What kind of brushes are those used in the video?

Very nice work, and really good result for this small scale!

A size-2 Raphael 8404 for most of it, with a size-1 Winsor & Newton Series
7 for some of the finer detail, such as the road wheels. For varnishing and
dry-brushing, I recommend just using cheap synthetics. For the pin wash I
used one of Games & Gears new double-ended sable brushes, for no really
good reason – I just like the idea of using one end for the wash, leaving
the other end clean for the tidy-up.

Thanks, I gotta look into getting better brushes.

The 57 mm gun looks funny though… like wood!

My painting is amateur at best, but I feel like I learnt a lot in general
with how to paint my figures. Thanks James!

Great video. What matt varnish did you use?

Until recently I used to use Moana, an aerosol varnish produced here in NZ,
which was the best varnish I have ever seen – totally matt with one coat.
But the company stopped making it, and I’ve been recently trying a few
alternatives without fully settling on one yet. I’ve heard Testors Dullcote
is good. Army Painter’s anti-shine matt varnish is pretty decent. And on
this particular model I used Pebeo Matt Picture Varnish. It gave a nice
finish with two light coats.
