“If/when it's appropriate, you could also make use of {-Hom}.”

Indeed.  From the Hallmark BOP commercial (1994):

GOWRON:   vaj malopmeH tlhIHvaD nob SaSuqpu'.
           tlhIngan toQDujHom 'oH.
           So to celebrate, I've gotten you all a gift.
           It's a Klingon Bird-of-Prey ornament.

CREWMAN 1: toQDujna' rurchu'!
           It looks so real!

CREWMAN 2: Qapqu' wovmoHbogh janHommey!
           It even has working lights!
Voragh

 Okrand's words:

There's no noun Maltz is aware of like "miniature" (small model or
version of something).  {machqu'} is fine, but if you want to avoid it,
you could use the verb {nu'} which means something like "be particularly
small" and is often used of things that are smaller than the usual or
expected size. In general, things that are {nu'} are smaller than those
that are {mach} or even {machqu'} — but there's no hard line or specific
rule. If/when it's appropriate, you could also make use of {-Hom}.
