Abteilung 502 Round Brush 10/0 (ABT830-10/0)

This is the smallest brush in the whole range, built for exactly one job: painting things you can barely see without a loupe. Eyes, freehand lettering, the thinnest edge highlight on a blade — the 10/0 holds a needle-sharp point that lets you place a single dot of paint precisely where you want it and nowhere else.

Best for

• Painting eyes and other tiny facial details
• Freehand linework, runes and lettering
• The very finest edge highlights on 28-32mm miniatures

It's slow going and unforgiving of a shaky hand or a rushed evening, but nothing else in the range gets this close to the detail.

Synthetic bristles, holds a needle point. Once you're done with the tiniest details, a size 0 is the natural next step up — browse the full brush range.
