The Hammer Synthetic Brush (AKB019) is a powerful tool from AK’s Effects & Details series, designed for modelers and diorama enthusiasts who want to create rugged textures and weathering effects. With its compact, rounded shape, this brush is perfect for techniques such as stippling, drybrushing, and creating natural textures like rocks, mud, and worn surfaces.
Easily identifiable by the gray tip on the handle, this brush stands out in any collection. The sturdy synthetic bristles have been carefully selected to provide high resistance to intensive use without losing their shape. This makes it ideal for techniques that require rough, irregular paint application.
The Hammer Synthetic Brush excels at creating realistic weathering effects, such as mud splatters on vehicles, gritty rust textures, and dust layers on terrain models. Thanks to its firm bristles, you can dab and scrub paint to achieve a controlled yet random texture—essential for achieving a natural-looking effect.
Additionally, this brush is perfect for working with thick paints, pigments, and dry powders. It can be used to add relief to dioramas, highlight grass and stone textures, and apply heavy drybrushing techniques to large surfaces.
Compatible with both acrylic and enamel paints, this brush maintains its shape even with frequent use and cleaning. Whether you're a beginner experimenting with textures or an experienced modeler looking to refine your weathering effects, the Hammer Synthetic Brush is an indispensable tool for every model maker.
