Star Trek Prelude to Axanar Blu-Ray Artwork

Recently Robert Meyer Burnett, Alec Peters and Christian Gossett hosted a contest on Facebook for a  donor to contribute designs that would become the cover of the Blu-ray disc. 

Klingon D-4, D-5 and D-5 Tanker in 1/1400 scale

Here's what I like to call my Klingon Trifoil. The D-4, D-5 and D-5 Tanker all in 1/1400 scale from Starcraft Models.

Klingon "Warbird" Style Cruiser Primed

Here's a few picks after I sprayed some gray primer.

It really helps show the details a little bit more.

1400 Scale Klingon "Warbird" Style Cruiser

Here's a few pics of my 1400 scale Klingon "Warbird" Style Cruiser. Over a decade ago I attempted to convert a 1400 D-7 into a Ktinga by added hull plating and styrene details...then Ravenstar's Ktinga came out with 10x more detail than I could produce on mine so I threw the partially finished scratchbuild in a box somewhat defeated.

Fresh out of Drydock: 1400 scale Klingon D7

On The Bench: 1400 Scale Klingon Winged Defender

Here's my interpretation of what a Romulan Winged Defender would look like if it was built by Klingons instead. I based the detail of this ship of off a combination of 3 Klingon vessels; the D-7, the BOP and the early D-7 from Enterprise.

I spliced the classic 3-piece set D-7 with the Ertl 1400 scale BOP form the Adversary Set. I filled in the gaps with putty, added styrene details, then added the support beams with different thicknesses of wires (for the Enterprise early D-7 look)

Fresh out of Drydock: 1400 Scale Klingon Brek'Tal Class Cruiser

Here's some painted pics of my Klingon Brek'Tal (Ritual) Class Cruiser.
I used a few shades of Vallejo green, some citadel colors (Tau Sept Ochre & Mechrite Red) and plenty of Badab black wash to get it nice and dirty.

Fresh out of Drydock: 1400 Scale Klingon Bird of Prey

This model has been a long time in the making. I think it's the oldest model I own really, and I just now finished it... over 20 years later.

It started out as the Klingon BOP from the AMT/ERTL 3 piece adversary set. I painted this once as a kid, played with it, broke it, glued it back together, rebroke it, etc. Eventually years later I decided to strip it down, and add some of the detail I noticed was missing. I scribed new panel lines, bulked out the cowlings on the wings, rebuilt the rear engine and added misc detail all over. It was at this point that it went into a box for years until it resurfaced a few weeks ago. It was at this point that I put some final touches on it, rebuilt both disruptors from scratch (previous battle damage), primed it and painted it in one shot.

It took about 3 hours to paint using an assortment of Vallejo and Citadel hobby paint and washes. The base is an old STTNG Playmates Klingon base, repainted for this purpose.

Well, finally I finished her and she can be displayed with the rest of my 1400 scale fleet.

On The Bench: 1400 Scale Custom Klingon Cruiser

Not sure what I'm going to call this ship yet, but I am sure it will sound like I'm coughing up a hairball whilst saying it.

Overall, this Custom ship is primarily a chopped and repositioned Vor'cha Class Cruiser. I shortened the nacelles and positioned them closer to the wings. I used Federation Models Negh'var upgrade parts for the ventral disruptor pods. The dorsal sensor pod was extended and merged with what used to be the ventral deflector assembly. The gaps were filled with brown stuff epoxy putty and new hull plating was done with sheet styrene over top of the hardened putty.

The Command Module in the front was a minor kit bash, I used pieces from a classic Klingon Cruiser, a Trade Federation STAP droid's backpack, and other pieces from the Vor'cha kit to build it. New hull plating was done with sheet styrene.

The next step, painting the beast and giving it a proper name.
