Now that's what I am talking about!!
The front section is terriffic.
The "grill" on the leading edge of the aft section I am *not* loving.
I am interested on how you are going to detail the stern and where you are putting the shuttle bay in relation to the impluse engines (unless the shuttle bay goes on the bottom?)

Holy Cow ... For some reason, I'd have never thought of something as simple as chopping a saucer to get that shape for the primary hull ... and it works so well for a perfectly natural look ... well done! Bravo! JM.

BTW: Atra -> you need to move this to the top of your que! No he doesn't. Don't get me wrong; it's a really neat model, but folks have been waiting for the Klingon frigates and Fed stations for months. As for the model, it is pretty nifty, but I would at least try to make the bridge section look a little less TMP. It was really the bridge and the edge of the saucer that made me decide the NX model had to be Phase Two or later rather than Pre-TOS.

As good as these TOS-R/SFB Fed ships are we need more adversaries to play against... KF

Ultimately, Atra controls the creation of these models, but if I were allowed a preference, I'd like to see the Klinks that Atra has on the board receive attention sooner than this model.

Atra is an artist, and he is directed by Muse. Let him work on what he wants, when he wants, and overall you will get better models.

I mean no disrespect to him at all. IMHO however, the current trend of model makers is to put out hundreds of Federation ships and very few non-POST TNG non-Fed ships and even fewer auxilliary/support or non-warships. What's even MORE frustrating besides waiting six months to see a model released is that Atrahasis is one of only three active model makers I am aware of that have regularly made Klingon/Romulan ships at all. Atra, Terradyhne and Wicked Zombie are even more elite because thay have made non-TOS/SFB Klingons and Romulans. The FASA to SFC collection would not have been possible without those non-federation ships. I mean what the heck is the point in having the latest uber cool fed model if you dont have equally cool non-federation ships to play against... Again, I mean no disrespect for Atra and I know this is a hobby for him and other model makers. It's like opening a Christmas present to read about a new non-Federation or auxilliary base/support ship by him. Only, I'd like to to find that they get finished and released before the next gee, golly, wiz , SFB Fed ship gets pushed to the top. Those SFB Klingon/Tholian/Romulan mobile bases will be awesome to play but I see the SFB OCL being released long before them... Just ranting. I apologize for venting here. If I didn't LOVE his work, I wouldn't bother writing about my addiction to his models at all. Best wishes, KF

The minute he says, "shut up, you're getting obnoxious," I for one will shut up. Besides, if artists have no other motivation than muse, we might end up with lots and lots of unfinished projects, like Schtupp's carrier.

Not much point in being an artist if you don't have fans screaming: MORE! LOL

Well. . . I just get excited to see such a cool rendition of a much neglected ship: The Province Class Light Cruiser!
Now, I know Sir Mudd just released one, but honestly that beauty has enough poetic license to be another ship! (and it is in my ship list. . .along with the Azel and his recent Caracal (pardon spelling) command cruiser.
So. . I AM SCREAMING MORE! MORE! MORE!
But. . .Klingon frigates? You say? Oooohhh. someone remind me? You mean something that is not a BOP varient? (drool). Wow. wow. wow.
