In Progress: Studio Scale Klingon D7 (TV version)
Posted by ModelNerd on Sunday, July 22, 2012 1:36 PM

Greetings again-
As if I really needed ANOTHER project… here is a studio-scale Klingon D7 resin kit, made by Custom Replicas. This 1:300 scale model is approximately 29" long, and was made from a 3D scan of one of the original filming miniatures from the TV series. It is basically an exact reproduction of the actual filming miniature.

Never heard of this one. I almost bought the Capt Cardboard one a few years back.

Is it resin?

Nice job so far, I'll be following this build also!

Thanks. Yes, it is all resin. The included stand parts (not shown) are laser-cut acrylic.

Awesome Mark! Always love your work. Cool

Was thinking in the first two photos with half the hull missing that's what she looked like after Kirk and the Enterprise got a hold of her... Dead

What a cool project. I wish I had room for studio scale.

Cool! Such an iconic ship from TOS. This one is big enough to get past the 'toyishness' of the 1/1000 plastic kit as well.

 

Gonna light it?Smile

 

I'll be watching too as you have fun!Cool

Thanks. No, no lights in this one, as the original filming miniatures were also not lit.

It's almost done, gang, so I should have final photos within the next few days. Woo-hoo!
