I just thought I’d mention that the last few extras of the Enterprise-D bronze artisans went up for sale at Roddenberry today. There are just a tiny handful left and, like the resin extras, they’ll probably sell out within hours of having been posted, so just a heads up.
While it is a very different colorway, Keyreative has a PBT dye-sub set that uses Klingon legends. Not sure if it is something that would interest you or not, but figured I’d give a heads up anyways!
I was thinking probably something sort of intentionally kind of ugly and thus characteristically Klingon. I was thinking VF and RBC as the Signature Plastics stock colors we could use. They’re pretty evocative of Klingon aesthetics in the post-TMP era.
I’m very curious, I thought you also contemplated a red amaranth / burgundy (for example pantone 504M). But I’m confident, you have a nice touch for design. :occhiali da sole:
It’s still in the very early stages. Honestly, I’ve mostly been holding out for completion of the DSS tooling to see if we want to use that profile.
I’m planning on getting actual physical samples of whatever we come up with, so when Roddenberry offers it up for sale, people won’t have to be making a decision just based on renders.
I obviously love DSA too, but my thinking was that Klingon equipment always looks kind of dated and retro, so perhaps something a bit more sculptured would work well for a design like this.
Oh, yeah. That’s definitely Vulcan. Vulcan kind of doesn’t make sense for a keyset legend font, however, as it’s all designed to sort of intertwine in long vertical calligraphic scripts, at least the TNG era style. I think that set is using the TMP glyphs, which never really extended beyond that film other than the cast metal adornments worn on Vulcan robes (where the written intertwining script isn’t practical).
