Vallejo Pro Modeler Design Set (B01991) — Natural Hair Round Brushes Sizes 0, 1, 2

The Vallejo Pro Modeler Design Set (B01991) is a premium natural-hair round brush set for miniature painters and modellers. Three brushes covering the essential mid-range sizes for base coats, highlights, shadows, fades, washes, and glazes — the workhorse brush sizes you'll use on every miniature.

What's in the box

• 3× Vallejo Pro Modeler round brushes — natural hair
• Size 0 — base coats, mid-range detail, blending on medium surfaces
• Size 1 — workhorse brush for larger flat panels and mid-scale detail
• Size 2 — largest of the three, ideal for base coats on infantry, terrain, and larger surfaces

Why natural hair matters

Natural hair (Kolinsky-style) brushes hold significantly more paint than synthetics of the same size, release it more evenly, and hold a sharper point through prolonged use. For serious miniature painting work — particularly wet blending, glazing, and controlled edge highlights — natural hair is the professional standard.

• Flexibility — natural hair flexes and returns to shape without splaying
• Snap — sharp point recovery for detail work
• Paint reservoir — holds significantly more paint per load than synthetics
• Wear resistance — premium natural hair lasts through hundreds of miniatures with proper care

How to care for natural hair brushes

• Never leave brushes standing in water — always lay flat or hang bristle-down
• Rinse thoroughly after every session and reshape the point while damp
• Use brush soap monthly (we stock Da Vinci brush cleaner and other options)
• Never load acrylic paint above the ferrule — it will dry and permanently damage the bristles
• Store in a brush holder or roll — not loose in a toolbox

Perfect for

• Serious miniature painters working on characters, display pieces, or competition-level minis
• Warhammer 40K, Age of Sigmar, D&D, Blood Bowl, Kill Team painters
• Historical and figure painters — the natural hair works beautifully for skin tones, uniforms, and faces
• Painters upgrading from starter synthetic brushes ready to invest in real quality
• Anyone using the Vallejo Model Color or Game Color paint lines — designed to complement Vallejo's paint formulations
