Title: Marking Queens
Post by: Summerbee on March 07, 2006, 02:13:55 PM
Hello,

 There's some good stuff on here on marking quens, but if you don't get a marking pen can you just use acrylic paint or such?  I heard fingernail polish is toxic. Thanks.

I use to use Testors model paint.  The have a paint pen that works well.  I have also heard of people using whiteout and then numbering.  Just keep in mind, you want something that isn't going to wear off too easy.
