Klingon D7 Battle Cruiser Build Blog.
| Part One |
This is Round 2's reissue of the Amt Klingon D7 Battle Cruiser I am building for the Star Trek Campaign on Kitmaker.net
I got most of the assembly work done on my Klingon D7. One thing I will say is there is a lot of sanding to be done on this one to get the 2 sides of forward boom to match up. I thought I might sand all the way through the plastic before I got them evened up.. and then I had to turn an irregular oblong hole into something more round for the photon torpedo launcher. It is taking some work but it is starting to shape up. Just a few more rough parts to fill out and now here are the photos.

First Base coat
This D7 is a bear esp on the seams. I can say there is no putty used, I hate the stuff which is prob why I almost sanded through the plastic in a spot or two.. anyways here is the base coat down, there are no painting instructions in the kit, and the internet has a couple of different answers, Some research says the model used in the series was painted a light green / light purple color. I am going to use my artistic thinking cap and hope what I think looks good.. 1st color is a very light blue.

Second color is on, every now and then I like to try something different, I'm doing my similar but not exactly like the studio models or any others I'm seen. got a couple of spots to add coverage too but so far soo good..

Accent Color Added
Did some more painting.. It turns out the Captain of this D7 thinks of himself as a Warrior's Warrior.. and being successful has added some blood red accents to his ship.. The color is a custom semi-gloss dark scarlet or as I call it Klingon Battle Red.

Decals added but waiting for final clear coat which will prob stop the sivering.
