Wrapped up this baby today (whew!). The kit went together with very little trouble. I did move the post mount hole farther forward, as the stock position is not at center of gravity. Enjoy the pics-
Nice job!
Beautifully done!
That is excellent!
Beautiful work! Love the different colours of grey you worked in there, makes the detail pop more. Was the original studio model painted this way or just a plain grey?
Built the AMT kit years ago and on my TV the ship looked a light blue. Somehow baby blue doesn’t come off as a ‘warrior’s’ colour to me and I should pull her out, clean her up and repaint her.
Is it me, or do the Klingon and Romulan ships just look meaner than Federation ships? Except for USS Reliant… Very nicely done MN!
I think that was Bradbury’s intention to reflect on the Klingon military society.
Thanks. The studio models started with this green/gray scheme. At some point, one of the models got an additional green color added to some areas. The colors I used were custom matched to color samples from an original filming model.
Thanks to everyone for their kind comments!
Mark that is simply stunning.Very nicely done Sir!
Okay…fanboy question here…
Who else tried looking up what the Klingon script on the ship says?
That’s actually a factory warning that states, “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”.
“I Brake For No One”
I figured it was:
GLORIOUS SLAYER OF TRIBBLES
ModelNerd-This is one of the best looking Klingon D7 models I have ever seen. Outstanding work.
Thanks again, everyone!
Sweet, really beautiful work.
Terry.
Great job !! It looks straight out of the show !! What kit is this ?? I’d love to know 'cause they way this turned out I’d raring to go on my own. When I was kid in the 70’s (before Star Wars) my Grandfather built me one of these from AMT, I watched the show in syndication on Saturday nights. Man this thing brings back memories. Let me know, great work.
Thanks. This all-resin kit was made by Custom Replicas (www.customreplicas.com).
THAT is a thing of beauty!
