Howdy Ron and Adam,

Firstly allow me to welcome both of you to the forum, glad ya found us.
You might look in the gallery for John's pictures (site owner) I believe he has a few sci fi models possibly and RJ woods gallery.
I currently dont have any built myself, but i have in the past, unfortunately a divorce disposed of them.
However, if you are willing to try something "new"......ok, new to alot of people but a very old art for with a new hi-tech twist, allow me to point you to a link with a few free downloadable sci-fi and other models which you will print out on your home computer (thats the twist).

For several "Star Trek" models of the USS Enterprise (several versions), as well as models of the Robot from "Lost in Space" and the "Nuatilus" from Jules Vern's 20,000 leagues under the sea to models of star wars tie fighters, X-wing fighters, battlerstar gallactica "vipers" and "Cylon raiders" and the Battlestar Gallactica itsself Go to this site: http://jleslie48.com/gallery_models.html and then click on "Sci-fi models" (there are two more categories you will want to visit there too).
You will also find tons of real spacecraft models like the Apollo capsules, the Saturn V rockets and many many more.....all for free.
Now these are all "Cardmodels" and all you need to build them are adobe reader, a printer, and "cardstock" or inexpensive photo paper, white glue, scissors or an x-acto knife. Then you are ready to go.
This site provides photos of the models once completed and i believe you will be impressed at the quality. And your friends will be amazed when they realize "those arent plastic, they are 100% paper".
But anyway, go have a look and if there arent enough there for ya, let me know and i can probably find a cardmodel of most anything you can name. These are great for those times where you are between models or just want something different.
Anyway, i have rambled on long enough, have a good day and again, welcome to the forum guys,

Howdy Ron,

The voyager is one of the sci fi models I had years ago in plastic. I am not sure paint you are looking for, but if you could be abit more specific, i might be able to help. But, please know i am in the US, however, I will be more than happy to look for vendors in your area.

have a good day,

Greg

I have been searching the net for a Revell colour 383 Chestnut brown but all I can find out is that is no longer in production

**GEEDUBBYA** · 27-02-2008

Howdy Ron,

Ok, heres what I got on the paint you are looking for.

Rivet Counter

If you will scroll approx. 1/2 way down the page (but not quite 1/2 way), you will see a color conversion chart that gives the Revell color and the humbrol equivilant.
If you cant find the humbrol color in your area, try cross referencing it in one of the other charts on that site.

I hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else,
