My Favorite Brushes for Scale Model Painting (Updated)
I’ve just updated my original post on my favorite paintbrushes to ensure it still reads clearly and provides the most useful advice for all modelers. Whether you’re weathering, working on fine details, or dry-brushing, I’ve found a reliable mix of synthetic and sable brushes that always get the job done.
In this update, I highlight my go-to brushes, including AK-Interactive's durable orange-handled synthetics, Winsor & Newton’s premium Series 7 sable brushes, and some surprisingly affordable finds from Tamiya.
“It’s all about picking the right tool for the job, and I’ve had great success with these brushes over the years.”
Curious how I use these brushes throughout their lifecycle? I rotate them as they wear down, assigning them new roles from fine detail work to weathering and beyond. It’s all part of the fun of modeling!
Check out the full article for more details on why I love these brushes and how they perform. Whether you’re a seasoned modeler or just starting out, I hope you find your own go-to brushes as well.
