[QUOTE]Originally posted by bX: [QB] So... Looking for jobs is boring and frustrating. Practicing graphic design skills however... So I kind of refuse to let the Enterprise be 700 meters long. And to this end have been doing some scaling research. I mentioned above trying out the deck height thing: <center> [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/419/EntJJ-scaling-deckheight.gif[/IMG]</center> Again this is assuming a deck height of 3m, and that the outer rim of the saucer section comprises two decks. I found a pretty good fit with the windows with a length around 311m. This results in an Enterprise with 20 decks. The shuttle bay remains problematic, as do some of the interiors. For further verification I used some HD screen caps from the trailers to count some pixels. In that gorgeous shot with Kirk riding out to look at the Enterprise construction, there is a lot going on. Including some teensy-tiny workers out there on the scaffolding. <center>[URL=http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/419/EntJJ-scaling-pixels-earthconst.jpg] [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/419/EntJJ-scaling-pixels-earthconst800.jpg[/IMG]click me for hi-rez!![/URL] </center> I started by measuring the height of the workers, and then an adjacent feature, in this instance: the radius of the bottom of the saucer and the height of the nacelle. Assuming an average human height of 1.78 m, that put the radius around 66 m, and the height around 24 m. Back to the drawing: <center> [IMG]http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/419/EntJJ-scaling-pixelcount.gif[/IMG]</center> Which results in an Enterprise remarkably close to the original at 295 m. 19 Decks. This seems a tad dinky to me (especially considering all the shuttles we've got to cram in there!). The numbers I've come up with are hardly set in stone and of course there's ample room for error. But I do think this does tend to support the idea of our new Enterprise being a lot closer to the 300 meters than to the 700 m Monsterprise. [/QB][/QUOTE]
