Neo uk Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 As the title suggests I'm building a rather large Klingon Bird Of Prey model. I've had this build going for quite some time but forgot to put it on here so you've got some catching up to do. Here's one picture to give you an idea of size. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo uk Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Here's some pictures of the wing tip guns.I used solder to join the brass parts together. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo uk Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) This is what you start out with for the neck , and the second picture is what I ended up with once I'd poured glue all over the parts and just rolled them together.....(Obviously I'm joking)I added the parts in front of the tube myself to make the area a bit more "busy" looking. BOP,Here's one of the first parts of the lighting that needs doing on this and the results after bit of soldering and gluing.It's much redder in real life Edited May 14, 2015 by Neo uk 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazyeagle Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 That's the Nice N Models version yes? Must have been a heavy chunk of change. Doing a fine job there- all you need is the Time Slip Studio Enterprise A and you can have a stand off. Will be watching with avid interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmick Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Now that is mahoosive, the D-7 battle cruiser is 1/350 scale this might be the same, remember they shoehorned two humpback whales inside it for Star Trek 4 so it's bigger than you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
