Tip for April 2005:
Metallic Silver Sharpies

If you've ever used paint pens, you know that they usually fall into one of two categories: they either refuse to go on over plastic or painted surfaces, or the pens gum up and become unusable after a few weeks. Thanks to Sharpie, modelers now have a marker that has a fine tip, long life, no gumming, and goes on over anything. I bought a set of their metallic silver markers a couple of months ago, have been using them pretty regularly since then. I've used it for trim, chassis details, and various other details, and highly recommend them to other modelers.
