Brushes for static modeling.

The brushes for static models and miniatures are one of the essential elements in any decorator's work table, compatible with airbrushes to be able to paint.

They are necessary to paint with all kinds of paints. In this article we want to present the bestsellers that are most liked for this sector within the wide range that we sell.

Various aspects influence a brush, not only the type of hair, whether it is natural or synthetic, but also other factors, which we will try to explain.

Among lovers of models and modeling, the kolinsky sable natural hair brushes allow us to paint with precision on the figures.

A brush consists of several aspects, the ferrule or part of the metallic brush generally, the hair or filament and the handle.

Roubloff brushes are made in Russia with a semi-manual process.

The handle is an aesthetic aspect but if this handle is lacquered and varnished with good materials, we will be able to observe that with the passage of time and use it is impeccable, a professional likes to take great care of the materials and their importance is vital, especially When it comes to training people in these disciplines, the good image of the wearable product is always good.

The ferrule, in the different series of roubloff we can find gold and silver ferrules, the ferrule determines the thickness of the hair that is inserted and glued inside. It is very interesting and more and more to find ferrules of different sizes, not only the number,0 , 1 , 2 or 00 , but for many modelers it is very important to find the right size and carry the necessary paint with that brush , aware of it Roubloff offers us sizes such as 10/0 , 1.2 , 1.5 . , 1.7, 2, 2.5 etc, that is, we have intermediate sizes with which we can work.

Hair: Marta Kolinsky's hair is one of the most prized hairs and whose production at an international level is increasingly scarce. Why is this hair so appreciated by decorators? Marta Kolinsky's hair offers some characteristics that other hairs do not have, among them we highlight the following, if we looked at a hair of a Kolinsky marta under a microscope we could appreciate its scales, in the hair, these scales collect water, pigment and paints and for the pressure effect discharges it on the surface.

The sable hair also has flexibility with optimal elasticity for painting in these techniques or others such as watercolor, the brush wet or impregnated with paint is sharp and when working it remains sharp and pointed due to its firmness. Unlike many synthetic brushes in which water can slip through its fibers or low quality synthetics that with little use we see that it stands out.

Indeed, the kolinsky sable hair, if we compare it with other natural hairs, offers us different benefits and for this reason they are appreciated by artists in their different modalities.

Like all animal hair, like humans, we can have different kinds of hair, not all of them are the same and only experts know how to differentiate between extremely good quality and good quality.

Continuing with this, the manufacturer Roubloff selects in its assembly and manufacturing process the best Marta kolinsky hairs to assemble its:
