Good work finding that - at least we know the drawings exist.
Anyone have a picture of the new Klingon Battlecruiser/Warbird?

Well I think the closest thing to a picture of the new Klingon ships is a picture of the Burger King toy.
Of course hypothetically the thing "not" to do would be to go on youtube and enter The New Star Trek Movie Funny Scene in the search box, the click on the video that comes up and pause it a part that may or may not be what your looking for, of course this is all hypothetically, and should "not" be done anyway.
The "simulated" D7 battle cruisers seen in the Kobayashi Maru test looked almost exactly like the D7s and K'tingas seen in the franchise since 1979. I couldn't detect any major design changes the Abrams effects team made in the Klingon cruiser from its last appearances in the TREK universe under the Beebs.
I'd expect we'll only see the live action footage with Nero in prison - a brief bit was in the trailer - and that the CG was never rendered for the "decloaking around the Narada" bit.
If there is CG footage for that scene, I'm sure the Klingon ships will be the same models/renders used in the Kobayashi Maru scene
Thats why starship whores like me need better pictures - to see what differences there are - even minor things like windows, can reveal if the new D7s are meant to be bigger, etc - I find it likely that the new D7s will be as different from the original D7s, as the K'Tinga was from the D7:

Jesus, is it just me, or does this ship not look like it has a sombrero on?

Wait till the torpedo tube lights up, it'll be a dead ringer for Eli Wallach smoking a cigar as Tuco the bandit in THE GOOD THE BAD & THE UGLY.

Hell, calling a Klingon ship a warbird is a canon violation anyway, begun by Enterprise! Oh well! But BFD!
There are already a ton of so-called "canon" violations in the new movie, like the Feds having contact with the Romulans and apparently knowing what the Romulans look like, contrary to Balance of Terror. Why not establish that the Klingons and Romulans already have ties because their common foe is the Federation? That would include sharing technology like the cloaking device and similar terms for ships like "warbird."
Besides, it always made more sense to me that the Klingons and Romulans were natural allies because of their warlike proclivities, esp. during the 23rd century. As I recall, The Enterprise Incident is the first inkling that they're sharing technology, but hell, it may have started before the events in that ep. So why not establish in this new continuity that they've already established such ties?

One of the only things they got right in the whole damn movie including the enterprise uniforms! the rest is shit!
I think they got the bridge and main engineering right. Oh, and the size of the ship too.
I take the term Warbird as almost like calling a plane or helicopter a Bird, and noting that it's primary function is War.
Like a slang term someone coined.
It has it's roots in the making of Star Trek III, where the antagonists were initally going to be Romulans, but then they changed to Klingons, and the "Bird of Prey" description stuck. They even kept the painted bird wings on the ship design.
None of those things are really canon violations since the timeline was altered - it is concievable they had contact with the Romulans early - the word Warbird may just be slang for ships like that. There were far worse things in Enterprise, since that show was actually meant to represent the past pre-TOS. I see the new movie as an alternate universe, since some things in it are hard to accept, canon wise - but officially, Spock Prime was the original Spock.

Makes sense. Too bad they didn't make the adversaries Romulans in TSFS. I can see Christopher Lloyd as an effective Romulan. -- RR
