keep going! The new Klingon Defense Force needs these ships now!! 
Question: what did you use to color the cutting edges? looks like a pen?
I used a Sharpie felt pen but I realised it was running out of ink so didn't work great. I've just changed pens!

As i started i also used pens, but the color (until it is now a black line) never fit to the surface! then i saw that people using wet colors!
I used a school paintbox with 24 colors and if the color not match, then you can mix with others!
I know that some people are using aquarell watercolor paint, but they are very expensive!
Maybe you will try it for the Disruptor modul?

I have always used colored pencils but am willing to learn a new thing.
What are these?
Also, where can this weathered paint version be found? I like the DS-9 version as much as the Next Gen you originally did.
@THE DC I use tempera watercolour paints for painting the edges of the parts. You can find them at your local hobby and craft store. They mix very well together for matching the right colours that I need. I also use a very fine brush as well.
I have noticed that some people use black or grey pencils and that at least covers the white paper edge. watercolor pens seem popular.
[ I myself don't use them as I am mostly building tests for modifications. If I were building a show piece I would most definitely buy an extensive set of prismacolor pencils to match with.]

I've never tried water colors because I had assumed there would be bleed, like when you use markers.
I'll have to give them a try.

If I paint the edges and can't find a matching pen I prefer water colours. The trick is not to apply it too wet and only on the edges. The best way to do so is to dry-brush the egdes. That gives you full control of the tone. Load the brush and then "scrape" the colour off onto the edges. You may even dab the paint on. Do whatever works best for you.
