I've been slowly working on my Starship Enterprise model.
It's now fully primed, and I'm getting ready to paint. Unlike most of the rockets I've painted in my life, this one requires some detail work. Specifically, painting parts of the warp nacelles and the deflector/navigation array. If you look at the instructions, it calls for using Pactra or Testor's spray and brush-on enamel paints in the following colors:
* Light Gray (Camouflage Grey)
* Dark Gray (Rebel Gray)
* Copper or Bronze
I'm looking for advice on:
* Paints - what do people recommend?
* Technique - any gotchas when painting the detail areas? I'm assuming masking - where possible - is a good idea.
Thanks in advance,
Ken
