Friday's Child Klingon starship...

[atolm]

So we all know the bane that is the "starship" shown in the TOS episode "Friday's Child".
Okay, we are all familiar with these two shots (I designated them Type I and Type II respectively:
Type I


Type II


Now looking at those two, you'll notice that Type I has an angular shape while Type II has a more streamline shape...this is how I saw those (look at the top left-hand corner):


From Type I (I chose that one to work with as it to me looks more like something constructed rather than poured) I noticed that the shape in the screenshots could be a 3/4 view showing dorsal-side and maybe aft (that is if the ship was going on an angle upward from left to right. From that I came up with possible hull shapes that you see above, and I then further refined to these:


From that to this:


Now I do know I have a penchant for asymmetry, but I believe that front spire may be a sensor probe of some type, rather than hull. I also believe the asymmetry holds up to the images strong than a structure in the middle.
Just my two cents on the matter.

Now compare the original screen shot to this which was made with the ship I posted:


And lastly, some line work to further refine the proposed design:

Very Awesome and best in 50+ years i seen of fan versions of this

[brickwall]

Atolm, you are a genius! Sheer genius!

Now somebody cook up the stats and backstory on this class of scout!

[SITZKRIEG!]

A cool interpretation of a largely forgotten canon ship! Whether on purpose or happy accident, I think it actually jives well with the later FASA Klingon angular designs.

Honestly, my rewatch of TOS is long overdue as the last time I probably saw the series from beginning to end was as a kid in the 80s on daily reruns.

Thanks bro, and as Kirk would say, "Get to it mister."

I like the interpretation - well done, sir!

Thank you sir

I admit it; - I loved this strange, obscure, "all-new" ship!!!

I gave it technical and historical data; - calling it the "Hov'lIy" class, and if you search Deviantart and my older websites and yahoogroups material, you will find stuff on the K-9 Scout Ship!

Hey sorry for the very late reply... dunno how that happened. Regardless, I was not able find anything that you mentioned... unfortunately.

I had, in 2006.

[Meteo Ascension]

Yes Atolm, I know.

I can reproduce the data instantly; - will do that after I eat a Burger.

The K-9 "Hov'lIy" is under a hundred meters in length, with a crew of 9; - it can land, has a MPR of 2/1 and a total of 20 power units, with two KWB-1s and one KIC-1, with two forward KD-2s, and a KSB with a SPR of 1/1 and a Max Power of 9. 93 were built and served starting in 2239, and the Class was retired in 2269, due to it being, like the K-17, piss-poor as a combatant, with the K-22 replacing it.

The K-9 Hov'lIy, run through Dezgo.
