da Vinci MICRO-NOVA 175 size 5/0 – angled synthetic micro brush, 4.5 mm fibre, 0.75 mm body. Recesses, rivets and hidden detail.

Size 5/0 of the MICRO-NOVA Series 175 is the larger of the two angled micro brushes: 4.5 mm of fibre, a 0.75 mm body and 145 mm overall. Compared with size 15/0 it has half a millimetre more fibre and a body a fifth of a millimetre thicker, so it carries more paint and pulls a line further before you need to reload.

The ferrule is bent at an angle behind the fibre. That gets you into places a straight brush cannot reach without catching another part of the model – under the hem of a cloak, behind a shoulder pad, into a cockpit or between a monster's limbs. The fibre is NOVA extra-fine gold-coloured synthetic, and the brush is vegan.

What it does on a miniature

  • Trim in recesses – Clothing edges under an arm, straps across the back, hems under a cloak. The longer fibre pulls a continuous line.
  • Rivets and bolts on vehicles – Dots of paint on rivets around hatches and inside track guards, where a straight brush will not fit.
  • Washes into deep spots – A targeted wash into the seam between parts that are already glued.
  • Stones and small details on the base – Detail between the figure's feet and under its stance, where the model itself is in the way.

5/0 or 15/0?

Size 15/0 (4.0 mm, 0.55 mm body) is for the finest dots – pupils and highlights. Size 5/0 is the more versatile one: it still handles most detail but carries more paint, so it is better for lines, trim and rivets. If you buy one angled brush, take the 5/0.

For straight work and for painting parts before assembly, reach for a straight brush of the same size – the synthetic one from the MICRO-COLINEO Set 172 or the sable MICRO-MAESTRO 100, which in size 5/0 has longer hair (5.5 mm) and holds paint the longest.

FAQ

What is an angled brush for on miniatures?
For detail you cannot reach with a straight brush on an assembled model: eyes under a helmet, kit behind a shield, vehicle interiors, recesses under a cloak. Your hand stays clear of the model, so you do not smudge finished areas.

How long is the fibre?
4.5 mm with a 0.75 mm body. The whole brush is 145 mm, 150 mm with the cap – as short as the other da Vinci micro brushes.

Can I also paint normally with it?
You can, but it is not more comfortable – the tip is off the axis of your hand. Use a straight brush for everyday work and keep the angled one at hand for places you could not otherwise reach.

How do I look after it?
After painting, wash it in lukewarm water with brush soap, shape the tip and dry it flat. Do not bend the angled ferrule – it is set at the factory and bending can loosen it.
