USAFsparkchaser Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 What is a good brush for applying panel liner washes. I see some that are long and really fine. These are what I am looking for, but I am having a problem shopping on line for which ones. Please post links of where to buy them from. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dogsbody Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Any other time I would tell you to go to your local department store or craft store and get a couple 000 artist sable brushes. But, right now, I don't know what to tell you. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck1945 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Like Chris, I would normally just go to Michaels and pick up a fine liner brush, but... Here is what Amazon has https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Fine+liner+paint+brush&ref=nb_sb_noss Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like synthetic brushes because they're tougher and last longer than posh animal hair examples. Best luck- and cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 Cool thanks I got it. Ordered some from ebay yesterday. Your last amazon post confirmed it for me that o ordered the correct ones. Guess my opening post should have asked about the sizes needed. I ordered 20/0, 10/0, 5/0, should have gotten the 0, but think I will be ok with the three I ordered. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chukw Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Great! Best of luck with 'em. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt B Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) I would have been inclined to tell you to buy the finest (smallest) bristled brushes you can afford, until I ran into Michael Rinaldi, recognized throughout the armor modeling community as a terrific educator and master at realism. He espouses using #2 round brushes, snd the brand he uses are Loew-Cornel, a moderately priced brush, available at Dick Blick, via mail order, which is how I got mine. Michael likes the fine tip more than an overall small brush, and he claims a long lifetime if cared for. I have many of these brushes, but frankly, I have yet to use any, but will be doing so now that Im getting close to using his Oil Paint Rendering technique (described in super detail in his books, TankArt 1, 2, 3 and 4). A #2 is quite a healthy (meaning full) bristled brush but he uses the fine tip, even use this 'big' brush for pin washes, and the fullness allows a good amount of paint to remain in the brush while the tip allows for the detail painting that OPR requires. They really are finely made, at least from this layman's opinion! Edited April 26, 2020 by Curt B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Brushes I ordered on eBay arrived yesterday and they are awesome and exactly what I was looking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
