    BrokenToad brushes are available in sizes 2,1,0 & 3/0 currently, each one is individually handmade from pure 100% male Kolinsky sable (Mustela Sibirica) hair by brush makers with 30 years’ experience in the artist brush making industry. All the hair for our brushes is ethically sourced, fitted into cupronickel ferrules and presented on varnished Birch wood handles which come from a sustainable forest in Germany. The brush head features an ample belly, capable of holding a decent amount of paint, which tapers to a very fine point allowing the paint to flow precisely and accurately onto the model. With its natural conical shape and excellent snap we feel that handmade Kolinsky sable hair brushes are the best choice for model painters.

    Currently we have 20 pigments in our range spanning a wide array of colours to help simulates multiple naturally occurring effects, these are all completely non-toxic, very finely ground natural mineral pigments suitable for either dusting straight onto a model or mixing with any liquid medium such as glaze medium, varnish, white spirit, acrylic resin or Isopropyl alcohol. All the pigments come in short, wide 30ml pots

    Don't worry Derek no toads were harmed in the making of any of these products.
    I'll definitely be taking a closer look at these as I'm due some new brushes.

    I love them too, in fact, working with them now to re paint my Axe Faction miniature that I did complete but was not happy with. I will be ordering a second set.

    Cost perspective how does these brushes compare to W/N Series 7 or Da Vinci?

    Cheers

    Ray

    Tips of the brushes should be good for acrylics I think.

    I'm with Nap worth giving them a go, especially as Brian has given them the thumbs up.

    Just ordered some as well. You can get a set of four for about the price of one W/N series 7. Artisan-quarters has some other nice stuff on their site too:)
