For those who don't know me, I'm blown away with the Klingon, Federation wars time period and have done some extensive work on Perimeter Action ships as well as support vessels and now lately, older, lesser known Klingon vessels.
What follows is the latest WIP on the Klingons side.
A D5 Battle-cruiser.
The D5-class battlecruiser was a type of starship introduced by the Klingon Empire in the 2120s that served for over a century and a half. Some of the first Klingon ships fitted with cloaking devices were D5 battlecruisers serving in the 23rd century.
These ships appeared to have been in common use by the Klingon Defense Force at the time and were much more advanced than the United Earth Starfleet NX class vessels though the Human ships were capable of surviving battle for a short amount of time. (ENT episodes: "Judgment", "Divergence")
They were armed with two large disruptor cannons located at the bottom of the central section of the main hull. These weapons were mounted on a type of turret platform which allowed the weapon to rotate and fire at enemy targets regardless of direction.
I've been revamping my PA ships lately and on a lark, decided to look at the older Klingon ships.
After a brief Google I came up with the same ol stuff, boring BOP's and D7's. Where's the talent, much less the creativity in redrawing the same Enterprise for the 5,000,000th time?
But then I came across an Axanar D6 and some variations on the D5 and I was suddenly motivated to put a D5 together that would fit into the current Axanar realm.
So here's the 1st, WIP image of the bridge.
I'm starting to get excited about this so I'm planning a D5 bridge set as well.
