I spent quite a while trying out brushes as I am a bit rough with them and I am continually washing and cleaning them as I come and go on a project. I think these Tamiya brushes would survive a nuclear attack and still have a good point on them.<br /><br />carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-62012445873252747462015-08-07T03:38:10.109-07:002015-08-07T03:38:10.109-07:00Hi Vince, yes my sturdy little sticks need the occ...Hi Vince, yes my sturdy little sticks need the occasional scrape with the Stanley knife, nut have given sterling service from WWII TO Napoleonics..<br /><br />Good point about the varnish. I hope the colour selection I have gone for will offset that effect and I find the Vallejo varnish really kind to their colours which are so loaded with pigment that they seem to withstand the varnish anyway.<br /><br />The other effect I like to catch is to paint lighter the smaller the scale, and so I would not go so much with added white of buff to a colour with 28mm. Also I try to take into account the effects of the Spanish sun on strong colours which will take it back that bit lighter.carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-4488368684702080122015-08-07T03:32:16.851-07:002015-08-07T03:32:16.851-07:00Cheers Furphy, glad you like it.

I may have to give one of the Tamiya's a test.<br /><br />Congratulations on the new job. Hope it was of your choosing and liking.<br /><br />Enjoyed Part II of the tutorial and looking forward to the final chapter.<br /><br />Great work as always.
