There's no problem getting sable brushes from Reaper, I'm told because they produce domestically, but the ones from Spain apparently require a bunch of custom import forms to be filled out.
However, I read on Wikipedia that Kolinksy sable don't come from the sable at all, but from the Siberian weasel. I wonder if this is just a category of weasel or if it means they all come from Siberia.
I tried searching the US Customs website for sable, but all I found was a Chinese guy who tried to import himself in the trunk of a Mercury Sable.

Two types of weasels
Bleh, that sucks. I like the vallejo brushes best. They're the only brush I've found that I don't have to replace after every ten or twenty miniatures.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll have to try the Reaper brushes.
