RMP2 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I didnt see a hairy stick section, apols if Ive missed it, Im a man. These are what I have, bought them about 20 years ago: Both from Humbrol - a well butchered "0" I think and my old reliable fave Number 2 - Its not looking pretty is it? What I could do with is a set that would suit me for 1/48 cockpit detailing through to throwing on washes right up to something big n flat for gloss/varnish coats or general lobbing on of loads of paint nice n flat. What would you good folk recommend without going mental on the credit card? Edited December 8, 2015 by RMP2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Do you have a local branch or the Range? Their artists section will give you lots of options. Red Sable is always a good bet, but it's often down to price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Have you got 'The Works' near you? They do two sets of 4 brushes each. They're rounds and I find the detail ones [afair : 00, 3/0, 5/0, 10/0] good value at £2 for the set of 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawty82 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 If you want some brushes for "keeps" instead of use and chuck, Creative Models do a nice range of Kolinsky Sable brushes in various sizes. They're not cheap, but not exorbitantly priced either (I think a set of 5 is about £13, but don't quote me!) I've used mine over a year, and have looked after them and they're still awesome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMP2 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Seconded. Great value brushes These? - http://www.theworks.co.uk/p/paint-brushes/nylon-detail-brush---pack-of-4/5052089006096 Nylon bothers me a bit. Well, in the case of brushes anyway. Narf narf. Struggling to find a set of what Id like in Sable, ie a very very fine, a fine, a medium smallish and maybe a couple of flats. Awesome description, I know... Im thinking Santa needs to find me them in singles unless you can convince me otherwise regards nylon/fake stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I suppose a budget might help - 20 quid is reasonable for everything in my eyes - ex drafty, I know how important pencils/pens are, brushes are similar to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foghorn Leghorn Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 These? - http://www.theworks.co.uk/p/paint-brushes/nylon-detail-brush---pack-of-4/5052089006096 Nylon bothers me a bit. Well, in the case of brushes anyway. Narf narf. Yep. 4 for £2 ... it's worth a punt if nothing else. For detail painting they're quite good, they hold their points well. Whatever else you do with nylon is your own affair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say, I say - I might check out the chicken ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
