Hello Does anyone know of a source for paint markers with a very fine tip that can be used for 15mm figure straps. I think 0.5 would be nice. Rotring, AK paintmarkers posci … Also can be varnished without adverse effects. I believe this would be useful for many horse and musket type uniforms. Thanks martin |

I've spent a lot of time looking for small white pens like that, but no luck. Still, I have hope and will check in to see how this thread goes. Grelber |

Indeed, some colours of fine pens are incredibly hard to find, I feel your pain!!! |

I picked up some white Gelly Roll pens from Amazon to do road markings on some modern German bases of buildings. They came in a packet of 3, 0.3mm, 0.4mm, and 0.5mm. I was able to varnish the road markings using Coat D' Arms matt varnish. However I do not know if they would be any good on figures. |

I use Posca paint pens for loads of things, excellent coverage and a decent range of colours. All of mine have fine tips, apart from the gold and silver ones. |

I purchased these gel pens back in November to test out. I use them mainly to hand write numbers or letters on Battletech mechs. I have the .6mm. They seem to work okay, but I use them on unsealed paint, it has a better attachment surface. a.co/d/02VRANLR R, Jim |
