Building an EM-33

The kit as I recieved it.
If you look close you can see a groove all the way around where the two side were placed together. I have that filled in and ready to smooth out.
I think that the groove really should be there but I wanted to remove it for some reason. It's one of those things that in the long run won't make a huge difference but I wanted to do it anyway.
The body seam was filled, sanded, and then hit with primer. This was lightly sanded and the body color was put on. I also have about 50% of the body parts ready to put on.
I could not find the Classic Grey so after looking what seemed forever I found this Rust-Oleum in 7581 Lt. Machine Grey. I have never seen a finished EM-33 in Classic Grey but I think that this color should be very close. It's a touch on the light side of grey and has just a small dash of a green to it. Not enough green that you would notice unless you were looking for it.
Here are two photos of the 5 main body parts painted in black. I only have a few hours a week that I can really spend on something like this so, it takes a while for me to get something with all these parts done. I would guess that this is all I will be getting done this week so until next weekend, enjoy. Oh I used a Krylon simi-flat black paint for these parts.

Enterprise crewmembers were armed with phase pistols: http://www.phasers.net/2150/phasep.htm
MACOs on the Enterprise, and other Starfleet and civilians used the older EM-33 plasma pistol: http://www.phasers.net/2150/em33.htm
