Correctamundo Colin, I got mine in Lidl for some daft low price like 1 or 2 quid. soak in water and good for smoothing over milliput or squadron putty. good for pushing decals into details as they're flexible yet still solid
