Are these pencils good for intricate detailed drawings ie small patterned work? Would very much appreciate your views as I am only just starting out.

yes you can use them for intricate work but once you have done the main sharpening you can keep a very fine edge with a small piece of wet and dry sandpaper. This will save you actually sharpening away valuable pencil until the lead is so far down you have to use the sharpener. If you are doing multiple layers, you tend to get a waxy build up, therefore you can use a solvent to spread the colour you have already used, which makes it very rich but also allows you to layer even more colours on top. I hope this helps a little bit.

Black, Warm grey2, Warm grey5, Venetian red, raw umber, walnut brown, Burnt ochre, dark phthalo green, emerald green, earth green yellowish, light green, phthalo blue, helioblue-redish. light ultramarine, ultramarine, dark red, magenta, pale geranium lake, deep scarlet red, dark cadmium orange, dark chrome yellow, cadmium yellow, light yellow glaze, white. Hope this helps. 24 colours.

How useable is the 120 tin? Are the inserts quite durable or do the pencils need to be put into another kind of holder to prevent them spilling?

The 3 trays inside are plastic, but covered in something that makes them feel like velvet. The pencils each have their own little groove in the inner boxes so they will not spill around inside. There are elastic band grips on either side to ease lifting each layer out of the box and on to a table. I have transported mine several times and this is not a problem. Would make sure that the tips of the pencils were pointing upwards during transport to prevent breaking and perhaps use an elastic around the case itself to ensure that the lid does not pop open. Saying that, mine never has but I carry mine in a laptop type case so there is ample pressure to ensure it stays closed. On a whole I love these pencils and the packaging they came in.

Can someone please list the 36 colours in this set? Thanks
