TNG Cobrahead Phaser

[Arky]

I printed this model from Unimatrixred's awesome Cobrahead phaser kit on Thingiverse: Star Trek TNG 'Cobra head' Phaser Kit by UnimatrixRed. It took about a day to print, and another couple of days to fill, sand and paint. I used Krylon Fusion Matte Black and Matte Glacier Gray for the body, and some cheapo craft store acrylics for the buttons/power indicator.

That's a good replica, nice clean up on the 3d print, nice to not see print lines.

I'm not sure if you were going for a custom paint finish but the original props had the 7173 "Starfleet Silver" for the main body with gold and silver power, beam width and trigger buttons.

Awesome project. TNG is the trek i grew up with

Duplicolor "Medium Marblehead Metallic" would be a great substitute for the 7173 paint originally used.
