Our brushes feature a wide body (AKA the “belly”) while maintaining a sharp point. This allows a Squidmar Miniatures brush to hold more paint in its bristles without losing its point, and lends it the stability and elasticity needed to make the brush feel properly responsive to your movements. Additionally, this design allows you to use a larger brush than you might have normally to accomplish even finer details! The Tobolski Kolinsky hair is compared to Synthetics well rounded and great at keeping its original shape. Giving you a longer working time during paint jobs and lasts you longer keeping the tip pristine even after working on big projects for longer times.

Squidmar Brushes - Size Comparison - Equivalent of approximately 00-2 (differs from brand to brand)

Our basic brush set contains four Squidmar Miniatures brushes, ranging from XS to L. We chose these four because we feel they represent the most common, and best suited, brush sizes for miniature painting. In addition to our basic set, however, we've also designed a tiny brush, for the finest of details, and an XL brush for heavy duty paint jobs! Armed with a full set of Squidmar Miniatures brushes, you'll be ready to take on any painting project! No wargaming army is too massive, no immaculately detailed display miniature too exquisite!

Wow, those are some cool ferrules!

Not only are the brushes wider, so are the handles! They are designed for comfort and ergonomics, adapted to the anatomy of the human hand. The handles of Squidmar Miniatures brushes are therefore thicker and slightly triangular. This allows the brush to rest naturally in your hand, which lets you relax and focus on painting without risking the dreaded “painter’s cramp”. Oh, and did we mention the fancy gold ferrule? We thought it’d look cooler that way.

Your brushes are the safest when they're guarded by an antediluvian squid-being!

Our brushes ship in a sleek cylindrical storage case. The bottom of the case is lined with a dense storage foam to stick the brushes into. This allows a Squidmar Miniatures brush to rest standing up, and avoids having any pressure placed on the bristles themselves. An open storage case additionally serves as a handy paintbrush stand while sitting at your workstation, your entire collection standing at attention! Handy, right?

Aus dem FAQ:
Q: Are your brushes the same as Da Vinci Maestro Series?
A: No, our brushes are unique. They are especially developed with Da Vinci according to Squidmar Miniature's wishes to get the best paint brushes possible.

Q: How are these different from other brushes?
A: We’ve worked to make a brush specifically made for miniature painting with high quality hair. In comparison to synthetic hair the quality of the tip and how long the brushes last is just vastly different. We feel that most quality brushes on the market have too long hair or are too thin, causing the brushes to not keep the shape enough and loose shape while applying the lightest pressure. We’ve found a fantastic ground where the brush is easy to work with, holds its shape and tip over a long time and follows the miniatures sculpts smoothly.
 
Also ich hab die Maestro und habe aber auch die Squidmar gebacked.
Zum einen ist der Griff (den Bildern nach) deutlich stärker - Maestro ist noch relativ zierlich.
Die Haare scheinen besser die Spannung zu halten wenn man aufträgt, das wird sich wohl aber noch zeigen wenn sie dann da sind.
