What are Color shapers? 

Color shapers are a type of sculpting tool that is used in a variety of artistic media, including clay, epoxy putties, acrylic paint, oils, and pastels. They consist of a handle with a soft, flexible tip made of silicone or rubber. The tip can be shaped and molded to create different effects, making color shapers a versatile tool for sculpting, blending, and texturing. 

Clay and paint shapers can be used to apply and blend color, create textures, and smooth out surfaces. They are particularly useful for creating fine details and for working in tight spaces or on small projects. Some color shapers have interchangeable tips, allowing the artist to switch between different shapes and sizes as needed.

These sculpting brushes are an essential tool for model makers and wargamers that will allow you to create fine details and textures on your models and figures as well as painting and blending colors.

There are several different types of brushes available depending on the size of their tips #0, #2, and #6 and the hardness of the material that the tips are made of, and each brings you its own unique characteristics and uses.
