I’d love to see an Enterprise model at this scale, either the movie-version original NCC-1701 or the -D version Galaxy- class. I make no guarantees, but there’s a chance.Īs to the inspiration for the forward command section, who would have thought that balloon segments would have so many alternate uses? So far I’ve used them in steampunk rayguns, fawns, mediaeval ships and now Klingon starships. Even that long, narrow neck section is actually fairly strong between the spinal long axles and the outer tile-and-plate wrappings. I think there’s a good chance this might actually have reasonable structural integrity if built in real life. It’s the same basic design, just with slightly more advanced sci-fi modelmaking. I’ve gone for as much visual accuracy as I can muster this is the D7 of film and TNG, not the original TV series, as evidenced by the squared-off, not round, warp nacelles. The only problem was that doing so would make the completed model fairly large, and necessitate an LDD work.

Sorry to go on about it, but it’s one of my pet peeves about the Star Trek universe.įollowing on from my little Classic Space Bird-of-Prey (which I didn’t post here, but here you go), I had an inspiration for how to build the most difficult section of the D7 – the bulbous forward section – easily and without trouble in LEGO bricks.

There are probably fans who’d have done the design work for free just to get their Klingon ship on screen, and the modelling too, come to think of it. But that’s the situation we apparently have, and fans have jumped through all kinds of ludicrous hoops to explain what’s really just the producers being lazy and cheap in terms of in-universe continuity. Refits can only go so far before it’s cheaper to design a new ship class, and the Klingons wouldn’t have been able to gain and keep an empire if they were stupid with their military tech (besides that being out of character for the Klingon warrior race). Which again makes no sense it’d be like the Royal Air Force continuing to use Supermarine Spitfires in 2016.

Supposedly the seventh iteration of a series of cruisers named after the Klingon drell lizard, the venerable D7 was the standard Klingon starship in Kirk’s era and still seen in service on more than one occasion in Picard, Sisko and Janeway’s TNG era. Out of that limited field I think my personal favourite is still the oldest, the D7, sometimes called the K’tinga. Whereas there were at least twelve separate Federation ship classes shown, and dozens more designed, there were only four, possibly five separate Klingon ship designs. And that’s even including the Bird-of-Prey visual that the TNG special effects people used to represent at least four vastly different-sized ship classes, a trick that makes no in-universe legitimate design sense at all. Due, presumably, to lazy modelmakers and producers, the Klingons never had anything like the number of different ship types that the Federation had.
