Could you share some of your shapes and sizes you're using on your current project T-Mec?

95% of the detail work on my latest is with these 5.

Left to Right

90º 6mm V, 90º 4mm V, 45º Bent Palm 1/4" V, 4mm Skew & 8mm Skew

One thing to remember when using a V tool, is to make a few passes with it don't try to bite and dig it all out at once. Even with my small palm 1/4" V, I might make 3-4 cuts to get it to the depth I'm looking for.

Hope this helps.
