Kuhn Global PHASE II (Inspired) D-7 by REL – BLUE SCREEN

[Kuhn Global]

This is the kind of artistry that I LOVE!! When art deviates from the norm just enough to cause folks to look. This Studio Scale Klingon D7 was inspired by the “never done” Star Trek Phase II series. They were the precursor ships to the TMP K’Tinga in the fact that they had PAINTED panels instead of the raised panel armor of TMP. Of course Richard painted this more K’Tinga-like than the original Phase II paint scheme, but the original idea remained true to that never aired series. I am VERY proud to show it!!

As you can see, Richard did a wonderful job with this beastie. I especially LOVE the metallic “sheen” he made with the paint he specially mixed for this piece.

THANK YOU RICHARD!!!

Here are the rest of the photos of this large beastie… they get better with each photo!

Thanks Allan! I agree... I think I may create an online gallery soon and just post links to it to conserve board bandwidth. What do you think of that idea? It certainly would save on page load times as well as posting pics everywhere. lololololol

Even in the more "plain Jane" form of TOS, I just love the hell out of that ship design!

Great looking ship there Kuhn Global!
I think out of all the ST ships this one has got to be the best looking hands down because you know as soon as you see it what's going to happen next!
Just looking at the under swept wings and protruding head you know without seeing who is on the bridge that this is a species who do not take BS from anyone!
The Enterprise was usually a graceful ship but this type of ship just looked mean and ready to throw down!
I really like the paint scheme! It makes a nice contrast to the pearl essence used on the Enterprise in the movies!
I must admit that I really did not like a lot of the details used on the Phase II Enterprise. Once the decision to go big screen went through and they revamped the ship they did a much better job!
Anyway, great looking ship and I hope you don't mind if I do a version in 1/1000 scale, after all mimicry is the highest form of flattery!
All my best, Petseal

Amazing ship!!! Did that start off life as a kit or is it a scratch build?
