Nice work. I like those impulse engines very much. I hope the whole fleet gets the same uniform treatment.

Thanks! I may still play with the "orange" part a little to try and get a little more depth out of it but I do intend to use this or some derivative thereof for the bulk of the fleet.

I've got some more details added to the command pod now, and I've reduced the impact of the plating on the inside pylons. I had made the light a little more bright and blue than elsewhere, to reflect the glow from the nacelles but it was a little too much.

All of the upper-body details are complete so from the angle seen below they look as they should in game. In keeping with KF's odservation regarding scale; I simply plucked two screens of the ships in Mod Viewer one after the other, only loading the models in between without adjusting the zoom so they should be to scale. His observation caught me trying to be artsy again, I had adjusted the size of the D9 and used a blur filter to try and simulate it's being a little farther away but I agree, its better to see them in scale. I  might not have caught the cargo bay doors otherwise. I still don't have lighting on the upper secondary hull on the D9 and there's some very minimal detailing to do on the underside but it's just about ready for release as well.

Command pod complete!  :) Just the underside of the secondary hull to go. Sorry for the crazy angles but I wanted to get as much of it in the picture as possible. As you can see, I've also cleaned up the forward part of the command pod so it now looks much more consistant with the Z'gal.

I hadn't realized until looking at studio model photos for this that there is so much light grey on the underside of the hull. I've also found the more accurate schematic now but I'm not inclined to start fresh at this point.  ;)  Things are moving along though, I might have this guy uploaded by tonight!

Sorry or the delay gentlemen, "real life" popped by for a couple of days. All good, and pressing on. As i said, I wasn't aware that there was so much light grey on the underside of the secondary hull. It's growing on me though.  :huh:

sorry for saying this but its clear why you have that much lightgrey on the bottom, if you use ref pics of the Kronos One variant like you shown it
the Kronos one isn't a ordinary K'Tinga its a diplomatic cruiser variant  :)

As I said at the beginning, I see the colour variation as a reflection of the family that a particular ship belongs to. The red and grey markings being an indication; therefore, of "Gorkon" ownership. Other markings, (gold bits etc) being an indication of the family head's (in this case the Chancellor's) flagship. Similar to what was seen in the old FASA manuals and was I think loosely indicated by the artwork in the series'. This is, of course, simply a convenient way to explain differences in artwork that occur over time . . . but it lends backstory and credence to the genre. This would make the KIN a more loose association than some that is held together by honour and desire to achieve like goals. The Empire can more easily fall into civil war when and if families fall out of grace with or disagree with the ruling council, as seen in TNG. Don't get me wrong, however, I'm not upset over your interpretation, nor would I want to disparage you of your right to such. It's just simply not the same way that I see it.  ;)

I actually really like how that bit of lore sounds - wrought with fantastic conflict points for good stories, and is very reminiscent of feudal japan.
