About Us

As a small UK business, we're proud to help every hobbyist paint their best. Founded in 2018, ABCbrushes was born from a blend of traditional art, painting wargames models and scale modelling. We've set out to carry reliable, high-quality brushes without the premium price. We began by working with trusted UK brush makers and guided by our close community of modellers that have helped shape who we are today.

Passion for painting

Coming from a more traditional artistic background before falling in love with wargaming and scale modelling, we found that specialist model brushes were generally of quite poor quality, while the better quality artist brushes were far too expensive. Determined to bridge the gap, we started by working with a couple of local brush makers in the UK. This was initially sourcing factory seconds and other affordable ranges and selling them through ebay. 

As business grew, and other modellers saw what we were doing, we decided it was time to take the plunge and enquire about some well known trade shows. Our brushes were so well received that, before long, we were travelling the country attending scale model, wargaming and train model shows. 

This has since grown and allowed us to offer higher quality brushes, like Kolinsky sable and a new style rounded dry bush, and even branch out and create our own ranges!

Collaborating with our community

Most exciting of all, we've recently been collaborating directly with our community of modellers, built up from years of meeting face-to-face through doing shows, to create their own collections of brushes, perfectly suited to their style of modelling. The creation of these signature sets allows us to evolve and keeps us connected to the hobby we love
