the testors generic plastic brushes that come in the kits for aplying PVA glue for bases and such.

I use those to mix paint. Dig the bristles in and swirl around. Mixes quick!
I only buy synthetic brushes because I don\'t want to support the fur industry.

what the silly generic testors brushes?

http://www.testors.com

search for \"Shed-Proof Brush\"

they range from $1 for one to $2 for 3.

or just look for the chldrens brushs in the toy department.

they are just nylon bristels.

Do yourself a favour - buy some good brushes NOW. Even if they\'re just nylon ones, not sable. GW brushes are cack. I can\'t for the life of me figure out how you paint so well with them, unless you pick through and find the 1 in 100 that doesn\'t look like a spread out tuft of grass.

its just a knack . you\'ve gotta wash \'em out more regularly and every time you load \'em up with paint, re-shape the tip, cos they hold bugger all before they splay...so after you\'ve re=shaped the tip by removing most of the paint, you have like 2 brush-strokes worth before they\'re dry again. its just a more complex process. fortunately, i\'ve switched brushes now . now, i\'d have a hell of a time getting even vaguely acceptable results with a GW brush (not totally true. i\'ve had a GW standard brush that\'s been with me for aboiut a year now. i still use it for larger areas of layering)
