After hearing they are made in the Winsor Newton factory and heard the price being between 4.50 -8.00 for a kolinsky sable brush I gave a few a whirl . I picked up the fine detail , standard , small dry brush , and the stipple brush all for the cost of about one series 7 . I painted up one of my Iron vets featured in my guard blog , and a wraith lord and I have to say for the cost these brushes are def. worth it , I do like my series 7 better but not by much . The dry brush was great did some base work with it , the standard and fine detail held paint well and had a good flow . I havnt did much with the stipple brush but it seems like it will come in handy down the road . The handles also have a nice almost rubbery feel and offer a good comfortable grip well worth the money and cant really beat it unless you go series 7 or better .

Now if GW makes some paint shapers that would be awesome . ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/949238.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/949238.page GMT Review on the GW paint brushes there sort of expensive and can be subsituted but they are more durable than most brushes i've picked up

They're used mainly for modeling. The most common shapers are made of metal, and one of the pros they have is that if the modeling putty (be it GS or another kind) dries on it you can sand it away. Of course, one of the biggest cons is that they "hurt" the surface, so to avoid that you need to apply a layer of solid vaseline and have some soft plastic on in (like a shop's bag).

With the rubber brushes (as we call them here), you get the reversed effects: you cannot let the modeling putty dry on them by accident for you'll ruin them, but you can get them wet and work directly on the putty obtaining smooth textures.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/951031.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/951031.page GMT Review on the GW paint brushes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/952396.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/952396.page GMT Review on the GW paint brushes http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/952543.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/952543.page GMT Review on the GW paint brushes www.dickblick.com ?

It may make color shapers and series 7 much more affordable to you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/952598.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/952598.page GMT Review on the GW paint brushes
it may be true that the current GW brush is better than the previous junk . ( thus you feel like its a sudden god send deal )

It still doesnt mean the price vs quality is any better than the alternatives. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/952622.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/255007/952622.page GMT Review on the GW paint brushes
