Working on a Physical Mock-up of a DISCO Romulan BoP...

Yes, I know during this time frame the Feds don't deal with the Romulans, but I was thinking of a "what if" idea.
The basic premise of this idea, was to redesign the Romulan Bird of Prey and follow the idea of a "submarine" in space built around a weapon. At the moment she is a two-toned Drab Olive Green dorsal, with a Sage ventral (there is a blending on the lattice wings fading from the olive to the sage) in a ww2-esque vibe.
The breakdown is as such:
The engines are in the ring (warp or no warp for your own head cannon, and it is meant to evoke a tie-in to the Vulcans) the lattice-like wings are the "cloaking field radiators" and the plasma torpedo launcher is in the front on a brace-like structure is regulated with those spires on the sides of that brace, and a radiator is right behind it. Overall the design is a slimmer more submarine-like hull with wings.
That's all I've got so far, still a Wip( I have some finer painting to still do.
Enjoy mates:

Awesome design and very nice craftsmanship! From some angles it looks bird-like, from others I‘m seeing a crab. Very cool!

Hey thanks Michael. I did some more work on her and will post some pics a little later today.
 
The "Wings of Flame" give a good definition to it, while being reminiscent of the FASA game designs. I really like where you're taking this.

It looks great - how do you make these - are they 3d printed?

Thanks! No the ship is not 3D printed, but rather kitbashed from some Zoids kits and a holster for a register price scanner.

Lots of interesting shapes out there in plastic that get thrown away. Many pens have inserts that look like ray cannons

Thanks for the support! And you are absolutely correct about finding parts :)
 
Still an awesome model, @Atolm! Looks fierce and interesting from all angles. Once more I'm tempted to do a composite with starfield and window lights etc. :)

I thought I recognised the engine ring pylons - they appear to be legs from a Double Sworder (or other similar insect-type Zoid). And the wings look like those from a Buster Eagle. I loved Zoids when I was young!
This is a brilliant model!
 
I really like the wings. Almost looks like they would fan out when activating the cloakingfield...
