FINISHED! Studio Scale Klingon D7 (TV version)

Modeling Subjects Science Fiction

Modelnerd- you are a professional model building shop, I assume? This is not anything like hobbyist work. Beautifully done! How much is something like that worth, if you don’t mind revealing…

Thanks Chuck!

I have been working at a professional model building/model design shop for the past four years. But I am also a home hobbyist. I finally mustered the courage to build one of these at home. A completed model like this D7 typically sells for the $1600-$2000 range. This one has found a happy home with a private collector.

Flawless paint work! Flawless!

Really beautiful.

Oh, and I checked my Klingong translator {yes I have one stop laughing} and the text on the ship says

“I Brake for Orian Women”

Most of you are scratching your heads but Trekies know what I"m talkin 'bout!

My favorite Trek ship (even without all of the finite detail of the newer shows). Beautiful build!

25

that is truly amazing and clean. WOW WOW WOW.

26

Very nice build! I always thought the D7 was one of the more cooler looking ships in the Star Trek universe

27

I always thought the Klingon script read: If you can read this your in range!

28

WOW! Very nice indeed! Great detail work!

That looks very good–is there anywhere I can get samples of the paint colours? My old D7 was painted different shades of grey–matched the filming miniature at the Smithsonian NASM pretty good but I guess that sample had been incorrectly painted

PM me your mailing address and I’ll send you paint samples.

Soooo nice! the view ports are really well done. you did a wonderful job, MN. Keep at it!

Bradbury? I think you mean Gene Roddenberry.

Great looking build, and if you’ve got your colors correct, I’ve been painting my wrong all these years! I’ll use your scheme to replicate my next Polar Lights kit.

33

I’m not sure how I missed this, but I did.

Very nice D-7! The colors look very good.

Thanks for sharing.

A couple years ago I had the AMT kit and was going for the battle worn look. It was nearly done with it, and my crazy ex smashed it beyond repair. I wish I kept it to use as space debris for another build, but hindsight…

I was so heartbroken, but now, this has inspired me to get another one.

Great work.

Klingon translation:

“Baby on board”

or

“Today is a good day to carpool!”

Really looks good
