@woldenspoons The repair stuff wasn’t painful for cost. The price was a bit higher for me because I’m in the US and it was at a store but the link I added shows it to be just about €4. I’ve been inspired to just purchase lower cost taklon/nylon brushes for basecoating and then switch to the higher end stuff for detailing. I had a DVD from Darksword Miniatures that showed Marike Reimer working beautifully and how she just blends using cheap material and the work of Sam Lenz is regularly shown on YouTube through Tabletop Minions in the same fashion. Breaking cheap brushes isn’t bad as long as they can get an extended life as stipling/pigment brushes. The Kolinsky sables require a bit more love.

@robert I’ve used Master’s brush soap for the longest time and in the size I link to it will be good for some time depending on how often you paint/clean the brushes. I’ve also seen Jentastic Drunken Brush Goop which I’m curious about but wonder about the size of the tin and its effectiveness. I’ll pick some up and give a report after I settle into the new place.

Here’s a really good video from Slow Fuse that takes on the JDBG and talks quite a bit more in detail than I care to write about.

@limburger A happy ending to horror films? That is a relative term indeed. I’d say that you’d need to watch Feast and Krampus (my favorite Giftmas movie) to evaluate how that might be defined.
