Paintbrushes for Modellers & Miniature Painters

Hawk Miniatures makes paintbrushes for modellers who care about the finish — from premium natural Kolinsky sable brushes to affordable synthetic ranges, all suited to oils, acrylics and enamels. Whether you’re lining a uniform, blending a bust or basecoating a gaming army, there’s a brush and a size for the job.

Kolinsky sable brushes

Our natural sable lines give you a fine point, a full belly and reliable spring: choose round brushes for detail and basecoating, flat brushes for broad, even coverage, or angled liner brushes for precise linework. Available singly and in curated sets.

Gaming, micro & dry brushes

For wargamers and hobbyists, we offer gaming & micro brushes with polished walnut handles and a sable/synthetic blend, plus dedicated dry brushes for texture and highlighting.

Synthetic Vernissage range
