ACTA: SF Klingon Dreadnought conversion - WIP

[Da Boss]

Soo picked up a few ships ebay and as people may know I do like to convert ships....and share / inflict them on others!

So my latest is a Klingon Dreadnought - Devourer class - work in progress

 

[Da Boss]

Engines are not glued - just looking at what looks better

 

[Drummer]

Have you thought about using a saw to cut off the warp engines and remount in the proper facing?

I agree with Bill here. Keep the alignment but turn the engines around.

This looks very cool! Scary as hell.

 

[Da Boss]

Thanks - I might have a look at cutting off the "exhaust?" bit and swapping to the other end - with a bit of work might work

Chopping the entire engine off its strut looks more risky

 

[JohnDW]

Other than the crystal 'exhaust' there is also the front 'metal rim' that wraps around, so there's some detail on both ends of the engine that give it a direction.

Is this a class that you created? or is it one that already exists?

 

[Da Boss]

Made up - just fiddling with the bits - I have one Klingon Dreadnought already made up.

Yeah I saw the metal rim - can't transfer that bit so might have to be lost with the "new model" engines I'll stick that in the fluff.........

Likely stick it in my alt universe pack when I update that with the new rules

 

[Rambler]

The band that wraps around the front of the nacelles is the Disruptor Banks. Maybe you can leave that bit off it won't hurt anything.

Not my cup of tea but definatly an interesting kit bash.

 

[Da Boss]

Thanks for the info

Like your idea a lot DB, you definitely need to swap the engines direction somehow. Your idea off cutting off the "front" section and repositioning bsck to the rear is indeed the least risk approach. As for the wrap around front sections, a very basic shape that i am sure you could recreate in green stuff.

Well done
