Fantastic brush bundle, best on Amazon!
Best Paint brush set on Amazon for the price. I use this all the time. Great offering, great selection of tips, and feels fantastic in the hand. Will be adding several more cases to have on hand in my studio. I use these all the time. Best brush deal on Amazon. Can not go wrong with these.

Great value, really nice brushes! I was amazed to see this quality for the price.
Was dubious about the quality at 1st. The price just seemed too low. But these are just a great value! I use them for painting miniatures. I use them with enamel paints and turpentine for thinner. The round brushes paint beautiful lines, the flat brushes are great for large areas and dry brushing. Even the ones I use for dry brushing hold up well. I clean them w appropriate thinner then wash them with bar soap and finally wipe them on the soap to point and dress them while they hang dry. Have been usuing the same 3 brushes for a couple months now with no loss of bristles or rusting ferrels.

Not bad for miniatures
I use these as my bread and butter brushes for dry brushing or applying base coats. The brushes maintain their integrity (no broken or stray bristles) and are good value.However for detailed work (edge highlighting, faces, etc.) I find that they don't hold enough paint. It's super annoying trying to paint a super thin line and having to break off to refill the brush.Edit: I forgot to add that this set being synthetic are subject to the dreaded hooked tip which may or may not be fixed by dipping in really hot water. I'm not downgrading them because of it though because all synthetics get the hooked tip.My opinions on brushes used commonly for more detailed work or painting in the 'Eavy Metal style of a million edge highlights:* Windsor & Newton Series 7: I prefer the regular long bristles versus their miniature line which has a shorter more triangular bristle shape; the miniature line doesn't hold as much paint and you really need to thin the paint to get it to flow. One of the few pros that do like the miniature W&N is "The Infernal Brush" who was a 'Eavy Metal painter for 9 years and won two Golden Demons. So it's clearly down to personal preference if you like the regular or miniature lines. They hold a tip well and I consider these the standard to judge other brushes by. Be aware that their quality control is "iffy" and you can get brushes that immediately start splaying.Verdict: recommended as a good starting point for Kolinsky brushes. Then try other brushes to see if you like them more.* DaVinci Series 35: A slightly cheaper option than the W&N (at this time), holds a tip just as good as the W&N and holds more paint. I like the spring in the bristles. My FAVORITE brush hands down for 'Eavy Metal style painting. These guys do have long bristles though so sometimes for tight spaces or awkward angles, you'll have to use a different brush brand.Verdict: highly recommended.* I finally got a hold of Raphael 8404 size 1 brushes. Eh. Not bad. I like that the belly is big but the bristles aren't that springy. I find it takes more effort for it to hold a tip - too little paint and the paint won't flow and too much paint and the brush will splay a bit. I keep trying to use it for edge highlighting and it's just too much of a pain in the butt for that purpose. I'd say great for base coating or doing things like cloaks and the like. Emil from Squidmar Miniatures likes these for what it's worth.Verdict: eh.* Michigan Toy Soldier: yes, you read that right. A company out of, well, Michigan who specializes in miniature hobby stuff. They have their own Kolinsky brush line which I think might be rebranded Rosemary Co. but I'm not entirely sure. What I do know is that for about 12 bucks a brush, these are an insanely good value. I actually like them slightly more than the Winsor & Newtons. I'll use these for edge highlighting when I feel the bristles of the DaVinci are too long for certain edges.Verdict: highly recommended. My second favorite brush.* Monument Hobbies: these are sable brushes (not Kolinsky) roughly the same price as the Michigan Toy Soldier ones and recommended by Ninjon. These hold a tip as well as the W&N Series 7 but their brush sizes are really wonky. I got a size 1 and it's really a small brush; their size 1 is like a size 0 from DaVinci. Also they don't hold paint all that well compared to the DaVinci size 0. I kind of want to buy their size 2 just to see if it's closer in size to a typical size 1 brush and THEN judge how these brushes are.Verdict: inconclusive. I can't use their size 1 brush as a "workhorse" since it's just too small for that. I plan on using it as I would a size 0 from other brands.Although this synthetic set is no longer used much by me (mostly used for base coating large areas of a miniature and applying primer or varnishes, etc.), it's still a great set for beginners who aren't sure they will stick with the miniature painting hobby.

Highly recommend
I have been using these nonstop since I got them for fine detail painting with acrylic paints. They are holding their shape and I have much better control when painting. It’s made a night and day difference. Make sure you clean them often, I dip them in water and wipe with a towel in between colors, this keeps them in good condition and keeps dried paint from building up which ultimately can lead to the bristles splitting.

Great for miniatures and crafts
These brushes are perfect! I have been trying to do some custom dolls and figures and it's so hard to get into the little cracks and keep the tiny lines and details perfect. These brushes work so well with tiny details! There are 15 different brushes and they have different tips for different needs. I love the curved tip because it's so much easier to good at an angle that's comfortable without having to touch the figure and smear paint that I've already done. The bristles are very soft while still being firm enough to work very well for what I'm using them for. The handles are thick and comfortable to hold and they're easy to hold onto.
