Maybe an RPG or Ingram Mac 10? :devilish:
If bees were that size I think they would be farming humans not us them .... lets hope the Chinese have not already genetically modified them and they are the signs of things to come - puts drone warfare in the shade !
 
Thanks for the tip. My Posca blue pen is dark navy and a lot harder to spot black Qs.
My first ever Nuc had a white marked Q , looking forward to using my new white pen. Feels I’ve come full circle, not quite in the learning department, think I’ll need a couple more cycles to feel in control🤔.
First use of my white pen yesterday, very satisfying 😌
 
Two showers later I’m detecting an issue with the new toma pens

Added fluorescent Green to go with Flur Pink to my kit today.
 
The spots are meant to go on the queen!:)
Sh:1t....no wonder I couldn’t find them😂 on a serious note I’ve learnt over the years that first dab goes some place other than queen.
 
Yep. My first dab always goes on a top bar. At least they should not fade on the queens as much as other pens then.
I also give them a good shake now as I found the white was a bit wishywashy (technical term) when I tried it on the edge of the box. A couple of shakes and it was nice and dense.
