The 300(ish) metre klingon bird of prey

[Captain Picard's Hair]

We have many more unmarked graves... and always room for one more.

So those are the "gardens" the state nickname speaks of? 8)

am still a little sensitive, as was accused of being an ''intolerant bigot'' because i softly suggested within earshot that people can integrate into a mainstream culture whilst preserving their heritage.....was bowled over at having a woman in full veil complaining that i didn't recognise her (am assuming from her eyes....) and then demanding that i didn't look at her, as such is forbidden due to the potential of arousing lustful thoughts.......(i guess if i have a fetish for net curtains).

[Mikey]

So, you should recognize people without looking at them, and now being tolerant of people who want to preserve their heritage is bigotry? Umm... OK.

although mikey, i took one for the team, as used to wear a black greatcoat, and had a fair bit of mud flinging from those who assumed i was a ''yahud''

last klingon bird of prey point from me, about two years ago,spent six hours painting up an armada of b'rels, with a white dominance and orange feathers, ala 'balance of terror' (i read the brief klingon-romulan alliance/technological exchange bit in an old edition of the encyclopaedia), and then two hours later ''enterprise'' came on, showing the klingon BoP to have been a long established klingon design, whoopsy! lol

[Captain Seafort]

Personally I'd always have said the BoP was a Klingon design, given the design of a large engineering hull, wings, and a small command hull - very similar to the D7.

That's quite some project though, spending so long repainting so many models - very impressive.

[Granitehewer]

if we ever manage a blighty ditl meet, i'll bring a few freebies.
I see your point about the BoP, its just i'm intrigued by intrigue, and would love to see more shared designs, apart from the vor'cha
