Looks like Bic is competing with Sharpies now. Brandname is "BIC Marking" I tried out a set (chisel point, fine point, ultrafine point – $3 USD ) and they seem to do the trick, but the pens feel a little flimsier.

Not much detail here – wondering what this is about? Maybe a new type of painting pen?

36x ultra-fine markers with some pretty good-looking colors… for $25 USD? Not bad … not bad at all at first glance.

@EiCB: Did you try any metallics?

Be good to hear from anyone who has tried these as a painting aid, eg drawing designs on painted shields or flags? Super fine strong pigment pens could be very useful if they can cover paint.

That's the problem, DG (oh, I titter … :-))

I must have bought dozens of the things in Japan … called Gundam Markers … utter crap, really.

These, I'd like to use for weathering.
