dropped the wings, cleaned up the over-embossing and retextured in 512, redid warps, insig, etc.

and the same for the KCX, she got a small bridge dome, otherwise same treatment.  I haven't done my light plate overlay on this yet.

Much improved!  Now, we just need someone to fix the warp engines!

Fixed?!?  In what way?  I already like the Klingon X engines.   :huh:

Ive always wondered who did them at Taldren, they are not at all like the rest of the low poly stock ships.

Most of the other race X ships are pretty bad actually.  Pirates are OK I guess.

IIRC Cleeve (aka: Don Wolgroski [sp?]) was a guest modeller for the Klingon X-ships. Pneumonic 81 was the guest modeller who did the Fed X ships.

Heh, working on Taldren Stock is sort of my hobby.  Sometimes its drastic.  The X ships were not that bad, but the BB.. ohgawd.

To this day I have no clue just what that Barber Pole thing was supposed to be.

Klingon Academy came out after SFC1, but in KA, that barber pole thing housed an "assault phaser" - basically a ph-4 on huge steroids . . . if you fired it too much, the ship would have a breakdown and spin out of control.

I think Mace might be right there.  Klingon Accademy came out not too long after SFC1, and I think some of the models were incorperated in both games at design time. 

I do like that Klingon BB retexture there.  Much better then the stock model.   :)
Will these models be released on Battleclinic?

The BB and the DNs will be up within a week for the new versions.   The old versions are there someplace as well.  I'm slowly redoing all my old work.
