Anyone still build models?

The folks that restored the TOS E for the Smithsonian have the right color, which is a sort of concrete gray with a vaguely greenish tint. You can find online articles about it. I think they recommend Tamiya AS-12 Japanese gray for modelers, but I just personally prefer light ghost gray for a more on-screen look.
I find Tamiya AS-18 Light Gray (IJA) to be a very good match for the Enterprise.
Except, I think that was AS-2 IJN Light Gray (typo, I'm sure).
Modelwerx, which already did Kelvin aftermarket structures for the Round2 Discoprise—now has both Refit and TOS options, like this one:

That's probably what I meant to say
Damn old brain.
VERY nice! (Tries out the "love" action for the first time).
One of the best things about the Enterprise is that she is beautiful no matter the color. My model is currently primer gray as I finish up on some spots, but I enjoy looking at her even in this unfinished state all the same.

It's her balanced proportions and clean lines that make her that way (yes, I said "her" - naval traditions, after all).
Many of you remember the 1980 Filmation FLASH GORDON animated series.

Well, she's sci fi: This is a 1/6 3D printed kit of Dejah Thoris I bought from Crimson Raven Miniatures:
I have a lot of trouble painting eyes, so I was grateful her bangs were a separate part that shadows them I think I'll go back to planes and spaceships for a while, they're more forgiving. Any mistake can be called weathering.

It's visible, just takes a long time to load for some reason...
That is a really nice looking model. Thanks for posting that.
