Well, I for one can't wait to see this finished, Richard. Of course, I know what you'll be starting next... :love

Hi Richard, when do you think you'll have your "Ultimate K'tinga" ready for sale? I've got a video camera all set and ready to go! :wacko
Seriously, are you going to make it out of fibre glass or a combanation of resin and fibre glass?
George:cool

Thanks. All the parts that need to be lit will be cast in clear fiberglass, all the other bits and bops will be resin. Oh and I just invested in a vac/pressure casting system, so no more bubbles.

I'm starting to work on the rest of the bridge platform.

Very nice! I believe this one will be a best seller Rich!

A good investment no doubt - the Botany Bay is an awesome little kit but the many bubbles just under the surface of the resin made it a lot more challenging to get good model - but I probably appreciate it more since it was a lot harder Its still a great little model though - not complaining but lack of bubbles in the future is something to REALLY look forward to :love

I'm looking forward to see this Ktinga finished... It looks awesome already!

The Goldsmith Klingon theme plays in my head every time I look at this thread.

 

[Onigiri]

Yup...I see NOOOOOOOO problem with this being called the Ultimate K'Tinga. Cant wait.

 

[REL]

Thanks. I'm working on the bottom of the platform now.

 

[REL]

oops there were couple of panels out of line, I fixed it.

Hi Richard

That is some fine workmanship. Best looking K’Tinga I have seen to date.
I love the Botany Bay I obtained from you.
I’m now dedicating myself to obtaining your kits until I run out of display room.

These shots remind me of this!

 

[Kuhn Global]

LOLOLOLOL... INDEED Rob! A very good reminder! Except for that being Kronos, the similarities are amazing!

 

[REL]

Thanks.

I'm doing more detailing on the neck, I had to scratchbuild the part from the MPC Darth Vader TIE in 1/2 scale.

 

[PHArchivist]

Its so funny how they use commercial kits. As I'm sure a lot of you know, the engine vent/grate on the commercial kit for this very subject (Klingon Battle Cruiser) is used in a medical tool prop in Star Trek IV!

 

[Treadwell]

Looks like they used an R2-D2 vent on there, too?

 

[REL]

Yes, I had to scratchbuild that one too, I want to thank Charles Adams for providing me with pics of the studio model with kit part labels.

REL, when I look at your projects, I pretend that you are working on them for ME. That makes me very VERY happy!!!!:lol

Thanks.
