Klingon BoP (in scale)

[PXRRecruit (No Affiliation)]

Sorry, no fancy GIMP picture, I'm too lazy to make five of them.

Anyway, these are the BoPs I made based on some tips that Talmid gave me. They are basically several variations of the refit I did on the amazing in-scale BoP Talmid designed.

The main difference between my original refit of Talmid's and these different variations are that the "shoulder pads" (as Talmid called them ) are closer to the middle, and the subsequent modifications I made to the stern. I ended up completely redoing the aft section.

The main (and only) difference between each of these variations is the implementation of the wing-mounted weapons. In addition, some variations have the extra wing, while others have the disruptors directly attached to the main wing. I was literally switching between Google Images and LDD to try to capture the BoP's stern hull and weapons as accurately as possible.

Var. 1:

I implemented the secondary wing/fins mounted on a 1x2 plate stick to try to capture the BoP as realistically as possible. However, the weapons are not accurate, as both are of equal length and width.

Var. 2:

This time, the weapons are captured accurately, with the top barrel longer and the tip wider, and the bottom cannon shorter and the tip the same width as the rest of the barrel. However, the fins are captured inaccurately as they are not angled. (like in the first var.)

Var. 3:

My personal favorite. This variation combines the angled fins of the first version and the realistic cannons of the second to make this BoP the most accurate out of all five.

Var. 4:

This one features inaccurate fins and cannons. The fins are not angled, and the cannons are not accurate because they are side by side, not top over bottom.

Var. 5:

This is the least accurate version. It features no fins at all and the same inaccurate cannons as the 4th version.


A stern view. When I finished redoing the back, I wanted to make sure it was connected and it was not! Thus, I had to redo all five variations. But now, it is fully connected.


The primary difference between my BoP refit and this new version is that the "shoulder pads" are more "inside" and fit into the ship as well as aligning with the wings.

So, what's your favorite version? Constructive criticism welcome! I'll try to get an .lxf up on the Lego Gallery, but I haven't been able to post anything for the past couple days due to some weird glitch. So sorry about that.

I'll post a GIMP pic I did a yesterday here, as it includes the original BoP refit.

Basically, it's a Virgo Class Frigate, called the PXS Kahill fending off two B(s)oP. As you can see, some of the beams coming from the AA guns on the Kahill got messed up (), but I'm still pretty happy with how it turned out overall.

Very impressive GIMP work there! Still lovin' the BoPs- although I was never very good with the class.

@Mightyman:Thanks! Lol BoPs are hard to make though.

[TetrahedronCaptain (PCG)]

PXR- Yeah, as is anything that small.

[TalmidCommander (PCG)]

Wow! Mirage, those are great! I can't see any way to make them better, which means you've gotten the best of me.

I actually like the look of version 5 the most, because the BoP overall looks well rounded and not extra long in any dimensions. I guess I just like well rounded things. You've done excellent work on the "shoulder pads" and the stern and everything, really!

[Dino27Captain (PCG)]

Wow.... (sheds a tear) it's beautiful... I have NEVER seen a BOP this good. It is truly a work of art! What a strange thing to say about a Klingon ship... And yet it is true.

I agree with you, Var. 3 is the best.

@Mightyman: Yep Lol.

@Talmid: Thanks very much! I can see where you're coming from with var. 5 though...

@Dino: Lol, thank you so much. For some reason, I seem to have an obsession with BoPs.

Those are awesomesauce, my friend! I don't have any comparison pics with the actual thing, but from what I remember, these are great!
