Michael's and their coupons are you friend. I always find useful stuff (wood bases, markers, wire types, etc). Markers of all types, also dont forget artist pencils.

My local Michaels store has these. I have used them on models for touch up and they work well.

Chrisk-K, Did you purchase them on-line or locally?

I have received Sharpie Oil-Based Markers. I love them! They make touch-ups and detail painting a BREEZE. The results are just like oil paints applied with a fine-tip brush.

Some Gundam Markers have fine tips and then some have extra fine (aka ball point size) My fiancé uses Gundam markers for her Gundams and I occasionally steal them for doing windows on my 1/700 scale ships, I recently bought some Sharpie oil based markers for deck lines that are fine point as well.

Oh man! I am so buying a few of those!

Those pens should work well for eyeballs and lips on 1/35 figures and tiny pieces on 1/35 armor and 1/48 aircraft. They are nothing but oil paints in a pen configuration.

Interesting. I wonder how those would work for eyeballs on 1/35 figures?

I've found an answer. Sharpie oil-based fine markers. They are completely different from regular Sharpies and won't bleed through a top coat just like oil paints.

Does the Gundam marker use enamels?

I'm not sure. I did search high and low for them a while back. I couldn't find any enamel. I was looking for white, in particular. How about cutting down the Testors or Tamiya tips to 'fine'?
