couple of questions

what is the best for a set of paint brushes

and how well would testors enamel paint work as a good base?

>what is the best for a set of paint brushes

Everybody always says Winsor & Newton Series 7. They're $20US each, though, so if you're just starting out or are really rough on your brushes, you might want to look for something cheaper to practice with.

>and how well would testors enamel paint work as a good base?

It looked shitty in 1990, and will still look shitty today. Pic related.

holy shit, is that all enamel?

>something cheaper

like what?

>holy shit, is that all enamel?

Yep. I can tell you specifically that the red is Testors Flat Red enamel. These models have looked this pathetic for over 25 years.

Windsor and Newton Cotman series brushes are good for beginners - they're cheap but reasonable quality. Enamel should be avoided, as the other user said - goes on thick and shiny, other paints will likely have some trouble adhering over it, and it is extremely tough to remove

Finished my Raptors

And I reworked some of my icons. Here is a groupshot. Never too many icons!

absurdly sick. great oldschool vibes. the lightest highlights on the armor trim look a bit shaky in places but otherwise groovy. love the uriah jacobus
