Klingon Bird of Prey

Klingon Bird of Prey with wings in attack mode

The Klingon Bird of Prey is probably the most iconic starship of the Klingon Empire. I don't know what to say about it, except that it fought during the Dominion War against, well, the Dominion. It is equipped with torpedo launchers and disruptor cannons. (& probably some other stuff )

I basically recolored my first Bird of Prey REFIT and decided to refit it again. It now has a bridge section more aligned with the rest of the BoP, size-wise. I added a forward torpedo launcher and changed the disruptor cannons on the wings. So now, it actually looks like a BoP, despite the fact that it's massively out of scale.

Too bad this is out of scale- I really like it!

@Mightyman: Thanks! Yeah, unfortunately...

If you wanted that .lxf in your original post you can hit the "edit" button in the top left of the original post and add it in.

I like it a lot!

I now take it upon myself to make an in-scale Klingon Bird of Prey.

@Ant: IK, I'm just too lazy to do so.

@Talmid: Thanks! Good luck.

[TalmidCommander (PCG)]

Okay, how's this for size?

Spoiler:

It is very crude, and knowing me it's completely connected. Well I tried.

[PXRRecruit (No Affiliation)]

@Talmid: IMO, it looks perfect! I would complain that the bridge is a bit too bulky, but considering the scale you used, it fits very well! The stern and wings look great as well. I love the engines! Btw, can you post the .lxf? I want to try modifying the bridge.

[TalmidCommander (PCG)]

Ah, please do try.

I'll upload the LXF to the LEGO Gallery, and post a link to the Creation.  Note that you wont be able to view it until the mods take a look at it, which shouldn't take too long.

Now that I look at it some more, the stern actually looks one-brick-height too tall.... so that could use a bit of a redesign too.

edit: I added a redesigned version to the Creation. I'm not sure what to do with the bridge to make it look better, and still be completely connected. I just can't build a model that's not completely connected.

@Talmid: Thanks! I'll get to work very soon.

[PXRRecruit (No Affiliation)]

Here it is Talmid! I lengthened the wings, added the side hull thingys above the wings, modified the 'neck' to accommodate the bridge section, modified the bridge, and added the torp launcher. For some reason, I can't get the .lxf on TLG.   But yeah, what do you think?

[Dino27Captain (PCG)]

Both are great BOPs! And Trek had BOPs in many sizes based on on-screen evidence. Great work guys.

@Dino: Thanks! Now of only Talmid could see this...

[TetrahedronCaptain (PCG)]

Wow. Lovin' both mini-versions. Would those be to-scale, or not?

[TalmidCommander (PCG)]

@PXR: Here I am, and your version looks great! The only thing I would change would move the.... err, shoulder pads in a bit more and maybe make the rear hull a little taller, to make it look a little more well rounded in its dimensions. But that's a better BOP than I could make at its size that doesn't have weird jutting out parts and stuff.

[PXRRecruit (No Affiliation)]

@Talmid: Your BOP is fine! Okay, I'll try my best. But don't expect much.

@Mightyman: I think these are to scale.

[TetrahedronCaptain (PCG)]

It just so happens that I just finished watching Scott Manely's 76th episode of Interstellar Quest, where he lands the Jool explorer on Bop. Coincidence? I THINK SO!

[PXRRecruit (No Affiliation)]

@Mightyman: No idea what you're talking about.

[TetrahedronCaptain (PCG)]

PXR- Long story.
