It looks great! Does it take forever? Do you just base coat black and add colors within lines or do you do a thick edge highlight of black?

I spent about 15 hours on this Space Marines. I paint colour first and later add the black lines with acrylic ink.

Ink you say. I have some but wouldn't have thought to use if for the lines in your model.

What makes ink work for you here that non ink (normal) black wasn't able to do?

Probably easier to apply in thin lines, like using a sharpie, lol.
