An
AMT Star Trek Klingon
Heavy Cruiser. Done with some weathering of colored chalks
over a painted green base.
The
kit about a foot long. Not a bad kit, but simple. The most
appealing thing for me is probably the green color,which is
unusual, and a new challenge to weather.

Star
Trek Fan Collective - Klingon - The fourth volume of the Star
Trek Fan Collective series tackles the Federation's arch-enemies-turned-sometimes-allies,
the Klingons. It begins in chronological order with Enterprise's
premiere episode, "Broken Bow." A new starship, Enterprise
NX-01, is rushed into service when a Klingon crash-lands on Earth
and Starfleet decides to return him to his home world. Then skip
to two episodes of the Original Series, "Errand of Mercy"
and "The Trouble with Tribbles," which focus on the
conflicts between the Federation and the Klingons. But the two
factions had begun working together by the time of The Next Generation.
In "A Matter of Honor," Riker (Jonathan Frakes) spends
some time serving aboard a Klingon ship, and his Enterprise shipmate,
Worf (Michael Dorn), delves deep into his Klingon culture along
with his brother Kurn (Tony Todd) in "Sins of the Father."
Then in the two-part "Redemption," a bridge between
the fourth and fifth seasons, the Klingon empire teeters on the
brink of civil war. Worf arrived at the space station Deep Space
Nine when the Klingons offer to join the Federation in the Dominion
war in "The Way of the Warrior." There he remained for
"The Sword of Kahless," in which the search for a mythical
artifact turns into a very real struggle for power. Last are DS9's
humor classic "Trials and Tribble-ations," followed
by Voyager's "Barge of the Dead," in which B'Elanna
Torres (Roxann Dawson) has visions of the Klingon afterlife.
