I started this project about 10yrs ago and recently decided it was time to finish it.

The core of this ship started off as a Star Wars Droid on STAP model chopped, slashed and rearranged with a few other pieces I added from my bits box. It all actually came together pretty naturally. As soon as I started making it I was like "this looks like some evil space fish" hence the "anglerfish" name. At the time I wasn't fully thinking it was going to be Romulan, but it just ended up that way since Romulans are my fav Trek aliens. Since this didn't look like a battleship to me I decided to make it a science vessel instead which is why I added the huge viewports where the "eyes" are. I figured a double level viewport where scientists can observe interstellar phenomena would be cool.

I spent hours carefully masking and measuring the decals. I designed them in Adobe Illustrator and printed them on Micro-mark decal film. Some JT Graphics Romulan emblems and script finished off the insignia.

Here's a Romulan D-7 Stormbird I made using a Klingon D-7 From the AMT starship set and some decals from JT Graphics. I heavily modified the AMT kit in an attempt to get rid of all the glaring errors and imperfections. Some remain, but it is still way more accurate than it was and it compliments the rest of my 1400 fleet well.

Soon there will be a Klingon D-7 and a D-10 to match this ship.

Here's a lovely little kit I built up from Odyssey Slipways; The Romulan Winged Defender based off the schematics from the old Trek Fasa game. I found a good CGI render online that I used as a paint reference and also a touch of 70's color aesthetic dubbed "Shag Rug" by my Fiance. The few decals were clipped from a JT Graphics sheet I had laying around.

Here's my Original Series Romulan Bird of Prey.
The model started out as the ROM BOP from the 1976 AMT 3 Piece Ship Set then it was extremely modified to fix some glaring errors in the original kit.

The front Nacelle Bussard Collectors were chopped off and replaced with more accurate half spheres. The rear curve was increased and then the rear tail fin was modified accordingly. Dorsal panels were added, windows drilled out, a front disruptor was sculpted and the decals were replaced with JT graphics decals.

Here's some painted pics of my Romulan Science Vessel. I decided to add a 1400 scale Scout Vessel from Federation Models to the base to better illustrate the size difference.

This is a project I've wanted to do for a long time. Build the Romulan Science Vessel from the Star Trek Next Gen episode "The Next Phase".

The actual Studio model of this ship was a re-dress of the Romulan Scout SHip from the episode "The Defector". The scout ship was intended to be a little larger than a federation runabout, where as the Science Vessel according to the script was about half the length of the enterprise, placing it at around 300m.

What I decided to do was use Federation Models 1:537 scale Scout Vessel Kit and modify it to represent a 1/400 scale science vessel. The federation models ship is about 6" long when built, however with the modification made to the kit my Science vessel comes to about 8", 1" shy of what it's "supposed" to be. But then again there never were any written specs on it that I have. So it's good enough for me.

The main changes made were as follows: The original cockpit was sawed off and replaced with a new nose cone made from sheet styrene and some Warhammer Battlefleet Gothic bits. the rear wing areas were filled in in some spots to more accurately match the studio model. The sides of the neck area were fleshed out with styrene shapes and a rear fin was made form styrene bits and a Warhammer 40k flying base sawed in half and glued together. It worked out more perfectly than I could have hoped for.

Next on the to do list. Finish making custom decals for all the "greeble" areas on the top and bottom of the wings as well as the rear wings and paint the sucker.
