Hey Folks,

I'm thinking of getting a set of paint pens for some of my edging and free-hand work.

Can anyone recommend a good (hopefully affordable) brand?

I see Sharpie makes some, are they any good at all?

Thanks,

Micron Sakura Pigma pens in size .005 should work for almost everything. Even the smallest Sharpies will be too big for modelling.

gundam markers.

Second on Micron Sakura. Available at a Michaels and Hobby Lobby near you.

I use sharpie metallic pens (gold and silver) reguarly on models and terrain and they work fine. I use the silver fine points for edge wear, etc,

I recently brought a set of sharpie colord metallics (red, greeen, etc. but I have not tried them yet on aything).
