Added some detail to the top part of the impulse engine.

Started to add more detail to the wing. The arrow is pointing to two new feathers that I might turn around. I’m just not sure how I feel about them right now.

I think they work very well. Fits perfectly with established Klingon hull designs. They appear to have a kind of layered ablative armor and what you have there definitely seems to match what's come before.
UPDATE...
I decided to keep the feathers the way they are. Just didn't want to redo it.
Decided to add a bit to this cut out.
Getting more detail added.

That's the real thing that Bill George made.

Very cool.

I’ve been busy with other things but I finally found some time to get back to work on this ship.

Just saying...
Bill George built that model, right? Do you know if he has any other study models from STIII?
Yes, Bill built it and gave it to our mutual friend Jon. Bill has at least two other study models that I know of.
I’m curious if he has the small model that was seen inside Spacedock. Not the tug shuttle (which you’ve already shown) but the thing that looks like a dumpster underneath an opening with a ramp. I can show you a screen cap if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
No, he doesn't, but I asked him about it once. Let me look through old messages I posted here because I think I explained what he said...
Ah!
It was a model of some sort of "tug" that was part of the interior model set . It may have been a design or early prototype for the merchant man vessel as I recall. —Bill George
I'm loving XFozzboute's work on the model so far, and thinking that this type and level of detailing might have been added to Bill George's model for the real deal eventually. As completed, the study model looks a bit plain for the regal role intended, although a worthy warship for the Klingons.
Do we know what George made that model out of? An all-new mold or a kitbash?
