Perhaps you could try to add  a "Sobek bridge" :)

Seams to me the top is too flat. Round it out some.

Re: My first model, sniff...
I just can't shake the impression that it looks like some sort of art-deco spoon.  The general shape, down to the manta-ray-like winglets on the back, just don't fit the form of a Vasudan capship at all.  It also looks too flimsy and thin; most FS models in general have a substantial internal volume, where this one doesn't seem to.

I'm liking that design :) Although Vasudan ships don't really have wings that just stick out like that, they're generally more blended into the main body.

For the person who made the Bird of Prey comment. There were no B'rel class Klingon ships in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The three Klingon ships detroyed by V'ger were q'tInga(K'tinga) class battlecruisers.

Which is fine, because this model isn't Vasudan.

I'm kinda thinking that some of these could actually become Terran/Vasudan hybrids.  Terran/Vasudan collaborations spawned from 30 years of work of the Colossus.

Re: My first model, sniff...
Here is somewhat updated model... Most of the additions are smoothing and such which is not very visible in these shots.. The main turret is fitted but it is kinda funny looking but its keeping to the general looks of the ships though. It is modelled after some concept drawings but i think ill have to replace it..

Red thingyes are turrets.. It now has 1 multipart and 6 singleparts but ill add 1 - 2 multiparts and 4+ single parts to it still.


And one shot of the version with the added fighterbay

Re: My first model, sniff...
Hmm that main turret isn't to my liking. If you agree I'd suggest you'd cut teh barrel length in half and teh turret base itself by 1/2 to 1/3rd... It really looks flimsy anyway and strikes me as a secondary or point defense type turret anyway. :D

Love the base ship shape though!

I agree with the GTVA hybrid option though. What is "vasudany" can change over time. Plus it might make a difference after it's textured, so give it a chance.
