Rudolf Klimke’s Dr.1 in 1:32 scale

Paddy, I don't think you can get much better than a Winsor & Newton Series 7 3/0, but seriously I was only joking when I said that the brush magnifies the same as the bit you're painting. 

Cheers

Pete, I took it as kidding. 

I sure agree on the W & N Series 7 brushes. I have a 3/0 up thru a #1 that I use just for acrylic paint with the #0 probably getting the most use when needing to do fine work.

Read some where that if possible to have a set of brushes just for acrylics and another for oils and I assume that includes enamels in the oil set. If I remember correctly it was argued that it is very hard to get oils completely cleaned from the brush and then that causes a repelling of the water based type acrylics when you are loading the brush. I don’t know if that’s over kill but I do keep two sets. I have some Da Vinci Maestro that I keep for the oils just to remind me that these are for oil but they’re not the quality of the W&N Series 7 brushes IMO. May have to do something about that one of these days when I can work some more Series 7’s into the budget. 

Cheers,

They certainly aren't cheap, in the UK they start off at £6.50 for a 3/0 and then work up from there, if I remember correctly the largest series 7 brush is about £190.00. 

Cheers

That being said, when used carefully, a Series 7 lasts 3x as long as the cheaper brushes.

Hello Andrew,

Thanks for that but I'm afraid I'm stalled at the present time. Little time in the shop as we're in a vacation period, doing day trips and also domestics about the yard. Love being outside with none of that funny white stuff on the ground. 

I'll be pulling at the bit before its over to get restarted but for now the lights are out in the hanger.

I feel your pain Paddy. Only good thing about the white stuff is it hides all the other stuff that needs to be done when it's gone! My workbench time is taking a beating for the same reason, hopefully I'll get caught up soon.
Cheers,

Spot on Lance.

Don't get the white stuff where I am, just lots of fast growing green stuff that is slowing down as the cold weather kicks in for another Aussie winter.
So a bit more time to hit the bench for me.

Oh! I forgot to mention that the "fast growing green stuff" is part of what comes up from under the "white" stuff annually. Once all cut and trimmed mine takes 4-5 hours. I live on an acreage and have far too much of the stuff. I'll try to find a place with concrete landscaping to retire to soon...

Do I foresee something like . . . maybe a . . . vineyard in your future?

Chris,
    Ouch!! SWMBO has mentioned one of the great things about moving east is the "wine country" aspect; fancies herself getting a "hobby-job" as as a Tour Guide at a Vineyard. For my part I'd rather buy good SE Australian here and continue shovelling the white stuff!

She may need that job when you see the house prices down that way!
