REL,
Have you thought about doing the K'tinga Battlecruiser variant seen in Star Trek IV? What was it called, Chronos I?
It was Chancellor's Gorkon's ship. Besides a few painting detail differences, they/ILM's model shop modified the original K'Tinga model by cutting slots in and adding lighting to the warp nacelles.

Here we go:
"Visual effects director Bill George discussed the modifications made to the Kronos One in the January 1992 issue of American Cinematographer. In the article he said: 'The model needed to be repainted anyway, so I proposed that we make it look very distinct from those in the first film, especially since it was one of the few models we could alter to look new for this show. We did some research into military costuming, and came up with the concept that when these ships return victorious from battle, the Klingons build some sort of epaulet onto their wings or paint a new stripe on. We painted the model brown and red with gold highlights, then added golden etched brass epaulets on it, based on some of the helmet designs we'd seen. It contrasts nicely with the Enterprise, which is very smooth and monochromatic and cool, while this Klingon ship is very regal and ostentatious and warm.'"

I have always been a fan of the k'tinga design and that build makes me like it even more! Savage work man. The lighting really brings it to life.
The pattern looks like it would have been a headache to do..or maybe thats just me and the laziness!
Great work all around :thumbsup
