Brews, finally going to buy supplies. Will oink what I will get off Amazon shortly.

The miniature paintbrush set off Amazon a lot of you said sucked. Thoughts on these?

I use like 4 brushes, a Windsor and Newton cottman 2, 0, 000 and a makeup brush for dry brushing. Imo that set is a waste of money. Also get some cheap or used up brushes for large section washing.

This is the best “cheap brush” set I’ve used. Good for when your kid wants to paint,. The flat brushes from it are actually, I use them for finer dry brushing.

I’d recommend plain old Krazy glue for miniatures, in the small bottles instead of that adhesive you have there. Minis are very small and the krazy glue applicator is very fine Instead of that giant tube.


Also, a heating pad for your sore back bending over a table all day.

Oh look up “nail polish rack” on Amazon too. There’s a couple style of clear acrylic models that are perfect for holding your paint bottles and very cheap compared to the hobby specific ones you can buy.

WIP, from one of the D&D board games. Thought the sculpts would be a little better but can’t beat the price per mini. 18th and 19th mini I’ve worked on.

What you looking for? You looking at just random minis to paint? Painting a full board game? Painting realistic penis sculptures?

Miniature Market - Board Games, Magic The Gathering, Table Top Games, Dungeons & Dragons, Role Playing Games | Miniature Market is good one for a ton of stuff, miniatures or board games.

Hero Forge Custom Miniatures if you want custom minis for stuff like d&d campaigns.

Reaper Miniatures for a huge variety of single miniatures.
