Base coating is the unglamorous half of a paint job, and the wrong brush makes it twice the work — too thin and you are reloading every stroke, too dry and you get streaks. The Army Painter Basecoating brush has a thicker body sized to hold a real load of paint without dumping it all on the first stroke, so structure walls, hopper sides and batches of platform figures go down smooth and even. It is the workhorse of the Hobby range. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features Thicker brush body holds a generous load of paint without spilling it on the first stroke. Lays clean, even coverage across larger areas — walls, roofs, rolling stock sides. Built for painting the bulk of a batch: figures, crews, whole structure kits. High-quality taklon bristles keep their shape and rinse clean. Signature Army Painter red handle, balanced for long bench sessions. Works with acrylics, Speedpaints and washes in every scale. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number BR7003P Series Hobby Brush Bristles Taklon synthetic Tip Round, thick body Best For Base coats, structure walls, larger areas, batches of figures Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799700307 Frequently Asked Questions What scale is this brush for?Any of them. It is sized for covering area, so it earns its keep most on HO and larger structures — but it base coats N scale buildings just as well. Can I use this for priming a whole structure?For a large kit, a rattle can or airbrush is faster. This brush is ideal for base coating walls, roofs and detail parts, and for touching up after a spray primer. What are taklon bristles?A synthetic filament that mimics the absorption of natural sable without animal hair. It holds a point well and rinses clean in cold water. How do I make it last?Load paint on the tip only, never up into the ferrule. Rinse in cold water immediately after use and store the brush tip-up.

Drybrushing is the fastest weathering trick in model railroading — a nearly-dry brush dragged over raised detail catches the edges and leaves the recesses dark, which is exactly how real grime and wear behave. The Army Painter Hobby Drybrush is flat-topped and deliberately coarse for the job, so rivet lines pop, brick courses separate, rock castings gain depth and a hopper picks up rust in about a minute per side. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features Flat-topped, coarse bristles — purpose-built for the drybrushing technique. Catches raised detail: rivets, brick courses, rock castings, wood grain, tread plate. Round handle allows a flexible grip and the loose wrist drybrushing wants. Nylon bristles take the abuse of a scrubbing motion better than a soft detail brush. Signature Army Painter red handle matches the rest of the Hobby series. Works with acrylics and weathering powders in every scale. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number BR7015P Series Hobby Brush Bristles Nylon (synthetic) Tip Flat-topped, coarse Best For Weathering, rust and dust, raised detail, rock and brick texture Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799701502 Frequently Asked Questions What is drybrushing?You load a little paint, wipe almost all of it off onto a paper towel, then drag the near-dry brush across raised detail. Only the high points take paint, which instantly reads as wear, dust or highlight. Why not use a normal brush?Drybrushing is hard on bristles — it is a scrubbing motion that splays a soft detail brush and ruins its point. A dedicated coarse, flat-topped brush is built to survive it. What can I use it for on a layout?Rust and grime on rolling stock, dust on trucks and underframes, mortar lines on brick, depth in rock castings, and wood grain on decking. How do I clean it?Rinse in cold water right after use. Drybrushing dries paint into the bristles fast, so do not let it sit — and always store it tip-up.

The big-area brush of the Wargamer range. Army Painter built the Monster for large models — and on a layout that means structure walls, roofs, vehicle bodies, big rock castings and backdrop work. The interesting part is why it is synthetic rather than sable: Army Painter notes that a sable brush this size could drown a model in paint, while Toray synthetic releases paint more slowly. That is exactly what you want laying a base coat across a warehouse wall without flooding the mortar lines. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features Sized for large surfaces — structure walls, roofs, vehicle bodies, big scenery castings. Toray synthetic releases paint slower than sable at this size, so coverage stays controlled. Lays a smooth base coat or shade across a big area in few strokes. Also handles brush-applied primer and washes on large parts. Signature Wargamer handle and protective cap. Works with acrylics, Speedpaints and washes in every scale. More Information Brand The Army Painter Item Number BR7008P Series Wargamer Brush Bristles Toray synthetic Tip Large, rounded Best For Base coating structures, vehicles, large scenery castings Condition New UPC/EAN 5713799700802 Frequently Asked Questions What would I use this for on a layout?Base coating structure walls and roofs, painting vehicle bodies, covering large rock or tunnel-portal castings, and flooding washes over big surfaces. Why synthetic instead of sable?Army Painter’s own reasoning: a sable brush this size holds so much paint it could drown a model. The Toray synthetic releases paint more slowly, which keeps a big brush controllable. Is it too big for HO or N scale?It is a broad-area brush, so it earns its keep on structures and scenery rather than on individual figures. For detail on small models, pair it with the Precise Detail (BR7001P) or Super Detail (BR7016P). How do I make it last?Rinse in cold water immediately after use, never let paint dry in the ferrule, and store the brush tip-up with the cap on.

The small member of Army Painter’s angled drybrush pair, and the one that gets the most use in model railroading. Its 43-degree angle cut lets you attack a specific area — a radiator grille, a truck sideframe, a run of rivets, a course of brick — without dragging weathering across the whole model. Army Painter designed it for exactly that: drybrushing part of a model rather than all of it at once. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features 43-degree angle cut puts the bristle face flat on the detail without bending your wrist. Sized for drybrushing a specific area — grilles, trucks, rivets, brick, tread plate.

This one targets a specific area — a grille or a truck. The Large (BR7010P) covers a whole boxcar side or roof in fewer passes. What is the 43-degree cut for?It presents the bristle face flat against the model at a natural hand angle, so you are not twisting your wrist to make contact. It makes controlled, repeatable drybrushing much easier. What can I use it for on a layout?Rust streaks on hoppers, dust on trucks and underframes, highlighting rivet lines and grab irons, mortar in brick, and depth in rock castings. How do I clean it?Rinse in cold water right after use — drybrushing dries paint into the bristles fast. Store it tip-up with the cap on.

The big brother of the angled drybrush pair, and the fastest way to weather a whole surface. The 43-degree cut on its hard tip means you do not have to bend your wrist to get the bristles flat on the model — Army Painter calls the cut unique in design, and in practice it is the difference between a boxcar side taking one pass or five. Rock castings, roofs, retaining walls and hopper sides all pick up grime and highlight in seconds. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features 43-degree angle cut on a hard tip — no wrist-bending to make full contact with the model. Covers whole surfaces fast: boxcar sides, roofs, retaining walls, rock castings.

How do I clean it?Rinse in cold water right after use — drybrushing dries paint into the bristles fast. Store it tip-up with the cap on.

The finest brush in the sable Wargamer range, and the one you reach for when the detail is barely there. Army Painter pitched it at painting the iris of an eye on a 28mm figure — on a layout that translates to gauge faces, marker lights, builder’s plates, and the eyes on a crew figure leaning out of a cab. A 5.0mm Rotmarder sable tip, handmade in Germany, on the 8mm triangular grip. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint.

The everyday detail brush of the sable Wargamer range — a step up in body from the Insane Detail, which makes it the one most painters actually use most.

The one-brush-for-one-model choice. Army Painter sized the Character for painting single figures — a unit champion in their world, a station master or engine crew in ours — because its 8.7mm sable tip is fine and sharp enough to highlight, but full enough to lay a base coat without constant reloading. If you paint figures one at a time rather than in batches, this is the brush that does most of the job.

The biggest of the sable Wargamer brushes and the fastest way to base coat without losing the point. Army Painter built the Regiment for speedpainting big swathes of troops — the model railroad equivalent being a bag of platform figures, a sprue of detail castings, or the interior of a structure. Its 9.9mm sable body carries a lot of paint, and the sharp tip means you are still in control at the edges. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint.

A flat, stiff brush that does two jobs a round brush cannot. Army Painter built it for highlighting the edges on tanks and drybrushing anything from scenery to vehicles — on a layout, that is the edge of a hopper rib, the lip of a bridge girder, the strata on a rock casting, or a whole retaining wall dusted down in one pass. Its stiff flat end also makes it an oversized drybrush when you need texture across a big surface. Note the brush handle itself is printed "Vehicle/Terrain" — same brush, Army Painter’s older naming. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint. Features Flat, stiff end — built for edge highlighting rather than a round point. Doubles as a large drybrush for scenery, rock castings and retaining walls. Highlights the edges of vehicles, girders, ribs and structural steel cleanly. Stiff bristles drive paint onto raised texture instead of flexing away. Signature Wargamer handle with protective cap. Works with acrylics, Speedpaints and washes in every scale.

A round brush wants to roll off. For girders, ribs, and roof edges the flat is far easier. Is this a drybrush?Not strictly, but Army Painter notes it works as an enormous drybrush — the flat stiff end is ideal for texturing scenery and large surfaces. Why does the handle say "Vehicle/Terrain"?That is Army Painter’s older printed naming. The current catalogue name is Wargamer Brush: Vehicle & Scenery — the same brush, EAN 5713799701106.

A lining brush, and a specialist one. Army Painter calls it the first of its kind made specifically for wargaming, and the name fits — it is very small and ultra precise, meant for perfect lining and minuscule detail. For model railroaders that means pinstriping, hand lettering, panel lines, and the kind of nano-precision work that a normal detail brush smears. Handmade from first-class Rothmarder sable with the famous triangular handle. Pairs with the rest of the Army Painter range — or browse our Figures & Vehicles collection for something to paint.
