Where in the U.S. can I find the Foundry paint brushes? I've looked a couple places,and cannot find them.
Thanks. Bob |

Only Foundry I think. I have some and they are well worth the price. Kolinsky (sp?) Sable from Vallejo are also very good brushes. |

Hmmm, I was afraid of that! I saw them in the Foundry Painting Guide,and they look like damn nice brushes! Bob |

I recently bought some brushes from Foundry, they are by far the best brushes I have used. I have used plenty of expensive brushes and the most durable I have found. I wish you could buy them in the US. John |

I got some Foundry brushes when I bought one of the paint sets a few years back and they were awful. Poor points and they shed fibers. Do yourself a favor and buy some quality brushes like Windsor& Newton series 7 or Rafael 8404. link link |

I can also endorse the Windsor&Netwon series 7. I have had the same size 0 brush for nearly 12 months, and its still going strong. I exclusively paint 15mm and have no trouble getting any level of detail required (that I can manage :0))with this size. Tim |

Winsor&Newton Series 7. Yes, well worth the money and they do last a long time. Ivan. |

I have painted over 150 28mm with one Foundry "fine detail" sable brush and still works as fine as with the first |

I've used Fernando's brushes for some years now and recommend them thoroughly. Sable and inexpensive!

Kellerman; I think that fine detail brush is the best of that group, still get great service from mine! |

W&N7 are excellent but a bit expensive.
I buy Rosemary and Co series 33 nowadays.
These are also hand made kolinsky sable and are almost as good as W&N7. I think they are effectively as good as W&N7 for my purposes. This is a small cottage industry sized UK business so I don't know about postage costs to the US and I doubt very much if she/they have a US distributor. |
finally paints the first of his Gauls...
