AMMO MIG Collection Brushes Conical Ø3

The conical AMMO MIG Collection brush in size 3

A brush from the Collection Brushes range by AMMO of Mig Jimenez. A conical shape means that the head narrows smoothly into a point: in a single tool you thus have a body for covering a larger part and a tip for finishing a detail, without having to reach for a second brush. The number 3 marks the size within this range and belongs among its larger ones.

What it is suited to

• base coats on smaller parts and on figures
• smooth transitions and shading, where more paint has to be carried
• laying paint over an area with the edge finished straight away by the tip
• work on larger assemblies where a thin brush is needlessly slow
• laying paint on surfaces that are hard to reach with an airbrush

Making it last

What ruins a brush fastest is paint that dries at the root of the head by the metal ferrule. So dip only the front part of the hair and never its whole length. After work wash the brush out while the paint is fresh, draw the tip into shape with your fingers and let it dry lying flat or point upward, never standing on its point in a container. For mixing paint, for fillers and for aggressive chemicals use a different, sacrificial brush.

Who it suits

For modelers who paint with a brush and want one tool that handles both an area and a detail, and for figure painters who like a larger reservoir of paint in the head.

Store the brush so that nothing presses on the point, otherwise the head will be deformed for good.
