Has anybody used them successfully with Acrylic Paints for adding small details and straps on miniatures? If so – any lessons learned? |

Yeah I have and still do. Some things I've noticed /learned are: 1. The ink drys with a bluish tint that is noticeable under very bright light otherwise not a big deal. 2. I always keep paper on hand to draw on to get the ink to flow, it seems to dry up after a little bit. Not sure if it is the pen or operator error. 3. The finer the point the better the results, especially for panel lines 4. Mistakes will need to be touched up with paint. Number 2 is the only big issue/problem that I've ever had and it's really only a very minor irritation. |

I have used them on mecha miniatures for panel lines with great results. Be really careful with the super-fine tips, they are extremely easy to bend. Also, artist stores sell different colors of India-Ink (I think that's the term) that you can use to great effect. |
