Thanks Garth and Chris,
Part of my bad habits as a sculptor is that I work much too quickly and don't use calipers until it is too late. If I am pretty far along and something looks out of whack, then I resort to my calipers to do some relative measurement checks on the piece. If I find I am off, I hate to go back and rework. Especially on water based clay. I'm sure a lot of painters share this bad habit that is hard to break of getting too far ahead before you really study your relative measurements for accuracy.
