Sometimes Firefox color picker; myperfectcolor web site, easyRGB web site, are my tools when I paint match for interior design. I hope now these tools you can make use of as well.

I've worked with Night Wolf Federation (NWF), Platinum Bullets Clan (PBC), and currently with Johnny Freeroam's crew (JFR). I never played or knew of Space Engineers until the 2020 pandemic. I hope this is considered progress for what I have learned so far.

These paints from the National Air and Space museum were used in my garage around 2022, as the Pandemic gave me a lot of idle time, and a plain, wood-framed garage that sheetrock, rockwool insulation, a few red light bulbs in recessed boxes, and paint changed it over that summer.

3) I originally looked for model kits, and "Ertl" was the most popular and researched version of the TOS Enterprise. The decals however, were best for me to interpret from a site called CultTVman's site: culttvman dot com/main/a-modelers-guide-to-painting-the-starship-enterprise-pt2-by-gary-kerr/. It provided paint layout, and decal placement best when comparing back-and-forth on the computer screen between SE.

2.) The digital color swatches that match the ones used at the Desilu Studio paint department, were done by digital artist MGagen; based on research by Garry Kerr.

1.) First and foremost, I need to apologize to Moxxie151 for essentially shipbreaking the, "Cromwell Class", and doing as most FASA and Star Trek Online variant designs do, and making a sub-class on the bones of their design. I was planning to further replace existing blocks with the TEI curved blocks mod, add the hull neck below the saucer section with a receiver clamp for both the traditional Ptolomy cylinder payload, and connectors for smaller craft in the JFR faction. The Trafalgar Sub-class was also meant to have a 2-craft shuttle bay for the TOS style shuttle crafts, below the impulse engines located on the back of the added neck of the ship. It's still my intent to use the TEI block to further iron-out the support struts to the nacelles, the lower half of the saucer section that holds the golden large dish antenna to give a more recognized TOS style. It was 3 A.M. on West Coast time when I put this on the workshop
