Global Scale Modeller

Has anyone had any experience using a sharpie or fine-tip permanent marker to do some outlining? I've been thinking of using one to highlight some of the panels... thoughts?

Thank you in advance, oh wonderful ISM guru's of modelling

anyone??

Yes! But not that brand (my only sharpie is a bit broad).

There is a tradition in Japan for using permanent or water based markers to line or even paint gundam models and I used a fine black (Copic 0.1mm) to line one I built (great fun it was too). I have access to Mrs Bob's collection of Letraset permanent Promarkers which have broad and small nibs and take adapters for extra fine and I intend using the latter to add a pattern to a part of a model figure I am currently painting (Bill Sykes in the figure GB on this forum).

A word of caution - permanent pen inks have a high level of pigmentation and are are a swine to remove from a basecoat so a steady hand is required!

Good luck.

thank you very much!!!!!
