Had a similar experience. Glad to see someone paint the whole tank. I just did the camo and tracks. Felt very good to use and was lightning fast. Cheers!

Awesome stuff Alex! Thanks for doing this. I also bought the LED magnifying glasses you recommend. They also work awesome. Have a great day Brother and thanks for everything you do!

I have to say that every video I've seen has impressed with these. What persuaded me to order a set is the range of colours. I think they will be really useful, particularly aircraft interiors and detail parts.

I bought the whole set and agree - they work great. I am painting 6mm GHQ vehicles and I wish the points were a little finer, but overall impressed.

Thanks for the review. It looks to me like base coating will still be better done with a rattle can or airbrush.

@theenigmaticgamer 20 күн бұрын
Thanks for a really useful review. They look as though they will be really useful for camo schemes on larger vehicles as an alternative to an airbrush and so save having to mask up. Do you think they would work with cross belts and facings on 28mm Napoleonics?
@StormofSteelWargaming 20 күн бұрын
Cheers, glad it was helpful. I think they are definitely designed with larger scale modelling in mind, but I think they'd work on 28mm crossbelts. Anything smaller may be a struggle though.

Thx for the review. I think anything that speeds up painting is good. 👍🏻 The greater control with pens definitely allows you to do interesting things. 🤔

Alex, how would you rate the control the user has over the flow/amount of paint being released by the pens? And, if there is no control, how would you characterize the flow/amount released? I guess I should have reversed these questions. 🙂
@StormofSteelWargaming 21 күн бұрын
There's a quite a lot of control, tbh, like any pen really.

@seanmudge7546 21 күн бұрын
question, do yo think they would be precise enough to use on 10MM napoleonics for picking out straps and leather bits, or are the ends too thick for such fine detail?
@StormofSteelWargaming 21 күн бұрын
Answer, they might be a bit thick for 10mm stuff tbh.

Seems kind of pointless, but I guess if you don't want to use a brush or can't for some physical reason they work. Interested in seeing more of the chipping effect on armor.
