Only £300 from Aldi, apparently:-

Wonder if they do spare feet for bears? You could use your good one as a model, but then you might really end up with two left feet.

Hell, over here it's just 300 Pacific Pesos. No wonder they call the UK Treasure Island.

Dave I’ll have that if nobody has offered.
Are you not impressed with them?

I think it’s finally time to invest in some decent brushes; I know this was discussed recently on the crapatalk iteration of the forum, but does anybody have any recommendations? Both brush & supplier Information is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Windsor & Newton Series 7, size 1. I’ve painted a couple of hundred figures so far with this brush and it’s still as good as new

Rosemary and Co. Great brushes and a good price but the postage can be eye watering!

Do you paint with enamels, acrylic or something else? That'll make a difference to what sort of brush you need.

I'm also a dedicated W&N S7 man - expensive but superb if you look after them. I've tried Rosemary & Co once- cheaper but wasnt that impressed with the quality - maybe i had a bad batch as all other reviews of them seem positive.

I actually use cheap an cheerful Artmaster brushes and ditch them when the points start to go.

Artmaster and Rosemary brushes are run by a husband and wife combo wirh Artmaster offering cheaper brushes.
