If you sculpt, customize or prep models then you may be familiar with Carbide Scrapers.  These handy tools help with all sorts of jobs such as removing seams, carving and sculpting those crisp little details that additive methods (ie using soft clay) just can't quite match.  Excellent carbide scrapers are already available to the hobby, I use them and thoroughly recommend them, but now I'm getting more and more into Micro Mini scale models I've had to refine the size of my tools down accordingly to compliment those already available.

After several years of research and practical experience, I've designed a seven-piece set of scrapers, handles and identifiers that will help to take your work to a whole new level.

Scraper Sets

I've colour-coded the scrapers and handles to help identify them.  Each scraper is supplied in its own colour-coded tube to make it easily identifiable, with a rubber tip and shaft protector inside to keep it safe in transit.  The handles are also colour-coded with special cats-eye and Swarovski® beads, which I actually put quite a bit of research into: as we often work with the model under a bright light but our tools in lower light, I've worked out from my own experience that this specific bead combination makes the scrapers much easier to locate amongst your other tools while you work.  The colour-coding system streamlines workflow, makes future ordering/reordering so much easier and also looks great!
Space-Saver Set
​Want it all but have limited space?   This set includes one of each carbide scraper and one handle to allow you to swap scrapers as you work.  The handle supplied has a white identifier.

Upgrade kit
If you purchase the Space-Saver set and love them, you may like to upgrade to the full set without having to buy the tips and handle all over again.  This upgrade set has six handles (with identifiers in all colours except white) and the stand in either acrylic or MDF

Scrapers - individual information

Each set is supplied with one of each of the seven following designs:
Super Point
​
This is the finest carbide scraper possible.  If you want to detail the eyelids on your micro mini, add wrinkles to a stablemate or strip out that tiniest bit of paint from the smallest nook then this is one.  Coated for added strength these super-fine pointed scrapers have a gold finish.

​Note: As this scraper is designed for such delicate work, even with the coating it is not as robust as the larger ones, care should be taken not to put too much pressure on the fine end or it may snap.
Strong Point

​This scraper has the same pointed end as the Super Point, but it has a shallower angle.  For jobs that require a little more muscle, where you need to cut a little deeper which may risk breaking the tip from the Super Point, this tool will do the job.
TT Round Point

​This scraper has a very small rounded end, for when you may need to reach a tight area but not risk "scratching" the surface with a Super Point, this has just that little bit of forgiveness.  For wrinkles and hair details on the tiniest of models where you just need a very small curve at the tip to allow you some minute sideways motion.
MM Round Point

​Still a very small rounded end, the MM scraper will come in useful for eyelids and lashes on larger models down to medium details on Micro Mini scale models.  For hooves, manes, mouths and tiny nostrils, this tool is one of my most-used.
Mini Round Tip

​This scraper is a great all-rounder for mini models.  I use this one a lot for cleaning seams from tiny models.
Round Point

​Another of my go-to most used scrapers, this long round ended tool has so many uses on all scales of model.  Still smaller than any other round-ended carbide scraper currently supplied to the hobby it can be used for tiny details on larger models, and larger details on tiny models!
Square

This robust scraper is for when you have a big job in need of a sturdy tool.  Uncompromising in its design, the straight edges are great for seam removal on larger models.
