I Agree that every working carver should have one of these. Actually it's Better than Resin because you can take the detail much finer than the machine can "Carve", thus making each piece still individual and quicker. Using this setup to do the basic rough-out would make a lot of sense, especially if you are creating multiples of your work. I would love to have one and would not be afraid to use it often. It costs quite a bit but within a short time it could pay for itself. With it, the peeps would be saying "Wow, that piece looks like Wood,, wow it IS wood" instead of "Wow this resin sure looks like wood" I WANT ONE! I'm w/ you on that Benz. I plan on working up some stuff I can rough-out then finish by hand chiseling to save some time. I gotta make this thing pay for itself somehow--we'll see.
