Crafted for Artists. Trusted by Modellers.


Golden Maple has earned a reputation for delivering artist-grade brushes at a price modellers love. Each brush features durable bristles, solid ferrules, and a comfortable ergonomic handle that makes long painting sessions easier.

Used worldwide by painters of figures, vehicles, fantasy miniatures, and scale models, Golden Maple brushes provide the control you need for panel lines, highlights, blending, edge work, and weathering effects.

  • Ultra-Fine Tips


    Golden Maple brushes are designed with perfectly tapered bristles that maintain their shape, even during intense detail work. This allows modellers to paint crisp panel lines, cockpit gauges, eyelashes on figures, micro-highlights, edge highlights, and delicate weathering effects with complete control. Every stroke stays predictable and precise.

  • Durable, Long-Lasting Bristles


    Each brush features high-quality synthetic fibres that resist fraying and splitting, even under heavy use. The bristles bounce back to a perfect point after cleaning, making them ideal for acrylics, inks, metallics, and varnishes. Painters who switch to Golden Maple frequently report dramatically longer brush life compared to mass-market hobby brushes.



  • Perfect for Miniatures & Scale Modelling


    Golden Maple brushes excel in tight spaces and fine-detail work, making them a favourite among miniature painters, Warhammer hobbyists, diorama builders, and scale-model cockpit detailers. Their ergonomic handles and smooth control make long painting sessions more comfortable, while the brush shapes give you the flexibility to tackle figures, armour, aircraft, vehicles, and small accessories with ease.
