Your experience w/ Paint Markers & Paint Pens - Model Railroader Magazine

I find these to be a very useful tool for painting molded-on small detail that I would never even think of trying with a regular paint brush. Most recently, it used one to paint the metal rings around the Walthers Wood Water Tank. The bands are way to narrow to have tried that with a brush but I made quick work of them with the paint pen. I used a brown one that gave a nice aged, rust look to the bands. Mostly I use the black and silver Sharpies but occasionally find use for the color ones. I especially like the black for doing wrought iron hinges.
