DS9: Karemma Merchant Vessel

[D-WHALE]

after a loooooooooong time i start a ne build report about a Star Trek model!
a "thank you" to linweseregon; she gaves me the right kick to do it!

About the ship: it is not the original physical model from "DS9", but it is possible that it was the CGI model in the series! on the screen captures of the CGI model at Ex-Astris you can not really see the ship!
fact is, that the ship was also used for other races and (a funny sidenote) it was also used in "Firefly"!

Ex Astris Scientia - Redresses of the Karemma Ship

Ex Astris Scientia - Visual Crossovers with Other Series/Movies

like my friends and followers at Facebook knows, i´m nearly done like i show now !

First up i start with the texturing progress

the virtual model was finished and the "funny" part begun: UNFOLDING

Some peoples still think, that this is the easiest part, but it is much more than "push the unfold button"!

After the 6th (!!!) testbuild i had finally the right way to build the main body!

some bigger (but not so easy) parts follow

[D-WHALE]

more progress! I must say, that the ship looks also good without the two engines!

Cool! It reminds me of the Mogh battlecruiser from STO.

WOW!!! What a great build/design. It does remind me of another ship from a non trek show. Just can't seem to remember which one. Looking forward to more. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.

now the two engines!
maybe i should explain, that i use for some parts thick cardboard! it calls "Finnpappe", but i have no idea what´s the name in english! here a german wiki site:

Finnpappe ? Wikipedia

i use this cardboard with 0,9mm thickness! it is very smooth and easy to cut! better than grey cardbord of package material!

Oh! that's a stylish ship and the assembly is getting very good!
