Panel Lines and 'Inks'

Hi All,

Been reading through some of the FAQs, and seems there are some good tips to take up in the models here, and you all definitely have built some awesome looking kits.

Question for you all (Guiddy, you have good tips in this area, maybe you can answer or try this too) about Panel Lines/ Door Closures

I see a number of people normally use thinked black paint for this. Has anyone tried inks? Games Workshop, who are a Fantasy Games company, make a set of paints, and they make 'inks' for use with their figures. These are acrylic based, and come in a number of colors, so would work well with different body colors as well.

Anyone had experience with these? Anyone interested in testing them? (I'll look at them myself sometime soon)

All comments appreciated...

i've never tried what you're suggesting but im sure it will work. keep us posted on the results of your experiment. still, i think i will stick to adding a drop of black or brown or whatever to some thinner since that works just fine for me. why buy more paints when you can use what you have. my 2 cents

My familly all model, I build cars, as does my bro (1:43 resin mostly) and my Dad builds planes. We all use GW paints, they are excellent and brush on really well. I found them as I used to paint their miniatures, so I just kinda stuck with them. Their inks are very good for washes, I've used them on engines, seats and interiors, pretty much anything. I wouldn't recommend them for large coverage or bodies as they are matt/satin finish, but they do brush well and their mettalics are quite nice too (but they aren't Metalizers).
