Klingon X-Cruiser?
« on: May 13, 2011, 12:24:16 am »
Has anybody seen this yet? http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=30016

It has design elements that look similar to WZ's Stawart class. I think it would make a seriously cool contemporary of the Late TMP X-Ships, although the intent appears to be a JJ-ised Klingon Cruiser.

The site the picture links to shows the bottom as being less flat.

I have mixed feelings about this being a Klingon X ship but I do like it better than the JJ-prise.

Are those ball turret disruptor banks on the aft hull?

Looks that way to me. I'd like to see a schematic though...

Yeah, the topside details are incomplete . . . a work in progress. The reason I thought it would make a good X-ship is it looks like a hybrid of TMP and TNG, perhaps a developmental step between the Ktinga and Vorcha.

This is one of the reasons why trek fans shouldn't be dismissive of JJ-trek.

I was looking for ST models and happened across it.  Too bad the models that made it to television and the big screen were not as cool.  I didn't like any Klingon ship after the first movie.

Wow!  That is a really great design for a Klingon ship.  We hardly ever saw concepts of what a Klingon X1 ship would look like.  I always considered the Vorcha class as more of an X2 era ship (something comparable to the Ambassador class).  Nice job!

There's been an update that seems to complete the upper panelling and the nacelles! Bloody awesome looking. I don't have the skills to tackle her or I'd be seeking permission from this guy! http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=30701

Perhaps someone who is particularly good at Klingons . . . WZ? Raven?

OK, I couldn't let it sit, Mr Long has approved an SFC version of it and has offered to provide a schematic and orthos of the model when completed!  ;)

Always nice to see a new Klingon vessel being brought to SFC.

I can't wait to see who tackles this.

Richard has even been approached by a few Star trek Gaming Companies to utilize this design in future electronic games!

Though this immediately implies the cruiser will be in the next Trek 11 game, I think it's just over-blowing "oh, some fans of SFC asked about this model."

this is way to modern looking to get a X-cruiser of late TMP, its more late TNG or post Nemesis like looking, it even has similaritys to those STO Klingon upgrade versions of the cannon ships

The Northern Star is going to be instrumental in me defecting to the Klingons.
