Lachdannan Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi there, this seems kinda basic to ask I suppose, but the company that I usually get my brushes from seems to have/be disappearing. This means I'm trying to find another manufacturer of brushes that produces good quality brushes. I tried the citadel brushes again after a long hiatus, and am disappointed with the quality already. Is there any brushes that you guys recommend? I usually paint with OOO or OO, and do detail with 10/O or 20/O. All the brushes I find recently, just lose their pointed shape after a couple of uses, and I only have a few of my old good brushes left. Any help would be appreciated.

ShinyRhino Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 What brushes are you currently using? Are they acrylic or sable? Lots of folks like Windsor and Newton Series 7s.

Bryan Blaire Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I haven't used the Windsor and Newton Series 7s, but a lot of people swear by them. What I can personally recommend are the Army Painter brushes, I really love my Regiment, Character and Insane Detail brushes, they work fantastic for me!

Lachdannan Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Thanks for the replies. Currently I'm using Francheville brushes. Might look into the Windsor and Newton Series. Army painter ones look good as well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254371-brushes/#findComment-3089804 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 W&N Series 7 are worth every penny. I really don't know how they compare to other brushes, because once I tried them, I didn't look for another brush. :cuss Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254371-brushes/#findComment-3089893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sounds promising, just hope they have an online store. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254371-brushes/#findComment-3089964 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachdannan Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hmm, nice site. They do, but I found a local webstore that does. Might buy a few a give them a try. Thanks for the input though.

Subtle Discord Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 A few is all you'll need, really. I've been using the last three I bought (A #1 for larger work, a #0 for general, and a #000 for fine detail) for several years. Even my first #0 that's got to be almost ten years old is still used as my good rough brush. If you don't have some already, spend $3 on a small cake of Brush Cleaner like "The Masters" brand, and that's all you'll ever need to keep all of your brushes in great shape for a looong time. The stuff pays for itself the first time you rescue a brush with dried-in paint, with no effort at all.

Lachdannan Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Hmm, never heard of this brush cleaner before, Sounds like a worthy investment. Cheers, I think I'll pick them up. Sounds like these brushes are just the thing I'm looking for! Such a relief to finally find some decent brushes.
