Much to my delight, a casual call into Dick Blicks, today revealed that they do indeed sell Windsor and Newton Series 7 paintbrushes
22 bucks later, I got myself a nice spanking brand new 3/0
I also got a bottle of acrylic Burnt Sienna paint, brand name "Golden" never tried it before so thought Id investigate,...it comes in a nice 30ml bottle but sadly not a dropper style top
Anyway there is a wide range of paints and misc bits like retarder and flow enhancer etc etc
plus pumice paste etc etc similar to vallejo`s
I really dont like buying stuff like paint and brushes over the net as I like to see the tone of the paints and shape of the brushes
So I was a very happy chappie

ANDY ,
:woohoo: $22 for one 3/0 brush ? :pinch: Is that from the Royal Mink Sable on loan for the Wedding ? EEK. That's a steep one. I guess it's worth it right ?
Let us know how that paint is ...Please !!

yeah well the figure painters forums all say that the Series 7 is the best on the market so if I want to get better at what i do then I think I can justify that price if its going to last me a good while
Tested a bit of the paint seems to dry a lot slower that the Vallejos so better for blending plus its looks not bad ,..I got the sienna for face shading more than anything as its something that I feel lets me down at times

Yeah, You are exactly right ANDY. Your only as good as Your Tools. :woohoo: there's a joke in there somewhere ! I too need/want to step up My figure painting game & graduate into the Better Brush Club ! I need to seriously get some New Brushes !!
:hmmm The Paint sounds inviting !
Thanx for the clarification !!

LAURA,

Snake-eyes! I like the different fuses and lugs.
Well I know the conical ones were just stoppers to plug the fuse conduit, the one on the right is the tail fuse ain't it?
Remember I was a nuke loader, I hardly ever saw the hardbombs. We trained on them but that was it.
