Any suggestions for what works? Successes?

Specifically looking at belts, webbing and other smaller details

Thanks

I got mine from Amazon. As long as they have a brush tip that is 1-5mm it should work fine. Get acrylic ink paint pens. I have bought multiple sets and all are good. Outstanding for painting belts, wheels, speartips, about anything unless it's hard to reach. I normally prime in the primary color and finish with paint pains playing a big part. Hobby paint pens are just too expensive. My Vallejo contrast ones worked well. But their is VERY little actual ink/paint in it.

Thanks.
