From left to right:
C8, C7, D7, D6, F5
A bit dark for my tastes, should show detail painting well if light colors are used ---- |

Physically - there is no difference between the two minis. To make an "anatomically correct" D6, you need to file off (or paint over) the un-needed phaser mounts.
Most people just paint them as is and then say, "This one's a D7, that one's a D6". _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro

Don't fret over the green, I painted my Hydrans in Tamiya Sea Blue which came out a darker green than what you have --- |

Personally, I always thought the Klingons should be pretty gray with a HINT of green in the coloration. (And, Romulans, if you're going for the Trek look, should have a more pronounced Green-Gray to them).
As such, they look a little too... Micro-Machiney for my tastes. But opinons and mileage will vary. |

Nice green color. Taking on a sort of TMP/TNG Klingon Bird of Prey color scheme. Let us know when you've got the details on there. _________________ O.G. OPTIMUS

AS others on the board can attest... I've never been a big fan of green Klingons, as my paltry quantity of storm grey Klinks will show...
But, that being said... the minis in question are yours and if you're happy with the green - then it's exactly the right shade.
Rock on... now to get them finished and photo'ed. _________________ Commander, Battlegroup Murfreesboro
