Alex Paints Essentials Deluxe — 4 Sable Rounds, Walnut

A curated everyday kit: the Alex Paints Essentials set gathers 4 round Kolinsky sable paintbrushes in sizes 3, 2, 1 and 0 — the core sizes that cover the vast majority of miniature and bust painting, from laying in colour to fine detail. Developed in association with painter Alex Paints, it’s a tidy, no-fuss selection for painters who want the sizes that matter and nothing they don’t.

The set comes in a biodegradable packet with protective covers for the hairs. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, designed for modellers by modellers.

Every dry-brush shape you need in one pack: this set of 3 synthetic dry brushes contains a Flat Oval, a Round Oval and a Deerfoot — the three heads that between them cover broad highlighting, softer organic textures and stippled raised detail. Ideal for chainmail, fur, stonework, terrain and weathered metals.

The set comes in a cellophane packet. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, designed for modellers by modellers.

Built for the tabletop: our Micro & Gaming paintbrushes pair quality hair with ergonomic, polished walnut handles that sit comfortably in the hand through long painting sessions. It’s the range designed with wargamers and gaming-figure painters in mind — from base coats to the finest highlights on 28–32mm miniatures.

Choose a single brush from the range: Kolinsky sable rounds (4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 000, 10/0), sable flats (1, 3), a synthetic liner (20/0) for the very finest lines, and synthetic flat angulars (2, 4) for edges and dry work. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, designed for modellers by modellers.
