If these shoulder pads are more complex curves than that [i.e. are "spherical" rather than "cylindrical"] then I think I'd use freehand.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-34039072801619464212017-10-04T08:54:57.675-07:002017-10-04T08:54:57.675-07:00Thanks Dai, solid advice.

The greens and greys make it look all sorts of slime-covered and old.<br /><br />For eyes I stopped using pens a while back and went back to brushing instead. Far easier for me at least. The pens had the same effect you've described.<br /><br />For markings I say decals too. If you have them. Otherwise, something simple and geometric, don't try to go overboard on freehand if you don't have to.Daihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978439841611727387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802656816793750482.post-71662115475063079302017-10-03T10:26:40.333-07:002017-10-03T10:26:40.333-07:00I have the 3 reaper liners but I wasn't too im...I have the 3 reaper liners but I wasn't too impressed.
