A dry brush of natural hair in the largest size offered. The short blunt hair is intended for drybrushing, that is, for drawing out edges and structures with almost dry paint over large areas of relief.
Responsibility details are not available.
A dry brush has no point but short, dense hair trimmed to a blunt end. A minimum of paint is taken up on it and the rest is wiped off into paper, so on a model it clings only to the protruding edges. The Extra Large size covers this technique over the largest area the brand offers in the range: tracks, hulls, corrugated sheet metal, stone bases and larger terrain.
Drybrushing is the hardest technique of all on a tool. The hair rubs against a casting dry and gradually shortens and spreads, so even a carefully maintained piece ages sooner than a brush for detail. Natural hair, though, holds the shape of the bundle longer than soft synthetics and will take repeated wiping into a rag. How many models it will manage depends mainly on the roughness of the surfaces it moves over.
The dry brush technique is also used on plaster casts, ceramics, wood carvings, artistic reliefs or theatrical props. Everywhere there it is about the same thing: to accentuate a structure without the paint running into the hollows. The procedure is quick besides, so a sizable relief tends to be finished within a single sitting and the application does not have time to dry unevenly.
What is decisive is not letting the remains dry at the root of the hair. After finishing the work it is rinsed with lukewarm water and the surplus is soaked up into a paper towel. Stored dry and flat it will last a long time, because natural hair does not suffer from storage but from friction.
