i tried doing a graphic of the warbirdized K't'inga a few years ago and realized how ungainly it looked.. i ended up using artistic license to make it look a little more stable, then gave up on finishing a rendered version..
the gif-bash i was intending to work from:
i didnt end up spending any more time on it, maybe i'll render it someday

Now it doesn't look half bad... But its still a weird kitbash
And, with all due respect to April Wells modeling skills, I think his battleships looks even worse... like a Bat-warbird with big nose

Wells' version takes a lot of getting used to.... but it grows on you.
I'd have lost the BOP's bridge section entirely and that nose as well, but that's just me playing devil's advocate.

The nose part on Well's model is the work of the Devil, you don't want a penis for a nose (although it never hurt Karl Maldens career I suppose). The rest of it I can live with, it's not too horrendous from the front or side but the top section view reveals it's Frankenstein origins. The one in the comic is the work of a bored comic artist, it suck AND blows.

*ponders* Both of those designs have some merit...at least the concepts are interesting. I don't know, I may be (or may not) able to do something with the concept and I have been meaning to do a TOS-era Romulan design for a while now. And no Masao, I'm not naming it after a vegetable!

Those designs are completely different though. I liked seeing an outgrowth of the Romulan's use of Klingon ships. Technological continuity and such.

The ships I linked would be of alater vintage than that....no TNG era Romulan would ever serve on a filthy Klinbgon design!
I never cared for that idea that the Romulans had to "use Klingon designs"....I DO like FASA's (movie-era) crossover designs though like the Bright One destroyer and the Whitewind cruiser: they have just enough klingon influence to suggest some tech trading but not so much that the Romulans dont have a unique design esthetic.
