Thanks everyone for the replies . Simon , I can't find Creative Hobbies on Google search ? Nap I have looked at Rosemary and Co. . Some nice brushes at reasonable prices . I'll see if he would like to post some pictures of his work considering he has only been doing for a short time they are...

Done and dusted Kev . All being well I should be posting on Completed Figures later tonight (y)
