I finally received my Posca Paint Pens yesterday, and had no idea how they'd take to my models. So I picked the one I thought would be easiest first.

A few panels on the underside. Middle two were the first and messier but I'll clean them up at some point. One coat each.

Hard to make out but did the engines on the TIEs.

Engine! After two coats. Pretty decent shade of blue straight out of the box.

Noticed that others had added red to what I think are front lights. Nice idea so I nicked it!

I'm wondering which panels to do no the top of the ship. The pens do matt and flat well. I picked them up for ease as I've not painted before and don't mind bold colours.

Has anyone else had experience of these pens? I wonder if I can do anything over the top of them?

Oh, how do I go about removing the paint? It's water based.

Cheers!

so to best achieve engine glow, you really want to exaggerate it, meaning pull some of that blue color up around the edges of the engine areas. If you ever look at a lamp or something that is glowing, you will notice that the light hits everything in its path, so in painting, you have to trick your eye and pull it a little more than usual. Also, you typically want a "hot spot" in the middle of the engine. So if you go back and put some white in the middle, it will look even better.

Nice looking work there mate.

You should try using some masking tape to help with those straight lines, it can be fiddly on smaller areas but the end result will look nice and sharp.

You could also look at least picking up some quick shade.

It can be bought in a tub meaning all you have to do is dip the model in then shake the excess off and let it dry.
