Klingon Bird of Prey (custom mod) "B´Rel-S"

even half way up it still looks awsome

Thank you very much!

Here is another update... I´ve finished the patchwork on the hull, smoothed it a little, added another top to the part where the engine room is supposed to be. Ok-look for yourself:

I´m really sorry for the big pics, i´m new and don´t understand how to add thumbnails...

That was a gigantic patchwork to do, i had to fit in every single piece of paper and cut it a number of times, so that it would fit... but now this is over and i´m looking forward to the really nice part: the Painting... :D

looks very good how well would this work if it were enlarged for the bigger birds like maybe the K'Vort class from the TNG?

Nicely done! Can't wait to see this one colored!

[Vorcha]

I´m planning to first paint everything green, exept the lower side of the wings, which is red, and then add the texture-structures in black... afterwards i´ll do smaller structures like windows or lights...
i can´t use ready textures, i don´t have a color printer and it would be very hard to fit them on the round parts anyway... i´ll post updates, when i´m ready with the wings...

I´m sure it would get much better, because you could work much finer and there wouldn´t be so much distortions on the hull like you see them on my ship... But i guess you would have to do also a more detailed inner structure to form the outer hull... in any way it would be possible to make it MUCH more accurate. Are you planning to build the model?-if you´re interested i´ll make a building plan and post a new mastersheet of corrected parts...

I am indeed interested in building this one but it will be while yet as i am a couple of weeks away from a move plus i am working on Rawens big Enterprise still.

Vorcha,
a Question about your formers
the edges looked frayed, do you cut them out a little large and then sand them to the correct finished size?
or are you doing something else.

[Vorcha]

Yes, i corrected them afterwards with the scissors (not cutting, but by rasping)
