Hey everyone!

Got a question for all the veterans. What size/type brush is the most effective for the following:

1. Washes
a. for figures
b. for AFV's
2. Drybrushing
a. for figures
b. for AFV's

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

1. Washes
a. for figures
b. for AFV's

I use a # one for both, since I use a "spot" wash,k i.e., placing just a bit of wash where I want it, rather than coveruing the whole subject.

I use a #2 or 3 flat for most drybrushing.
