Invest in a set of sables, even some of the cheap ones on amazon are good for a bit of use. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994200.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994200.page GMT Re:The army painter "hobby brushes" poor quality for detail

I found this on the army painter brushes I have bought as well. And the hook formed pretty quickly from new.

I ended up buying the higher quality detail brushes in the army painter range. They turn up tomorrow so hopefully they do the job, its so annoying I start a highlight nicely then I forms the hook and ruins everything.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994230.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994230.page GMT The army painter "hobby brushes" poor quality for detail http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994240.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994240.page GMT The army painter "hobby brushes" poor quality for detail
(which is a HUGE problem for my windsor and newton....the tips are so fine, they just don't hold ANY paint, and that's so terribly annoying to post-brush all the edges again).

If you really want to have great value for your $$, I highly recommend the DaVinci Sable Brush Set. I started out with it and it's pretty much a better GW aquivalent for the same price.

(It's actually a chunk more expensive in the UK than it is in Germany)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994664.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994664.page GMT The army painter "hobby brushes" poor quality for detail

I recently bought the army painter hobby starter set and it's great value for what you get. However I have found the brushes at the tip form a hook like end which is obviously terrible for precise edge highlighting. The white "Wargamer ones seem better but on the whole I've been disappointed with the brown starter style brushes.

This is partly the brushes, they're ok, but nothing special, and likely partly user error too. Do you clean your brushes with brush soap? Make every effort to get them back to a fine point while they dry?

Since you're in the UK, rather than get the 'better' Army Painter brushes you should look at getting Rosemary & Co. series 33. They're only a little bit more expensive and yet they're comfortably superior (if you take good care of them). Comprable to WN 7 series quality.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/757587/9994768.page GMT
