Hawk Miniatures makes paintbrushes for modellers who care about the finish — from premium natural Kolinsky sable brushes to affordable synthetic ranges, all suited to oils, acrylics and enamels. Whether you’re lining a uniform, blending a bust or basecoating a gaming army, there’s a brush and a size for the job.
Kolinsky sable brushes
Our natural sable lines give you a fine point, a full belly and reliable spring: choose round brushes for detail and basecoating, flat brushes for broad, even coverage, or angled liner brushes for precise linework. Available singly and in curated sets.
Gaming, micro & dry brushes
For wargamers and hobbyists, we offer gaming & micro brushes with polished walnut handles and a sable/synthetic blend, plus dedicated dry brushes for texture and highlighting.
Synthetic Vernissage range
Prefer synthetic? The Vernissage line offers Kolinsky-imitation filament brushes with excellent colour hold at a budget-friendly price.
A curated everyday kit: the Alex Paints Essentials set gathers 4 round Kolinsky sable paintbrushes in sizes 3, 2, 1 and 0 — the core sizes that cover the vast majority of miniature and bust painting, from laying in colour to fine detail. Developed in association with painter Alex Paints, it’s a tidy, no-fuss selection for painters who want the sizes that matter and nothing they don’t.
The set comes in a biodegradable packet with protective covers for the hairs. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, designed for modellers by modellers.
The Essentials, upgraded: the Alex Paints Essentials Deluxe set pairs the same core selection of 4 round Kolinsky sable brushes (sizes 3, 2, 1 and 0) with ergonomic walnut handles for extra comfort and balance during long painting sessions. It’s the curated everyday kit for painters who want a premium feel in the hand.
The set comes in a biodegradable packet with protective covers for the hairs. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, designed for modellers by modellers.
The specialist that earns its place: our angular liner Kolinsky sable paintbrushes have an angled chisel tip that gives you controlled straight lines, clean edges and easy access into recesses and along panel lines. It’s the brush for freehand borders, straps, piping and any job where a steady, precise stroke matters.
Available in sizes 0, 1, 2 and 4, in natural Kolinsky sable. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, and designed for modellers by modellers.

Size 0 is for the finest angled lines and edges; 1 and 2 are the general-purpose angular liners; 4 lays down broader angled strokes. Prefer a set? See the mixed angular sable set, browse all our angled & liner brushes, or explore the full Hawk paintbrush range.

Every dry-brush shape you need in one pack: this set of 3 synthetic dry brushes contains a Flat Oval, a Round Oval and a Deerfoot — the three heads that between them cover broad highlighting, softer organic textures and stippled raised detail. Ideal for chainmail, fur, stonework, terrain and weathered metals.
The set comes in a cellophane packet. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, designed for modellers by modellers.
For crisp edges and controlled coverage: our flat Kolinsky sable paintbrushes give you a sharp chisel edge that’s perfect for edge highlighting, blending across larger surfaces and blocking in clean, straight strokes. Natural Kolinsky sable keeps a tidy edge while carrying plenty of paint, so armour plates, blades, panels and cloth come up smoothly.
Pick your size from 00, 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4. Suitable for oils, acrylics and enamels, and designed for modellers by modellers.
Which size?
The 00 and 0 flats are for fine edge highlights and small crisp lines; 1 and 2 for edge-lighting armour and weapons; 3 and 4 for base coating and blending broader areas.
