ACTA:SF Some painting help.

[Builder]

Hey all, quick qustion, whith some exposition.

I have almost finished painting the first wave of my federation fleet and it has come time to do detail.

So, for the feds what colour are running lights and phasor nubbins?

Thanks all.

Running lights are the same as real world ships, red port, green starboard.

Phaser bumps I usually paint light grey on Fed ships.

I haven't seen any real consistency on the phaser nubs/globes/turrets/emitters/whatevers :lol: I've seen some leave them white, some paint them yellow, some paint them dark grey, some paint them metallic-gold, etc.

I do like the art I've seen with them colored yellow, like this one:

Plus forward light white, aft light(s) yellow. Phaser globes are sometimes depicted as copper coloured like these: http://jaynz.trekships.org/view_gallery.php?cmd=gallery_ADB.idx
