Ok, had some time today and made a quick blank to check out the way the thing fits together. Over time I'll replace the parts with more accurate representations. I cant make it very detailed as it wont show up on a small print. Might look the part though. Here's a pic...
Any idea exactly how big the finished model is supposed to be in millimeters? I need to scale it properly so once it's done I can work out the price per print.

There are a few more views of that thing here on Bernd's site (scroll to the bottom.)
As for the scale, short of asking Doug Drexler (I think he has the original mesh) you can only guestimate how big it was supposed to be from the shots it was in.
Looks like (when folded up) it's a touch smaller than the Defiant's nacelle cowling, but then that'd depend on how big you think the Defiant is supposed to be...

In the clip Rev linked to above, we see a Klingon BOP collide with one of the platforms (at around 2:57). They seem of roughly comparable scale. Don't know if that's helpful, but it could be. (And skirts the Defiant scale debate)

Are there not two sizes of BoP as well? I seem to recall someone reusing a model and calling it something different to get around the scale issues. So, how big a bop?

As I recall the giant BoP (K'Vort?) only showed up in TNG. I think on DS9 they consistently stuck to the smaller version. Certainly in the later seasons anyway.

Getting there- the "legs" are seperate parts that move to that outward position.
Someone link a youtube link for Axe, willya?
