Product Information
Full details
The Games Workshop S Base brush is designed for hobbyists and miniature painters who need a reliable tool for basecoating. Its primary benefit is its fine point, which allows for precise application of paint in tricky areas, ensuring a clean and consistent result. A potential caveat is its specific focus on basecoating, meaning it may not be the most versatile brush for advanced detailing or drybrushing techniques.

FAQs
What is the main purpose of the S Base brush?
The S Base brush is primarily designed for basecoating miniatures, allowing for precise application of initial paint layers in detailed areas.
What kind of bristles does this brush have?
It features a blend of synthetic and sable bristles, offering good paint retention and a fine, controllable point.
Can I use this brush for fine detail work?
While its fine point is excellent for precise basecoating, it may not be the optimal choice for extremely fine detail work compared to brushes specifically designed for that purpose.
How many brushes come in a pack?
This product is a single brush sold individually (1 pc(s) per pack).
What types of paint can I use with this brush?
It is suitable for all types of acrylic model paints.
How should I clean the brush after use?
Rinse immediately with water after use. For tougher paint, use a brush cleaner or mild soap, then reshape and allow to dry.
Does the brush hold a lot of paint?
Yes, the blend of bristles is designed to hold a good amount of paint, which helps in achieving smooth, consistent coverage efficiently.
Troubleshooting
Bristles splaying or losing their point
Ensure the brush is thoroughly cleaned after each use. Avoid leaving paint to dry in the bristles. Reshape the bristles while damp and store appropriately.
Paint not applying smoothly
Check paint consistency; it may be too thick or too thin. Ensure the brush is adequately loaded with paint but not overloaded. Clean the brush if paint residue is affecting flow.
Brush feels stiff or rough
Paint residue may be dried onto the bristles. Use a dedicated brush cleaner or a mild soap solution and gently work the bristles to remove the blockage. Rinse thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Games Workshop S Base brush requires no setup; it is ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This brush is compatible with all types of acrylic model paints, including Games Workshop's Citadel range, Vallejo, Army Painter, and others. It is suitable for use on plastic, resin, or metal miniatures and models.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Immediately after use, rinse the brush thoroughly in water to remove paint. For stubborn paint, use a dedicated brush cleaner or a small amount of soap. Gently work the bristles to release the paint.
- Reshaping: After cleaning, gently reshape the bristles to their original fine point using your fingers.
- Drying: Store the brush bristles-up in a pot or lay it flat to dry. Avoid leaving the brush standing in water, as this can damage the bristles and ferrule.
- Storage: Keep the brush in a dry place, ideally in a brush case or holder to protect the bristles from damage.
