1/650 NCC-1701

Cool!  I just picked up the original Klingon battle cruiser which has absolutely zero panel lines and no raised artistically inspired detail.  I am thinking about scribing in some realistic panel lines without the crazy surfaces of the more recent moldings.

 

Then I'll weather the heck out of it.

1/350, I believe. Had a chance to buy one of these for $80 a few years ago, but didn't have the cash! They're like, millions of dollars now.

If you're referring to this kit, you'll probably be annoyed, but my roommate bought three of these a couple of years back,... for $20 each. He kept one, gave one to me, and the third went to his brother.

D-7 in 350? I built the K’Tinga….they did the D-7 too?

Oops! You are right, I was thinking of the K’Tinga. It was evolved from the D-7, so I think of it as such.

Someone is going to do a short-run resin TOS D-7 in 1/350, though.: https://www.nicenmodeldesigns.com/1-350-star-trek-original-series-klingon-d7-battle-cruiser.html

The smaller kit is ages old, here are some fixes I did to it. I wont be correcting everything but some things I cant let go.

 

There were some odd tooling depressions in the saucer section, these were filled and then new sensor bands re scribed.

Some improvement to the engines...the cradle that rest underneath the front of engines had some bad gaps to sort out with card and putty.

 

The saw tooth rings need heavy block sanding to look right and transition to the poorly fitting cap. In primer they came out darn good!
