Peter6172 Posted February 9, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Team, I have found that using both Feast Watson and Comic Markers provide good coverage of bare wood. In fact I have found that the use of both the Comic Special Black (100) and Dark Bark (E49) provide a lovely satin (near matt) finish that can be varnished over. The stains do run slightly but into the grain so I find it great for edges of planking but not smooch for the ends. The Topic markers come in a huge range of colours and have are double ended - board chisel and fine point. The yard is painted in matt black acrylic while the Topsail Mast is marked with Comic marker (still some touchups and varnishing to do). The key differentiator for me is that the acrylic can scratch off while the marker does not. The Feast Watson stains are nice and come in the usual wood colour varieties, They even come in 50ml bottles which is perfect for modellers.
