Alan:
I haven't tried the WS pen, but I've used a few Sharpies -- both the laundry marker and a couple of paint pens. In OO/HO, they tend to bounce along the spike heads or chairs, leaving bright silver patches there.It improved a bit when I trimmed the felt point, but the colour was quite a bit off.
Usually I use a small brush and acrylic paint -- the usuall sienna & umber variations and any other interesting brown or red shades. Sometimes I try the laundry marker as a base coat.
I let the paint cover the spikes or chairs as I don't see why these should be different.
