![]() ![]() Turns out there really are some quality control issues: Issue resolved, simples, right?Įr, no, not exactly. So I switched to the 'M', cutting the amount of paint in the brush by half. The Brits are considerably narrower, with a much smaller belly: Here's a W&N 7, An Artis Opis and a Rosemary Series 8. ![]() The Squidmar 'L' is closer in shape and size to a Raphael 8404:Īlthough the bristles are around the same length it's actually a much larger brush. I usually use British No 1 size brushes, Rosemary, W&N and so forth. The first issue was me using the biggest brush on a figure around an inch high.

They're probably the best looking brushes I've ever seen: (A box I enjoyed so much I grabbed another when I started to run out of minis to paint from the original.) The results were illuminating, to say the least.įirst, the chaps, from the old Dark Vengeance box set. Well, last month I finally got a chance to dust them down and see for myself. Mine were delivered on time, looked absolutely gorgeous and got thrown into the 'ready use' drawer, to be given a months long ignoring to until I could finally find some time to use them. Reviewers shilled the heck out of them- they were undeniably the best mini brushes on the market! Some backers weren't so sure, with complaints of late delivery and serious quality control issues popping up all over the place. otherwise, we are all just people who enjoy the game.Last year, youtube phenomenon and professional painter Emil Nystrom, better known as 'Squidmar', crowdfunded a set of Kolinsky paintbrushes, aimed specifically at miniature painters. ![]() The Moderator symbol will be shown next to the mod's username only if it is an announcement so if you see it, you may want to check it out.
