Hi Craig;

I've been doing exactly this for my RC papers, in fact using the 
same pens that Ernst is using. My favorite is the 00 size (.30mm, 
but I don't reccomend using Eboni, it will look much too black, and 
will rub off. Try an LK, perhaps even thinned out a bit with 
distilled water (or base fluid if you have it)to get a grey that 
looks more like pencil.
