During the build of our 1:900 scale U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D partwork, I have used different paints, markers, and washes to add some additional color to the model and correct some inaccuracies versus the studio models. Recently, a visitor comment asked if I could share a list of what I used during construction, so here we are!

Each builder is different, and my choices below are not the only options, so feel free to do your model any way you like. These are merely what I thought would help spruce up my own model. I have included links to the products (but you can likely get them anywhere hobby supplies are sold) and links to the issues where I used them. This page will be updated throughout the build.

Paints

NOTE: All color swatches represented here are RGB approximations of the real colors. Your results may vary.

The Original Paints

Eaglemoss did mention online once that these are the main paint colors used on the hull sections:

Color	Purpose	Real Name	HEX	RGB
	Base Hull	RAL-7040	#989EA1	152 158 161
	Aztecing	Pantone 413 U	#BCBDB4	188 189 180
	Aztecing	Pantone 5503 U	#94B7BC	148 183 188

My Paints

These are the various paints I have used along the way. I typically thin my acrylics to about a 50/50 mix of paint and 70% isopropyl alcohol to allow for faster drying and easier airbrushing. However, for Vallejo Model Air paints, I spray them straight from the bottle:
