Salut,

Thanks for the videos.
I was looking for painting my Borg ship as well, so they are very helpful.
My was already painted in silver by the previous owner, but I prefer the dark gray look.
You will see that you will learn fast to understand all specific the terminology by reading this forum.

Cheers,

Hey flugs...

All the paints I used are Tamiya brand paints... I'm not sure about reference numbers but I know Tamiya uses specific names for their paints...

I used two sprays - Gunship Grey and Light Gun Grey. I also used bottle of mat black and a bottle of metal bronze and mix these two together to paint the exposed panels.

You could also use a third spray and if you do I would recommend a black metal to create a third tone but I would only use it very lightly on areas as the ship ends up quite dark even without using black on the main parts of the body. Maybe if you use the black metal then perhaps better to use the light gun metal as the main body colour instead of the Battleship Grey to brighten up the overall appearance.

Thanks chinosts,

Unfortunately I have the feeling that the names are different in France.
I have found the TS42 from the video (the light gun metal, which is called light grey metallic in France), but I'm not sure for the first colour you have used, as you are not showing the top of the spray can in the video.

Thanks,
Cheers,
