[@MiniatureGameMontage]

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!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, yes they are very easy and nice to use.

[@basement1908]

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!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers buddy! I'm glad the glasses are working out for you!

[@jasonrucker4722]

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.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

They would be good for 6mm tanks, I bet!

[@modelskunkworks]

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.

[@paulparker5456]

Thanks Alex - I can’t wait until I get some myself 😊

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, they are very good.

[@samb2052]

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

[@MuseBlinkGreenDay]

Definitely will get their full set. Will hopefully make smashing out my Naps a lot quicker

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

You should they are a good buy.

[@totalburnout5424]

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. 🤔

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Totally agree!

[@giancarlopaolini7529]

I was just wondering whether they were any good ....well, I've now got the answer and I'll give it a try soon 🙂

[@MrElliptific]

Nah. I think I have more control and go faster with cans and brushes. I can pick the colours and mix the way I prefer. Thanks for the review.

[@theDexMcHenry]

That looked dead easy to do the camo pattern. I may have to give them a try.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

It really is, much easier and quicker than a brush

[@MiniatureOdyssey]

Very interesting. That interior set is made up of 3 very useful generic colours as well.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Indeed!

[@rich_john]

Great review👍....and ideal for me to use, for touching up paint chipping on my miniatures....as im too scared to spray varnish 😂

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, they are well worth the money, IMO

[@user-je5do6jn2f]

Where were these wonderful products 30 years ago?!

[@theenigmaticgamer]

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]

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.

[@schwabrichard9829]

Thank you for the nice report!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Thank you!

[@walkaboutgamez2502]

I love the RC pens I bought the big box great review alex

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Awesome thank you!

[@neue01]

Swans!!!

[@Jim-yk9if]

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]

There's a quite a lot of control, tbh, like any pen really.

[@Jim-yk9if]

@@StormofSteelWargaming Great! Thanks, Alex.

[@samsolopeeps]

That's so weird I was literally looking at those 3 sets the other day

[@aledroberts6151]

They seem to be fantastic - i could even paint tanks at work :).

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Absolutely!

[@aledroberts6151]

@@StormofSteelWargaming just ordered some to try, must be popular as loads of the range is out of stock already in multiple stores :)

[@davidbaity6456]

SWANS shurt is 🔥

[@peterixon8708]

Ingenious

[@SpringfieldFatts]

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.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Then they're not pointless are they? LOL

[@charleslatora5750]

👍

[@NSYresearch]

Very interesting, I'd not seen anything of these.

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers Tim, well, now you have

[@sleepsinleaves]

that's groovy

[@Flamethrower1942]

It's a shame the pens for the cammo patterns don't come as a base set and a highlight set .

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Maybe there will be in future

[@nopants3560]

Do they do a pack for human skin tones ( I still remember the infamous "Flesh" Humbro enamel . Ive been leaving pilots out , cos I haven't got the skills to paint them

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

I'm not sure, you should check their website.

[@garyclarkson5246]

Interesting. Cost? Thanks for the great video!

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers, it depends on the set, between £5 for three and about £60 for a bigger set

[@jeremyherndon2974]

Careful you may have other youtubers come after you for not being an old school wargamer because you have a sponsored video and want to get something for your time in making a video. 🤣🤣🤣

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

LOL, I'd best keep my head below the parapet...

[@seanmudge7546]

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]

Answer, they might be a bit thick for 10mm stuff tbh.

[@seanmudge7546]

@@StormofSteelWargaming thought as much. shame as the hands are getting shakey as I age lol.

[@robandrosehobden3344]

Great video it would be interesting to find out how long thay last with a 28 mil stuff 🤠🤠🤠👍👍👍

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Cheers!

[@chrisvokins4346]

Would it work on plastic kits 1/72 for details like tools on tanks?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

Yep, there is a tool set

[@moonlighttreasure1099]

What's the model scale? 144 or 100?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

1/100

[@Rupertbeardog]

I''m guessing they would work with 10mm??

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

I don't see why not, at least with adding large blocks of uniform colours.

[@Rupertbeardog]

@@StormofSteelWargaming ok thanks, that is what I was guessing.

[@middleearthinmiddleengland4265]

are these only available via Spain?

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

No. Worldwide.

[@middleearthinmiddleengland4265]

​@StormofSteelWargaming where in UK can i order these, postage from Spain is prohibitive

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

@@middleearthinmiddleengland4265 ebay.

[@bearcub460]

I don't get it...

[@StormofSteelWargaming]

They are pens which you paint with. Is that clearer?
