Colonel's Cardstocking Compendium !!! (Part 9b)
Section (Gb): Edging Tools
I have been doing some edging, on my cardstock projects, using a variety of markers etc, which I already had, or were available, cheaply and/or locally.
There are many blacks and bright/gaudy sets available, but, very few browns and greys, which would fit the bill, for most jobs; so I decided to do it 'right'.
I did some online research, and, from reviews etc, I identified the Kuretake ZIG Kurecolor ranges, as the best 'bang for the pound'.
They are reasonably-priced, have a good usage life, are twin-tipped (KC-3000 was the range I wanted) and are refillable, with reasonably priced/available ink (a full swatch is here); all win.
So, doubting that the lighter colours would have much impact (although, this is still to be established), I avoided buying full sets, for now, and visited my local, graphics, paradise, Pinders, who stock the KC-500 and KC-3000 ranges. They are more expensive, individually (£3.07 inc VAT), but I wanted them quickly, so off I went :)
Taking along a few of my smaller projects, I spent a good time, selecting the 'best' browns and greys, I could tell, staying under my £25 budget; here they are (all clicky-for-biggy) ...
Here are my swatches ...
I am delighted with them, at this time, and I hope this is useful, for now.
I will bring you some completed pieces, soon.

Been Good And Naughty Again
Detailed images on the Urban Barricades & Walls, soon.
I also bought a cheap laminator, so as to get my markers (and cribsheets) ready for gaming (!) (you can see some, as the backdrop) - thanks to GravenGames ...

Crusade Objective - Part X
Where X is a number greater than 10 (10, for now) ...
The bits ...
Wired for light ...
Primed ...
Basecoated ...
Got to the washed stage (veggy now removed, in the main) ...
Twinkly (the big red beacon flashes ;) ...
May as well finish it (strip and paint restart, really) and give it a shot ... make up the numbers :)
It also has a figure display base, which I will revisit ...
More text and progress, to follow.
