marine7312000 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 If I could get some Kolinsky sable brushes with handles like the ones from Army Painter, I would buy a lifetime supply.

But Rosemary is certainly not a bad brand at all, and they are cheaper than the ones I mentioned.

Kaedes Nex Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 The prices were a bit TOO low so I looked around the site and it turns out they sell actual kolinsky brushes AND those triangular "red sable" brushes. Unfortunately they don't have the triangle handle for the kolinsky, but Wikipedia says kolinsky brushes are also known as "red sable" brushes so I have no idea what Rosemary is using in their "pure red sable" brushes.

SW1 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Kolinsky hairs just the tail hairs from males of a certain age? The red is the tail hairs from the rest of the population.

Stoic Raptor Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I bought a couple of the Army Painter brushes and I was not impressed. For the price, I expected a better quality. The handles are OK for control but the bristles are unsat. The Regiment brush is OK for its purpose, but the "Insane Detail" brush lost its point within a day or two - and I take very good care of my brushes. I think what they mean is, if you try to use this brush for details, you must be insane. I am often forced to use lesser brushes due to availability, but I'd honeslty prefer to stick to Kolinsky brushes all the time if I could. I know they are available online, but I like to actually inspect a brush before I lay down the money. I've seen the sad shape some brushes are in just from packing and handling, let alone use.

White Wolf Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I have started using the Rosemary series 323 spotter brushes. They hold a good amount of paint and the shortened bristles make control easy. Personally I can't recommend the highly enough I did try an Army Painter brush once but it went in the bin in 5 minutes, lJust like their spray paints to be honest.

AndrewChristlieb Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've been using an insane detail and a psycho for all my detail work that I picked up.... 3 years ago? They're both still in good shape. If anything they may have some quality control issues if people are getting mixed results.
