This is far along but still a work in progress as I tweak elements closer and closer to the series model. Believe me, it is far from perfect, but I thought you all might be interested in it.
This model was sold at Christie's Auction and some pictures (many blurry) exist of it. None-the-less, a mystery remains about the detail on the far side of Ty'GoKor, since to my knowledge, no photograph of it exists. If you have one...
The station on the left is the Chrisite's Auction picture, and the right is mine.

I'm not sure that cruiser will fit there though.
Thanks to each of you for your encouraging comments.
(Note: The first image below goes with Rekkert's above observation about the cruiser not fitting. Had to move it to change the WIP thread image)
Was the station in time to see a show?
Like me, I like Klingons.
Make the window maybe a bit reddish? Just an idea ...
Any chance to get this station?
Greetings
As far as getting the station I'll post orthos of some of the difficult pieces laid out flat. As usual, I have been doing and re-doing elements and then comparing the renders to the limited number of pictures I have, trying to improve everything including antenna placement. Also visible in the new backside image, I super-detailed and replaced the 3 long angled supports that attach to the docking bays
1) Power reactor in the lower portion behind the hexagonal mesh
2) Lots of accuracy tweaking - including the main body may be too deep.
3) The upper front face isn't flat, it has a slight bulge to it.
4) Detail on the front face.
5) Greeble detail on the outside of the docking bays including undermount attachements for the angled braces.
6) More clearance lights
7) Oh, and that odd thing on the lower right with the satellite dish on it.
We have a chance to download the station ?
Sorry, I can not good English I use a translator.

two threads sorry
No download planned, just Orthos.
Thanks Rekkert. Yes, it is completly flat, but it appears in the pictures I have that the real model is completely flat on that side. And to be honest, it's probably due to time constraints in making a model for a TV show. However, I just think of it as Klingon practical austerity. In other words, do just what gets the job done.
This render shows the docking bay supports more clearly.
I knew the station was on DS9, because that's the only time I can think of where they may have gone to a Klingon space station. However, I couldn't remember which episode, so thanks for telling us.
Hope this will see use in some scenes that are just as great.
Now I can send my Kronos One to go dock with it now
Also, thanks commandersozo
The chancellor's ship on a state visit and some regular D7 models on patrol duty or as honor guards.
The Center section is a hunting ground / battle training module.
I like the inclusion of the little docking areas from the Ty'Gokor station. They add some little continuity to the design.
By the way, if those bays are of the same size on both stations, that's one big hunting ground!
When I first saw the thumbnail I also though about the ships from the Trade Federation. It's drastically different, but the main shape is reminiscent of said design, at least in my eyes.
