Brushes finer than GW fine detail?

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Size 00, Student level for acrylic brushes, bought from my local art shop (Room Number 9 in Leighton Buzzard). They cost a bit, but they keep their shape and bristles. They work brilliantly, keep their shape and last forever; as long as you don't forget which cannon you've just superglued! :')
Coming from Revell triangle brushes where a 00 would last me one project (100 figures) these will do 1000 or so.

Hi all I recently swapped from cheaper brushes to Winsor and Newton Series 7 and would most certainly recommend them to anyone

take care

I use GW brushes also (they're are the only ones that seem compatible with GW paint).

for finer detail I use an older brush and trim it down cutting most of the bristles off.

Yes, it is possible to "sharpen" GW brushes with a scalpel. You have to be pretty careful, though.

Again, a recent swap to Windsor and Newton Series 7 - delighted, the best brushes I have ever used by far and I've painted thumbs on 6mm with them with no problem!! I got mine from http://www.artsupplies.co.uk/brushes-w&n-series-7-miniature-sable-watercolour-brush.htm - quick and reliable service at the best prices I could find.

I use these from the Works at £1.99 a throw. Never had such good brushes for paint flow. Okay, they might not last as long as sable brushes but they last a time using acrylics which are more forgiving that oil based paints.

and these are the mutts for drybrushing at £2.99 a set.

Those are great brushes Sub, I've been using the last 3 sets for over a year and theyre pretty much finished now and have been waiting for the local Works to get them back in, but have caved in and ordered another 5 sets online plus a boxfile so I get the free postage (spend a tenner).
