🖌️ The Vallejo Hobby Brushes Range: Designed for Modern Scale Modeling

Mr Resin is a specialized 3D printing resin store based in Spain, with local stock, 24/48h shipping, and dedicated technical support.

The Vallejo Vallejo Hobby Brushes collection brings together nine brush families designed to cover every technique in scale modeling and miniature painting. Each brush is crafted from quality materials, combining natural hair and selected synthetic fibers for lasting durability and smooth performance. The varnished wooden handles provide a comfortable, well-balanced grip, while the seamless nickel-plated ferrules hold the bristles firmly in place and prevent splaying with repeated use. Every brush comes with a protective cap to preserve the tip and extend its lifespan. This range lets you apply base colors, highlights, textures, drybrushing, weathering effects, and fine detail work with consistent, precise control.

🎨 Brushes for effects and blending: Effects, Blender and Shader

To apply base colors, blend transitions, and create washes, the range incorporates flat brushes and brushes with specific shapes:

  • Effects – flat brushes made of soft and flexible synthetic fibers. They are ideal for applying base coats, drawing straight lines, and performing washes or wet blending gradients; their resilience also allows for applying textures and pigments. They are available in sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.
  • Blender – flat brushes with an angled cut that allow painting small areas with precision and creating transitions by using the edge to load paint and the body of the hair to soften the brushstroke. They are available in three sizes (S, M and L).
  • Shader – synthetic fiber brushes with a filbert tip, perfect for washes and filters. Their large paint-loading capacity and softness make them versatile for covering large areas and creating defined strokes; they are offered in sizes 2, 4, 6 and 8.

🌾 Texture and weathering brushes: Dry Brush, Weathering Round and Weathering Flat

For weathering effects and textures, Vallejo has developed highly durable brushes:

  • Dry Brush – made with natural hair specifically designed for applying the dry brush technique on models and terrain. Their combination of softness and durability allows you to create realistic effects and textures without damaging the model; they are available in sizes S, M, L and XLacrylicosvallejo.com.
  • Weathering Round – brushes made with robust synthetic fibers in a round shape, designed to work in difficult areas and apply effects with great precision. They are ideal for textures and pigments on vehicles, armor, or scenery. They come in different sizes to suit each task.

  • Weathering Flat – flat brushes with resistant synthetic fibers, perfect for applying pigments, washes, and aging effects on large surfaces. Their flat shape allows you to cover large areas evenly and work weathering effects such as dirt, rust, or dust quickly and in a controlled manner.

🧵 Quality and materials: natural and synthetic hair

The Hobby Brushes range combines the best of both worlds. High-quality natural hair (used in series such as Pro Modeler or Dry Brush) offers flexibility and smooth strokes, while synthetic fibers (Detail, Precision, Effects, Blender and Shader Series) provide durability, paint-loading capacity and resistance to wear. The varnished wooden handles and nickel-plated ferrules provide balance and comfort during long painting sessions. Each brush includes a protective cap to keep the tip in perfect condition.

To get started with confidence, a set of five brushes in different sizes covers most needs: small brushes are ideal for details such as eyes, gems and edges, while larger ones make base coats and smooth blending easier.

🚀 Recommended accessories and techniques

Hobby Brushes are designed for use with acrylic paints and modelling products. For best results, it is recommended to clean the brushes after each use with water and mild soap, shape the tip and place the protective cap.

  • Natural hair brushes offer greater flexibility and allow smooth, fluid strokes — ideal for blending and fine detail work. Synthetic brushes are more durable, hold their shape longer, and have excellent paint capacity; making them perfect for washes, base coating, and textures.

How to choose the right brush size?

  • Choose small sizes (10/0 to 3/0, S) for fine details like eyes, trims, and gems. Medium sizes (0–3, M) work well for slightly larger areas and controlled blending. Large sizes (4–10, L or XL) are ideal for base coating, washes, and texture effects. A five-brush set with a range of sizes covers most techniques.

Can I use these brushes with acrylic and enamel paints?
  • Yes. These brushes are designed for acrylic miniature paints, and also work with enamels or oils; in this case it is recommended to clean them with an appropriate solvent and then condition them with soap or brush conditioner.

How to extend the life of your brushes?

  • Clean your brushes after every painting session with water and Vallejo Brush Cleaner, reshape the tip and replace the protective cap to prevent damage. Avoid letting paint dry in the bristles and store them horizontally or with the tips pointing up.

What techniques can I achieve with the Vallejo Hobby Brushes range?

  • With these brush families you can apply base coats, highlights and shadows, washes, smooth blending, drybrushing, textures and weathering effects, as well as fine details and edge highlights. The variety of shapes and sizes lets you master both basic and advanced techniques with a single set.
