VoDleH Class (AKA Emperor Class)

As a kitbasher, I sometime get my ideas from other builds that I see.  In the case of this model, I thought about building this model after building a 1:2500 scale Praetorius class that served in Starfleet.  This is the Klingon counterpart to that build.

And here is this model's story...

D-7 & K'Tinga Class Variants

Now that I have finished my Eaglemoss vs. The World article on the K'Tinga Class Battlecruiser (Read that article at THIS LINK.), I decided to share some of my kitbash work that share an ancestry with that ship classification.

As an extra bonus, Eaglemoss eventually produced the D-7 class battle cruiser and you can read my review of the model at THIS LINK.

The K-Tinga Class is the direct descendant of the D-7 Battlecruiser, hence the reason they look a lot alike.

Since I like kitbashing in 1:2500 scale, I have purchased a lot of AMT Round 2 3-Ship sets over the last two years.  And because of this, I ended up with a lot of D-7 and K-Tinga kits in my stash.  I eventually found some source material that gave me some ideas on what to do with those kits.

While doing some reading about the D-7 design history, I came across a Matt Jeffries set of drawings on Memory Alpha of his different concepts for what this ship was going to look like.

This gave me the idea to try to build a couple of these concept drawings and make them into "real" ships.  The reality is, I could have used either the D-7 or the K'Tinga kits for these builds due to the similar body, neck and head structure.
