Wow! Is it gonna be as big as the pic?   I like the center gun mts, a lot! al the modules/towers make it look really complex. a really nice Flagship type of design. Typical Klingon diplomatic cruiser, It's like, "If we want to talk, you should listen!"
WZ and you! Sounds twice as good. I can't wait to see it.

Really cool design.  It really looks like a contemporary of the Rommy Valdore.  WTG.

I think actualy shaping it like a batleth is just plain silly.

I agree with DookeyKing. She looks like a Valdore in may ways. Not a bad thing, just an observation.

She's definately tough-looking and remains very "Klingon" in the overall look.

I think this ship is deserves to be constructed.

I'm afraid I disagree with you completely Starforce.  Since the Klingon cultural heritage is so steeped in ritualism and symbolism, designing a vessel around an icon of the Klingon Empire makes as much sense as the Romulan ornithophilic tendancies, if not more.  Believe it or not, this practice does go on in our own societies, although perhaps not quite to this level (at least not yet), however I shall not condemn you for your opinion.

Azel/WZ, another marvel in the making.

Actually I only deserve credit for giving him the idea of designing a big Klingon ship, the concept of modeling it after the Bat'leth was his idea entirely. Personally, I consider it to a be a bit unorthodox as I'm more of a traditionalist in terms of starship design but it is technically no more unusual than the afore mentioned Romulan 'birdships' or the jet-age inspired cars of the '50s.

Nice looking....Finally we are having good looking Klingon ships and not only a big brick with warp capabilities.......

I´m not trying to offend any Klingons fans, It´s just my opinion......

Thanks,

Mariano

It will be interesting to see if this design ever makes it to mesh. I like the aestetics of it but something just isn't right. Maybe it's too wide for it's length or something... just can't put my finger on it.

My 1st impression from the look of the inner wings is, it kinda looks like a bat.

i`d say the design rocks its big mean and klingon to the bone just look at the Bird of death design this one can be its very big brother a great design that sould be modeled if i had that level of skill i do it at a drop of a hat

And Atolm has designs that make your spin up too. But i seem to have lost my link. Atolm could you help me out?

Atolm is the reason that I started converting all of my pics to facing shots. He also is responsible for the improved look of the BaQ, and it is my hope that he and I can collaborate in the future.

I could draw a facing shot of this ship if you like Atolm, and put it up on BCU as well to get some of my guys working on it. We have about 22 models in production right now, so they are now in a busy mode.......good time to catch them before it drops off.
