Re: Klingon K'T'Inga Class Battle Cruiser
That looks spectacular Carlos! Tremendous job! I like the planetary base too.
One idea for the impulse engines: Paint them a bright yellow first; preferably a gloss. Then do a wash of a dark orange over it so that it tints the yellow and pools in the edges and corners; thus giving it a fading effect on the sides and corners. That just might work.

Re: Klingon K'T'Inga Class Battle Cruiser
Thanks guys.
Mark, I was thinking something along those lines, although using clear red. In the movies those tend to be more reddish/pinkish, than yellow orange... BTW, we missed you at IPMS last night...

Re: Klingon K'T'Inga Class Battle Cruiser
Thanks Carlos. That sounds like a good color combination too.
I hate that I missed IPMS too; just feeling sick and thought it best not to go. It seems to be a cold or possibly a mild flu. I still may get some bench time.

She is a good looking craft! Been following faithfully.

Great work Stik 
IMHO a matt coat was better for final coat but good

Thanks BSY. It was a toss up for me between the Humbrol Satin or Matt coat. But their Matt coat tones everything WAY down...
