Star Trek Topps trading cards that never were..

Some of you folks may fondly remember the old Topps Star Trek trading cards from the late 70s with their grainy imagery with the little yellow pop-art-esque Enterprise next to the title. I have attempted to recreate the look and feel of that, albeit for an episode that never was. Many of you are no doubt familiar with the TAS episode, "The Slaver Weapon" and Larry Niven's Kzinti- I've taken my direction from that, with inspiration from the thread "Other Ships in Star Trek..." and using the AARU Dalek Invasion of Earth ship as a stand-in for a Kzinti design. I present to you "Kilkenny Cats".

Awesome!
I messed with some sketches of the TAS inspired Kzinti starships a long while ago :)

I'm glad to see that other folks like seeing stuff of this sort as well. I would enjoy seeing your design if you're willing to share them. And here's the back of the card I made.

@Atolm, I LOVE your take on the Kzinti ship. Obvious Cylon Basestar comparisons aside, it's a great idea. I'd love to see this developed further.
