The USS Lawpai (NCC-955) takes on a Klingon Bird of Prey!

Just finished this Battle Shot - The USS Lawpai (NCC-955) retaliates against a Klingon Bird of Prey's disruptor strafing run to devastating effect!
For this, the BOP is based on Chris Kuhn's lovely model, with some modifications and updates by me, the Okinawa-class frigates is by me, the explosions were done in Embergen, and took about 10-15 seconds to simulate, and the whole scene was rendered in 3DSMax using VRay 6 GPU on a 3090 RTX.
More info on the Okinawa-class Federation Frigate: originally it's from the old Starfleet Command games from Interplay. This particular ship is named the U.S.S. Lapwai, NCC-955. She's named after a small town local to me here in Idaho. This ship took a couple of weeks of free time to make, and I leveraged quite a bit of the work I'd done on the Shangri-La and Arges to make it much faster than I would have been able to from scratch.
Here are some 8K shots of this ship!

Thanks to the guys from the Sci-fi Yards Discord for their killer feedback and critique while building this!
I used 3dsmax 2022 and VRay 6 Beta GPU on a 3090 and 3080 to render these, with post processing and color correction done in AE using Red Giant Looks and Boris Sapphire.
8K renders took about 3-5min each.

Enjoy!
