Description

I don't often pay any attention to scale, but I was sitting here bored, thinking about my next model and wondered just how big my ships are. I took the latest one and put it in Carrara which has real world scaling. but what to measure it against. I can see the windows, so took a deck height of about 12 feet. Then I needed some known quantity to give it a scale. So, I loaded up my Enterprise model. Assuming that Big E (which turns out to not be very big) is around 950 feet (depending which website you look at), I scaled my ship to 5250 feet long!! So here is a render of the Enterprise flying along side my ship. Hard to tell from here, but I placed it so the Enterprise Bridge is along side the big ships bridge. Next to scale it against a Super Star Destroyer (57362 feet!!)

Great looking sci-fi picture. It does make sense that starships would be huge. People would spend a lot of time on them, and they'd need a whole lot of fuel. And if you're going to all the effort to go to another star or planet, you might as well bring along enough stuff to make it worth the trip. Nice job on this picture and model work.
