UPDATE...
Most of the hull is textured now and as you can see this Klingon Captain likes to keep track of how many Federation dogs he's destroyed.
Started to work on the textures for the bottom of the ship. Just a little bit more to add and it's done. I included the Romulan bird to see how it looks. I like it. The Romulan version of this ship will be colored different.
So, if it's not a reboot, is it supposed to be a successor to the D7 / K'Tinga? What's her name? Either way, I like it, especially how you connected the nacelles to the pylons. Just tone down the relective shine a little. Klingon ships should be dirty and rusty, not sparkle with cleanliness like on the neck in the last render.
Calling it not a reboot is mostly a joke since I started these ships around the time of the last movie and everyone appeared to be doing their own version of everything. So this is my version of a D7. I'll be keeping the specularity as it is because I personally like the look. These ships aree far from clean.
Yup I like that wing-engine transition as well :thumb: The whole ship is cool too but the speculars seem to have too much difference in intensity on the wings' edges.
Due to my father’s current health I’ve not been getting too much done and I don’t know how much I’ll get done in the future. The next few weeks will let me know.
I fixed issues I had with the textures on this ship. I’m much happier with them now. All I have left to do is finish the warp engines and start on the disrupters.
Lovin' your take on the D7 mate, but sorting out your dad comes first. Here's hoping his return to good health is one of your Christmas presents this year.
Looking forward to more of your great work when you're able.
UPDATE...
My D7 is finished and ready to make some Federation Captians soil there tighty whities. Now I’ll have to put together some orthos.
Here is the Klingon D5. A smaller Klingon ship that most Federation ships can stand toe to toe with. I have to adjust a few textures and add support for the warp engines.
Odd design, but I find it somewhat nice. Though I'm not sure it matches Klingon design philosophy. Ok, it got a head with the gridge and a neck and the engineering section, but it lacks wings (I know, it'd look like an offshoot of the D7 then, but EVERY Klingon ship has wings, so it's a bit odd without).
I tend to agree with that. I love the engines where they are - it looks great, but IMHO in needs some form of small wings, or weapons pods or something to make the design stand on its own and look less like a kitbash. I love the rest of the design but the lack of anything where the D7's wings would be just makes the design look unbalanced...
Klingons have a design philosophy?:D And what's a gridge? Just kidding, well the D5 isn't finished yet. I will add something to the sides I'm just not sure yet. I'm not sure I want something sticking out of the sides. Mabe there will be some kind of plumbing and junk since this is an old design meant to be replaced by the D7.

Panels and vents always seem to work. If you can incorporate your neck detail into the areas where the wings were, that might also evolve the design.
Didn't saw that I misspelled bridge as gridge until now. Oooopsies.
Meh, take note, kiddies, never write something in a language that's not your native one before you've got some good coffee or other drink to get your brain to nominal efficiency. :P
Both of them looks very good Fozz.
I would like to make a suggestion about the D5. Hope you donAât mind about the horrid drawing over your rendering.
IAâm suggesting a pylon to connect the nacele to the sec hull and, starting from the middle of that pylon, anther one when youAâll connect the weapon.
That's not bad but it already has the same two aft facing weapons that the D7 has. Atleast at the moment. I may change that and add aft mounted weapons to the sides of the ship.

Finished the textures for the shuttle bay.
And it's official. A world without Leslie Nielson is a world that sucks.
Surely you can't be serious?
And don't call me Shirley.

* we know nothing is truly complete, rather just done fiddling with it for now.
Sounds like a good idea.
