K'T'INGA KLINGON BATTLECRUISER

[GEEK1138]

Greetings Earthlings, so I have been asked to produce an accurate model of the K'T'inga class. Klingon battlecruiser warship, for a fellow member on the RPF, who intends to exclusively offer it as a studio scale resin kit.
I have set about getting the basic shape and plate details first and will then do another pass with all the kit parts...mostly Leopold and Morser Karl kits... If anyone has more info about the kit parts used, I'm all ears

Here's what I am; got the head and neck mostly done and have started fleshing out the body

Nice work on that so far! Can’t wait to see more. Following this thread!

If you are able to offer this as an STL, it will be a must-have for me.

First thing first: do you sleep? Second: great rendering as always mate

Maybe not helpful, but here are some reference images I happened to have in my collection. And an Enterprise just for kicks.

They're pretty small, sorry about that. Dial-Up was still a thing when I found these.

Watch parts for greebles?

Now, there were explosive laden TOS like D-7s early on—those seemed to have the Graph-unit/nacelles lower than on these or Matt’s original…

Nice photos! In that last pic I can see harrier parts. 4 of them and towards the rear I think that’s Leopold

 

[Droidr4i9]

Correction, 6 harrier parts not 4
Looks like part of the ejection seat rail.

These pictures are incredibly Captain D. Now I need to watch the the attack episode with the theme music on full blast.

Thought it was this part in this kit but not

There are some parts id’d in this thread. When I get home later today I can repost the pics with part names.

Star Trek Klingon Cruiser /Kronos One "Greeblie" Parts IDs

For anyone who might be willing to help, I'm trying to ID these parts. Here in this first post, these bits are from Kronos One from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Work was done on the filming model circa 1991 so all of the model kits in question would have been available at any time up...

Just get the Polar Lights 1/350 kit and 2x the measurements for studio scale.

This ship was mapped out as well as it could have been over 20 years ago. I doubt the group and online info still exists, and I'm only in touch with one member. You aren't going to get the watch parts and small filler bits, but most is sorted, so dig around. A group of about 3-4 of us started on it, and eventually that folded but another group came along and wanted to do the same; sadly they were all fixated on kit donors. not other possibilities, and missed a lot of the finicky forms. Some of that has survived though, and came to be used in Charles' base KTinga for Polar Lights. Be aware that a lot of period photos were taken before it got its last detail pass.

Clerval,
Thanks for this information. As a kid and then an adult looking at reruns, Star Trek had fascinating models. The Klingon ship is another of those very unique designs. No doubt Geek1138 has his sources and will reproduce his creation for his client in superb fidelity to the original studio scale model. With interest, I will research some of your feedback. Great post on past history background that has fascinated so many that still remember.

Lots of hasegawa leopold parts lots of hasegawa morser karl parts, a few engine cylenders from revel f4u corsair.

 

[GEEK1138]

Thanks for all the input guys...I'll be digging around quite soon for the mapped parts as soon as the primary modelling is done. Have to say, the hull patterns are quite something...believably from an alien race
