Super duper pleasantly surprised!! Brush tips all arrived well protected, actually each brush was sealed in its own plastic bags. No stray hair stuck outside of the protective cap. Once wet, good points for the round brushes, and no loose hair onto the paper while painting. Case is very handy, and good for travels. Thinking about getting another set. Thank you!Great brushes. Lots of different shapes. Very sturdy. Paint does not flake off the handles. Brush hairs don’t come off in your painting. I’m hard on my brushes. I tend to forget I’m soaking them overnight. No problem. They keep their shape.Great starter kit, good value, plenty of brush choiceFine detail for painting miniatures? I don’t think so, unless by miniature they mean life sized. Other than that, these look like very nice brushes for painting LARGER things, but not miniatures.The blue pen is very pretty, I really like them! They're soft and easy to clean. They didn't shed at all while cleaning or using, and the bristles are resistant to warping. I've used them with both acrylic and water color paint, and they work great with both. good product!Great productA nice painting starter set. I bought them because the description Said for fine detail work for models etc.About half of them are detail brush. The other half are too large. A more apt description would be “ a good starter set of small to medium brushes for detail and other small projects .Good quality. Nice variety.
