This took forever for me to actually get off my butt and complete! It's huge, ungainly and powerful- a nice compliment to the smaller, faster Vor'Cha battlecruiser.
Here's the original 1400th scale model I started with.
There's a LOT of mods to the basic L'ntch kit: the obvious additions are new nacelles, a new bridge and rebuilt side hull panels (to cover the giant "vents" on the kit and to bulk up the ship a bit). It's also got about a dozen greebles, a new lower deflector (like the VorCha) and some parts chopped off some Transformers Beast Wars toys that I bought cheap at a comic store.
Pardon the crappy pics- it's time for a better digital camera.
Opinions?

You've put a paint bottle under the model - now I can visualise the size of your models. Quite small - ever done a 1/2500th of a Runabout! Or how about the Chaffe?

Actually, I have several Runabouts and this crazy bastich made a Chaffe leaving his defiant class USS Wolf.
The klingon battleship I just completed is about 10" long. The Defiant in this scale (linked) is about 2.8" long.

Thanks- I was pretty lazy with this model myself. I sort of lost my muse for modeling for a few months and all that was needed to complete this ship was the addition of the nacelles.
I put off completing it because it seemed a hassle, but once I started painting the nacelles, it only took a couple of hours to finish and I'm happy with the model.
I've got about a hundred other pics of various ships at that site if you're intrested (yes, I'm an attention whore, I admit it).

Glad you found your muse again, Jason. It looks great!

Nicely done Jason , I really like your take on the model. It's funny we are re-tooling the model and lots of Jasons changes are close to what changes have been made on the masters.. i really like people like Jason who take a model and make it thier own. well done. chris

I notice one of the ships looks like a model i saw in a trek game i really liked... the name of the ship escapes me, but it was my favourite Klingon class in the game. Its sort of a beefed up D7. Really cool.

Hmmm...I'd like to see it if you can dig up a link.
I have a bunch of parts just waiting good ideas.

You've got it labelled "D 10 battlecruiser" and I think the game was Armada 2. Can't be more specific, sorry.

The D-10 is an old FASA design that I added some TMP panels to as an update. Armada II has a a lot of nice designs though.
Odd you should mention that: my CD was destroyed while moving apartments nad I'm bidding on a new copy of the game as we speak.
I used to play online against a friend in Tampa every week- I just loved decloaking my klingon fleet and wiping out his starbase.

I was always too mesmerised with the models to be any good at it...

Whatever happened to your Klingon ship that utilized the Furuta base for the secondary hull, Jason? I know it was sent of to be kitted, but what's the status on that one...?
