I mean... why not!? At about the same price as a 37 ml tube of Winsor and Newton, it's not a bad idea. How much paint is in these tubes, by the way?
Will the whole brush handle be smeared with paint? It seems to go down to the bottom of a normally full paint container with only the "whatever-it-is" part below the cap that would remove the paint from the handle when pulled out.

Why not? And probably weathering lipstick is in the pipeline.
I'd better go to see where my high heel shoes are

I use eye shadow foam brushes to clean My washes up. Plus there are only 3$ ish depending on your Converison So If you were On the fence about the wacky world of Oil weathering There a really good starting point.

I really don't see anything wrong with them... there are a lot of beginners in the hobby looking into buying oils for weathering.. plus some decent brushes to go with them.. so why not these? I for one was thinking of ordering a bunch of oil colors and brushes.. but I might as well wait and look into these... I think the problem is that some people who already have oil paints and brushes and are already set in their ways somehow think that somebody is telling them to throw away everything they have and buy these... which is not the case 
Nothing wrong with having something to please everybody.. without being made fun of
Of course, now I'll probably end up being ridiculed for saying that I might buy some

I like Ammo, but don't see an use in these. I buy Abeitlung and cheap oils from Walmart.
I have found a lot of modellers are buying cheap set from Walmart or other discount store. They can get a box of 20 oil colors for about $15.

Can we "maybe" just say that everybody is free to do whatever he or she wants without being ridiculed for it? I'm not against giving advice... it's just the part where people start making fun of others (or what others use) because they do things differently
Sorry, it's just that where I live this is a very sore subject in general - being able to do things differently without being ridiculed for it
No more on the subject

You'll still need the brushes Hisham, if you watch the video the cap brush is only used for application, then a normal brush is used to blend them in.

I dont scrap my old-stile oils tube for that novelty but is not a bad idea if you use Oils just for some effect,is bit pricey but ready and easy to use,i dont really see pait a whole 54mm or 75mm figure with that ,perhaps also prepare your own shade can be not so easy like with tube?...

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding Ammo. As the logo clearly says Ammo by Mig why does everyone start their threads Ammo of Mig? I couldn't resist asking.

I do not understand how you can sell this as a revolution of modeling, it seems just ridiculous.
oil and a brush is new ???.
I like modeller I only care about the value and quality of what I buy, and 10 ml of dilute oil with a synthetic brush of dubious quality to withstand years immersed in solvent (it is virtually impossible not dry soon, and we know ). In the demo video manufacturer looked like a different brush is used for the purpose, and retired to criticism that scene.
Lots of doubts.
Do I want a brush that does not prevent me having to buy other ?.
A quality oil tube demonstrated another brand like Titan, or Abteilung costs between 3.50-4 euros for 20 ml of undissolved product. The Anmo costs of 2.75 euros and brings dissolved in 10 ml is not known what proportion, is at least three times more expensive, that if we are lucky enough not to dry before finishing.
As an investment for the modeller is very bad, but as a business is great if it works.
