Kolinsky sable, 6.5 mm hair, 0.90 mm body. The finest point in Series 10 – eyes, pupils and micro detail. Made in Germany.

Size 00 is the finest size of the MAESTRO Series 10 we stock – a 0.90 mm body at the ferrule with 6.5 mm of visible hair. Made in Nuremberg from pure Siberian Tobolsky Kolinsky red sable on a short black-polished handle with a silver ferrule. Against the size 0 that is half a millimetre less hair and 0.20 mm less body – a difference you notice the moment you place a pupil on a 28 mm figure.

What it does on a miniature

  • Pupils and eye glints – The 0.90 mm body gives the finest point in the series. The white glint lands as a dot, not a blob.
  • Micro detail – Rivets, buckles, teeth, small runes and script on 28 mm figures.
  • Thin hard edges – Edge highlights on a blade or a trim edge, where a size 0 already draws too wide a line.
  • Corrections – Precise fixes after a wash pools or paint runs, without touching what is around it.

Size 00 or size 0?

The size 0 has a 1.10 mm body and 7.0 mm of hair; the 00 has 0.90 mm and 6.5 mm. A small gap on paper, a real one in use. Size 0 is the all-rounder – it does an eye and a whole face, because it carries more paint. The 00 is a specialist: less paint, so it dries out on a long line, but the point is finer and on a pupil or a glint that is what counts.

If this is your first Kolinsky brush, buy the size 0. Add the 00 as a second brush once you find the 0 is not fine enough for eyes.

To go finer still, the MICRO-MAESTRO 100 range starts where this one ends – size 10/0 carries 5.0 mm of hair on a 0.70 mm body.

FAQ

Is size 00 better than size 0 for eyes?
For the pupil and the glint, yes – the point is finer. For the whole eye including the white and the lid, the size 0 is more comfortable, because it holds more paint and will not dry out mid-stroke.

Is a brush this fine not overkill?
Not on 28–35 mm figures. A pupil at that scale is about a quarter of a millimetre, and a 0.90 mm body is exactly the difference between a dot and a smudge. At 54 mm and above a size 0 is enough.

Can a Kolinsky brush be used with acrylics?
Yes, as long as paint never dries in the ferrule. Rinse as you work and never stand the brush in water. On a brush this fine it matters twice as much – dried paint at the ferrule ruins the point immediately.

How do I make a Kolinsky brush last?
Keep paint out of the ferrule, wash with lukewarm water and brush soap (da Vinci makes one on a pure vegetable oil base), reshape the point with your fingers and dry it flat or tip-down. Never store it in water, and keep metallics and pigments off it — use synthetic for those.

Is this real Kolinsky or a blend?
Series 10 is pure Tobolsky Kolinsky – Siberian red sable from selected male winter tails, with no blended hair and no synthetic filler. Every brush is individually checked and the handle is imprinted MAESTRO TOBOLSKY-KOLINSKY 10 GERMANY.
