    What happened in the bottom Christie's photo? Did someone knock it over?

    I don't know, possibly. You can see the cannon intact in two of the photos.

    Given how big that ship is, she shouldn't be bobbing about like that in that clip.

    I know they wanted it to move, but it can't have more than about 10 degrees of movement off axis gimbled the way it is. Wouldn't the bird have to turn to aim the wing guns at Kirk?

    Darn shame about the model. :(

    Another thing that gets me is how is that thing actuating? It's got all of that mass out on the end of the barrel, and nothing supporting the joint?

    Too much blood wine.

    A shame that some numpty dropped it. Or maybe it flew into a window. Birds are dumb like that.

    I noticed those two Klingons escorted Kirk down a hallway onto the bridge. Definitely the neck of the bird. And yeah, why bob it around unless they were trying to depict some force trying to restrain it coming from the alien at Sha Ka Ree?

    More than likely some git decided to take a load off and sat in the prop chair and hit their head on it. Seen people sit on sculptures at museums and do other worse things.

    Man that would be embarrassing, not to mention costly to pay for the repairs.

    Filled a greeble recess (or two)

    Although this looks great, don't you now have to break the wing for strict accuracy? ;)

    I wonder if that ever got fixed. :# I found it interesting that it looked like broken wood. They did such a nice job of making the model look like metal that the wood surprised me.

    Thanks, that means a lot.

    I've been looking at that complex pattern on the front of the cooling grills and so UV mapped the front grills and painted them. I think it adds a lot.

    Looking good, It is coming together nicely. I am waiting for the green version to appear.

    Are those windows on the shoulder parts? I never realised there was windows there.

    No those cutouts (3 openings grouped together and 3 sets of the openings per "cover") are just "holes" presumably for heat dissipation. I say presumably, because, now that you ask the question I'm not entirely sure what they are for, other than esthetics. The ship does fly through the atmosphere and may need heat control at that time ("It's very cold in space" --Kahn).

    I will say this, I would like to see Pakleds trying to control a BoP (or Q)—and the thing flap its wings pathetically for a comedy bit.

    Its about the details. Finally built the greebles underneath the right cover in front of the cooling fins. Also did a LOT of work on the forward bridge area. There are corrections to the plating around the forward plasma weapon, built some greebles on the front underside. Redid the lighting and reflectivity of the forward plasma weapon. Textured the "Cloaking emitter" (the red tube across the front of the bridge). This also has corrections to the engine area and just added greebles all over the ship. Making the gradual transition to UV mapping and texturing. I'd say I'm about 3/4 done.

    The greebles all look good.

    I can't stand it. I have hours and hours of greebles and plating to build but decided to mess with color. The following is not UV mapped and the final will be - but I am learning what separate named surfaces I have to build.

    I like it, I don't see many ppl doing Klingon ships. The modeling work is superb. I can't wait to see the UV mapped version in all its glory.

    Thank-you @fluxfire. You probably saw there are 4 other Klingon ships in this thread. This bugger is rarely the same on both sides.

    Starting to individually color the plates on the bridge.

    That's a given. Otherwise, why put yourself through that pain? ;)

    Probably an ILM trait, don't you think?
