Thanks to Jeff's Build of his Movie Enterprise; http://www.therpf.com/f11/jeffs-1-350-refit-enterprise-97477/
I have decided that I can actually still build models ( haven't completed one in many years but was decent at it once) and seeing as I have everything I need to build it the way I want it and not necessarily sticking to the screen accurate model nor the dark greys of the studio model.
I have decided that since real spacecraft of the day were white that it was to intention of it being white, and I saw this series on black and white TV so for me I remember it as white. However I may still use a little bit of grey if the white looks too garish!
I just ordered all the electronics supplies I need and then some from : http://www.taydaelectronics.com
I got all this:
For under 20 bucks!
Just wanted to share that with you guys I thought it was quite reasonable.
I will post some pictures tonight, althought I am only at the stage of sanding and filling the nacelle seams.
So let the heresy begin!
