Description
What you got with the Chip Away toy was a mallet and a chisel, and a block of "stone" which was really wax (I think) molded around a solid, plastic "statue." The conceit was you would use the little mallet and chisel to "sculpt" the "statue." What you were *really* doing was knocking the wax off piece by piece until the plastic model underneath was revealed. The set came complete with everything you needed. Unfortunately, I only remember one of the Chip Away figurines, which was a horse rearing up on its hind legs.

I had the Flintstones Chip Away set as a kid with Dino, Fred etc. I remember that it was quite a substantial toy, the chisel was actually sharp! The figures and tools were in my folks house for years and probably still are!

I had the rearing horse! I remember the chisel kept slipping and usually hit my hand with the hammer instead - you held the figure in place with a vice that was supplied (my brother still has mine)! You also has a supply of paints. It made such a mess my mum made me chip away in the garden!

I beleive I had this toy - but I always remembered it as "whittle away"- the secret sculpture inside mine was an alligator oe crocodile. Since I could not find any toy called whittle away, I think this is what I had been thinking of. I remember vividly sitting on a back porch one summer aged 5 whittling away at this toy.
