Brushes - A recommendation

If like me you paint a lot of figures you can go through a great deal of brushes and that can be expensive. Sadly I don't tend to take too much care of these things and I have lost count of how many expensive ones I have thrown away.

Over the last couple of years I have been trying to find some cheap alternatives that both fit my speed painting style and budget. I am delighted to recommend the following sourced from ebay.

These are called MAJOR BRUSHES

The cost of these 50 brushes is great - £17.00 for 50 (which works out at about 35p per brush) - plus a further 10% discount if you buy two or more boxes

The brushes themselves are good - holding their point for at least a couple of sessions (for me that working through 100+figures). The big sizes are great for terrain, glue and painting on varnishes/dips.

The handles are a conventional length

Typically delivery is within 48 hours

So if you are looking for a cheap alternative give these a try. PS I have nothing to do with this company and my recommendation is based on my experience
