I agree with darththomas81 toothpicks, pins, needles, or anything with a hard, fine point, work great for small detail work.

I just wash my brushes with water, but I do so immediately after I finish painting. I use regular cheap old brushes you can find a nice bag of assorted sizes/types in Wal-Mart for around $5.

I often use tooth picks or pins to add small detail such as eyes. They don't bend like paint brushes so you can be more accurate with them. Also I use games workshop paints and just use water to wash them.

if you go to your local art/craft supply store you should be able to find a nice assortment of brushes for cheap. most have a use of some sort. also if you use testors paint (best paint in my opinion) then wash the brushes with paint thinner.
