I'm thinking that this might be useful for edge colouring ...
Has anyone tried this medium? Coming from China, it ain't as expensive as it looks. Only £7.99. Mind you, in order to get to keep it I'll probably have to buy her one too.

I tried it-no go at all.Stuff I used was based of something ever so slightly oily,not enough to make a mess but enough to make things smear and worse yet glue didn't hold anything that stuff touched.
Colored pencils used for make up are a bit different.They were good for weathering but still no-go for edges.In turn putting clear coat lacquer when finished was questionable. I still prefer and recommend pencils.Find brand you like for your paper and you are golden. |

Cheers for that Butelczynski. I guess I'll stick with the watercolour pencils and Felt tips then. It was just an idea, but I felt sure someone must have tried them.

I'm another modeler that uses Prismacolor water color pencils. Some times i'll retouch the edge with a very small amount of water applied with a paintbrushand extremely small of water. Like damp on the edge. I would try a few test runs first. wc

John - Glad they worked for you. I use Tombow interchangeably with Faber-Castell PITT for cut edges. Don

I usually use markers on small parts, and thinned acrylic craft paints for most edges. The trick is to match the colors as closely as you can. A "color wheel" is very helpful for matching colors (at least at first). With experience, matching colors becomes "second nature". I bought a nice set of watercolor pencils, but they don't seem to work as well as my standard technique.

Dang, wish I had seen these edge coloring threads before getting sets of:

I use the brush pens. No need to press hard. And often I use only black, light gray (painted twice or thrice if you need the darker shade), red-brownish (the same), and sometimes pale yellow. But in most cases the perfect match of the colour is not as important as one can suppose. And if there is a black line printed along the edge, a black marker will do.

I use a combination of brush pens and colored pencils. As far as the pencils, I wet the tip of the pencil and then rub along the cardstock edge. For edge coloring thin paper I apply a brush against the wet pencil tip to pick up the color. Alternately use a wet brush against a dry pencil tip. Just make sure that the brush isn't too wet before edge coloring. Have a rag or tissue handy to absorb some of the moisture if needed.
