You do need a steady hand though, and if you're looking for a gentle transition it won't be awesome. I did it on these guys though and I like the effect. They're relatively cheap though and you can grab em at most craft/hobby stores.
Seconded. Art fine liner pens are really easy to use especially on model such as the tau where the recesses a quite deep.
I have seen the oil washing trick done to great effect and since part of it involves cleaning up where you are expected to make mistakes kind of fool proof. just remember to seal afterwards.
