Because all the color schemes and combinations are "Screen Accurate", this allows for a bit of flexibility in choosing my preferred color setup... So here are the more well known versions in the TV show.
First, the Black and White model. These are only found in the first eight TV shows to my knowledge. Some say the color was a cream or pearl... Something to consider. You can see why they *ahem* phased them out.
Rare Original screen used white phaser. They are rare because most were painted over. |
AA version prop. Note the lack of the metal conical tip |
The color of the body of the Phaser is a dark blue. No Metallic. Here are two Screen Captures... Both have the Metal Conical tips.
So, after the long and lengthy amount of research, I think I will be going with the dark Bronze handle and a dark blue Slate paint job.
Here are the paints I plan to use.
For the Pistol Body:
Santa Fe Blue. http://www.testors.com/products/137307

For the Type 2 (smaller Phaser):
This color is tricky, because it is supposed to look dark grey in the light, and black in less light.

For the Bronze Grip:
Rustoelum Dark Bronze Metallic: http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-7272830-Metallic-Bronze-11-Ounce/dp/B000ZYTNJA
you probably already built it painted it but another color I found for the phaser body is tamiya ts_32 haze grey it almost has a hint of blue in the right light
