Pro-Series “Baby Vader” #3 Detail Brush

Von Dago Pro-Series “Baby Vader” #3 – Professional Detail Brush

Created by Von Dago—a 50+ year veteran, multiple Hall of Fame–inducted pinstriper, and respected master of custom painting—the Pro-Series “Baby Vader” #3 Detail Brush offers a slightly bolder, more expressive stroke while maintaining the finesse and responsiveness artists expect from the Baby Vader line. Built in collaboration with the Andrew Mack Brush Company, this brush is 100% handmade in the USA using imported European blue squirrel hair, giving artists the smooth flow and reliable control needed for detailed work on any surface.

Precision, Flow & Versatility

The Baby Vader #3 features a 1-1/4" hair length from the ferrule, delivering a beautifully balanced mix of flexibility and stability. This makes it a favorite for medium-weight outlines, scrolls, decorative strokes, and character-style detailing. The urethane-coated mid-length handle adds comfort and durability, giving the brush a confident, steady feel during long sessions.

Why Artists Choose the Baby Vader #3

Handcrafted one at a time in the USA, each brush offers dependable performance without any break-in period. Artists rely on its ability to handle crisp edges, smooth curves, and expressive strokes with ease. Originally designed by Von Dago for his own professional work, the Baby Vader #3 provides a level of balance and predictability that appeals to both seasoned painters and beginners looking for a reliable detail brush.
