Wrapped up this baby today (whew!). The kit went together with very little trouble. I did move the post mount hole farther forward, as the stock position is not at center of gravity. Enjoy the pics-

Nice job!

Beautifully done!
That is excellent!
Beautiful work! Love the different colours of grey you worked in there, makes the detail pop more. Was the original studio model painted this way or just a plain grey?
Built the AMT kit years ago and on my TV the ship looked a light blue. Somehow baby blue doesn't come off as a 'warrior's' colour to me and I should pull her out, clean her up and repaint her.

Is it me, or do the Klingon and Romulan ships just look meaner than Federation ships? Except for USS Reliant.... Very nicely done MN!
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!
N is for NO SURVIVORS...

I think that was Bradbury's intention to reflect on the Klingon military society.

Thanks. The studio models started with this green/gray scheme. At some point, one of the models got an additional green color added to some areas. The colors I used were custom matched to color samples from an original filming model.
Thanks to everyone for their kind comments!
Mark that is simply stunning.Very nicely done Sir!

Okay...fanboy question here...
Who else tried looking up what the Klingon script on the ship says?
That's actually a factory warning that states, "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY".

ModelNerd-This is one of the best looking Klingon D7 models I have ever seen. Outstanding work.
Thanks again, everyone!
Sweet, really beautiful work.

Great job !! It looks straight out of the show !! What kit is this ?? I'd love to know 'cause they way this turned out I'd raring to go on my own. When I was kid in the 70's (before Star Wars) my Grandfather built me one of these from AMT, I watched the show in syndication on Saturday nights. Man this thing brings back memories. Let me know, great work.
Thanks. This all-resin kit was made by Custom Replicas (www.customreplicas.com).
THAT is a thing of beauty!

Modelnerd- you are a professional model building shop, I assume? This is not anything like hobbyist work. Beautifully done! How much is something like that worth, if you don't mind revealing....
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

Thanks Chuck!
I have been working at a professional model building/model design shop for the past four years. But I am also a home hobbyist. I finally mustered the courage to build one of these at home. A completed model like this D7 typically sells for the $1600-$2000 range. This one has found a happy home with a private collector.
Flawless paint work! Flawless!
Really beautiful.
Oh, and I checked my Klingong translator {yes I have one stop laughing} and the text on the ship says
"I Brake for Orian Women"
Most of you are scratching your heads but Trekies know what I"m talkin 'bout!
My favorite Trek ship (even without all of the finite detail of the newer shows). Beautiful build!
that is truly amazing and clean. WOW WOW WOW.
"I feel more like I do now, than when I first got here."
Very nice build! I always thought the D7 was one of the more cooler looking ships in the Star Trek universe
I always thought the Klingon script read: If you can read this your in range!
Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"
WOW! Very nice indeed! Great detail work!

That looks very good--is there anywhere I can get samples of the paint colours? My old D7 was painted different shades of grey--matched the filming miniature at the Smithsonian NASM pretty good but I guess that sample had been incorrectly painted

PM me your mailing address and I'll send you paint samples.
