Klingons

Some new ships arrived on my painting table. The Klingons now have some reinforcements to expand their fleet. In Star Trek Canon, the only official ships were the Negh'Var, Vor'cha, K't'inga, and B'rel (I'm ignoring the K'Vort as this is a scaled B'rel). This gives the Klingons a small frigate, an ancient destroyer, a cruiser, and a dreadnought/battleship. Since some of these designs have been in use since the TMP era, I wanted to modernize the Klingon fleet and include ships that could have been built during the TNG era. The results are what you see above. A top view shows the relative size of the ships:

The ships from left to right, front to back are: Kel'Var destroyer, Qa'cheng frigate, B'rel escort (Romando), Riskadh heavy destroyer, Goralis cruiser, Bortas battlecruiser, Negh'Var Battleship, and Keth Ke Se Battlecruiser. I view the ships as 2 generations, the B'rel, K't'inga, Riskadh, Goralis, and Keth Ke Se in the generation just preceding the TNG era and the Qa'cheng, Kel'var, and Bortas are the contemporaries of the Vor'cha and the Negh'Var. All ships (except for the B'rel) are listed on the "Ships for Sale" page. Additional views can be seen in the gallery page.

Klingon Negh'Var

The Klingons started out as enemies and eventually became allies during the timeframe from the original TV series to the Next Generation and DS9. Their ships are sleek and aggressive. We first see the Negh'Var in the finale of TNG, "All Good Things" (although it was actually a variant). The Negh'Var proper was seen during the DS9 Dominion war arc. There has been other Negh'Var models made, notably the Micro Machine model, however, I wanted one in scale with the Jem'Hadar models (1:7000). This was the result. Overall, I am happy with the paint job, although, it could use another coat of paint to tone down the contrast. It is a very detailed model with a considerable number of scribe lines. The bottom is also detailed:

This was a difficult ship to construct. I started over about 3 times before I had a hull form which I liked. All in all, it was a very rewarding to see the finished product. Additional views can be seen in the gallery.
