I'm off out soon. Is this too weighty to use in modelling or is it OK?

Hard to tell from the photo, but I would say yes it is too large/weighty.

Possibly this..

Hi there!

Mr T's right, I thought at first that the hammer looked identical to the one I use so I went and weighed mine - it was only 2.4oz so I'd say the Wickes one is probably too heavy.

Hi,
The first listing that Tomick showed from ebay is small and light,(I have just bought one).You can buy it direct from Proop`s along with a whole lot more items that may be useful.Their website is: www.proopsbrothers.com .
The company is based in Leicestershire and they told me yesterday that if you order online they send nearly everything next day. The best thing is that they manufacture the items within their group of company`s.

Take a good look through all their shop categories it`s a gold mine and well priced.

Happy hunting
