Our own brand Kolinsky sable for miniature detail. Handpicked quality, honest value.
The Hobby Heaven Series 1 is our own brand Kolinsky sable brush designed for miniature detail work. We developed this range because we wanted to offer genuine Kolinsky quality at an honest price — brushes we are happy to recommend to our customers because we selected the hair, tested the prototypes, and use them ourselves.
Series 1 is our detail-focused line, with proportions and sizing optimised for miniature painting at 28-32mm scale. The Kolinsky sable provides excellent point retention and controlled flow for painting eyes, highlights, fine freehand, and all the detail work that makes painted miniatures come alive. Handpicked quality, tested by miniature painters, sold at honest prices.

How we measure a brushA visual guide to the measurements shown in the size chart above.
These are the same measurements shown in the size chart above. Brush sizes are not standardised across brands, so use these dimensions when comparing brushes within a series or between manufacturers.
Tuft Length
The visible length of the brush hairs, measured from the ferrule to the tip.
Belly Diameter
The widest point of the brush head. On round brushes, this is the widest part of the belly.
Total Length
The full measurement from the tip of the brush to the end of the handle.
How to care for your brush
Same care as any Kolinsky sable: rinse after use, clean with brush soap, reshape, store protected. We recommend Masters brush soap for conditioning. Proper care gives years of reliable performance.

Perfect beginner’s set!
Nice wide usable size set of brushes that should cover you for most miniature situations, relatively cheap/affordable for a beginner or someone who is new to natural brushes, brushes themselves hold paint well and forms a nice sharp tip relatively easily, easy to clean and the highlight for me is the handle design/size! Short enough to be wieldy for minis and nice curve for a comfortable ergonomic hold, would recommend!
