Paint Brushes

    I took a good long look at my brushes recently, and they're in a sorry state, so I need new ones to be able to paint my lovely dwarves.

    I've never been a fan of GW's own series of brushes as they tend to become rather flossy (although I must admit I use the Drybrushes, haven't found a suitable replacement for them yet).

    So, where in Ireland (preferably in Cork) is it possible to get decent brushes? I know all about the Winsor Newton ones being really good, but the prices are out of the range I want to pay for paint brushes.

    Any ideas would be appreciated. :)

    Easons? I got some decent brushes there awhile ago, about 2 or 3 euro each. Although I've only really used one of them for painting mini's while I use a GW medium brush for tanks and large flat surfaces. It think it was one of the winsor newton brushes, had a redish handle anyway, are you planning on buying a whole set?

    I went to Eason and bought a few of their Master Arts brushes as well as one of the more expensive Dalon 77 ones and after experimenting a bit with them, I've found that they're quite good. However, they do seem to be missing a size somewhere, akin to the Standard Brush and Detail brush of Games Workshop. The quality is good though, so I will probably keep using these for some time, then experiment a bit more once I've (ab)used these to their full extent.
    They do have a good selection of other brands however, so there's plenty of choice between different brands and types of brushes. Their sable brushes seem quite good actually, but they're quite expensive.
