Horray I managed to get myself a model kit of the Enterprise, no its not the larger, more expensive version, but still it cost me Aï¿¡35...
So while looking through the painting guide at the back, all the duck blues and blacks is fine i understand that.
But can anyone give me some basic tips for the actual hull of the ship, I've look in a few other places and they talk about flat white, primer, Gloss white spray etc and its dumbfounded me a bit
I just want my enterprise to look authentic so i'm looking to here for help
and then i can get some Pics posted up of my progress

I'm not really the one to help you with accurate paint colors for it, I'm afraid... Just wanted to say, good luck with it!
Yeah I think that would be best, think its too small to paint on the Aztec, and i'd probably screw it up. I did find a guide of some sort, where somebody who had built it, and used a Flat White spray, then another shade of white.
But I plan to buy all the paints etc in the next few days, and then I'll get started
So finally i got started on the model, I decided in the end I was not going to give the hull a spray paint, as after buying the rest of the pain points etc it would of just cost me too much money,
Btw I recommend to anyone doing a model kit paint to go with Tamiya paint pots, the colours are better and it washes off your paint brush with ease
So first thing I did was build sub sections and then try to paint them best I could, as you can tell from the pics, my painting is pretty crap lol
I Cannot stress how fiddly, annoying and tiny these things are, but i am working my way slowly, I know that if I rush em, they will look worse than they already are
So the outside of the nacelles
I was using an old casino card to cut straight lines lmao
And the start of the top of the bridge section
So far I think i am doing okay
Use a thick or heavy tape around the area you want to paint. Makes it easier to keep the paint contained within the area.
So far, I have the top section of the saucer section almost complete, and the neck line of the secondary hull, I shall put pics up soon
