Citadel Synthetic Small Dry Brush - Precision Highlighting Tool for Miniature Painters
The Citadel Synthetic Small Dry Brush is a specialized painting tool designed by Games Workshop, the creators of Warhammer, to help miniature enthusiasts achieve professional-quality highlighting effects on fine details with exceptional precision. This instrument features a perfectly balanced black handle with the distinct Citadel branding and a carefully crafted head of premium synthetic bristles specifically engineered for the dry brushing technique on smaller surfaces and intricate details.
Measuring approximately 7 inches in length, this small-sized dry brush provides maximum control and precision for detailed work. The bristles are precisely cut to a flat, slightly splayed profile that holds just the right amount of paint for effective dry brushing on fine details. The compact brush head is sized specifically for targeted application on small areas, delicate features, and intricate model elements where larger brushes would be too cumbersome.
The defining characteristic of this brush is its exceptional synthetic bristle construction. The synthetic fibers are engineered for consistent performance and durability, offering superior shape retention compared to natural bristles. These synthetic bristles are specifically designed for the dry brushing technique, where most of the paint is wiped off before application. The bristles maintain their precise shape through repeated use and cleaning, ensuring consistent performance for countless detailed painting sessions. The small size and controlled stiffness of the synthetic bristles allow them to catch on the finest raised details while leaving recesses untouched, creating subtle highlighting effects that add depth and dimension to your smallest model features.
The ergonomic black handle features the Citadel logo and product information, making it easily identifiable in your painting toolkit. The balanced weight distribution provides excellent control during precision work, allowing you to maintain steady application even when working on the most delicate details for extended periods.
This brush excels at creating realistic highlighting effects on small details, fine edges, and intricate model features. It's particularly effective for:

Adding precise metallic highlights to weapon details and armor trim
Highlighting small facial features and character details
Creating texture effects on small fabric elements and accessories
Detailing jewelry, buckles, and small ornamental features
Adding subtle highlights to small terrain elements and scenic details
Precision weathering on fine model components

The Citadel Synthetic Small Dry Brush is an indispensable tool for painters who demand precision in their detail work. For beginners, it offers a controlled way to add dimension to small features without requiring advanced techniques. For experienced painters, it provides the precision control needed for sophisticated highlighting effects on the most intricate model elements.
Compatible with all acrylic model paints, this brush works exceptionally well with Citadel's comprehensive paint range, particularly when paired with their specialized Dry compounds and metallic paints designed for precision highlighting work.
Maintain your brush's performance by cleaning thoroughly after each use with brush soap and reshaping the bristles while damp. The synthetic construction ensures long-lasting performance and consistent results. With proper care, your Citadel Synthetic Small Dry Brush will remain a reliable companion through countless detailed painting projects.
