What do you mean, none?

We come to a consensus that Defiant size is "small", and its length is "short" [Big Grin]

Ok - we've figured out how many feet the Saber is, but how many meters long is the Sabre?

I never knew so many people in this room are size queens.

Yes: he has shadowy "contacts" and managed to get the CGI panels for the Steamrunner, Excelsior, Sabre and Akira to use as a template for making the physical models.
Back then, he was contracted to make masters for a "Paramount store" but the idea fell apart and he decided to go into business for himself.

That's the story I was told at least.

All I know is that I managed to get the Akira panel scan to make my 2500th physical model accurate as possible.

That makes me happy. [Smile]

An improvment over the older version that you Photoshopped last year, no?

Lookie- two of my pretty Sabres are there as well!

Very nice - you got the 'panels'??? Which are what exactly??? For the Sabre too?

I guess the person never got the panels for the Norway?

Easy, get Mojo to measure the actual CG models. You cant deny that.

All I got is the panels for the Akira- just black silouettes that were used to make vinyl masters for the 1400th model.

I dont have anything on the other ships.

I think we can safely ignore the statement comparing the Saber to the Galaxy saucer. It's just the typical way how the magazine paraphrases specs - this time the definitely wrong specs in the DS9TM.

Ug.
I was just skimming the STTM issue where they attempted a scale comparison chart of starfleet ships.
Terrible.

Not only dont their sizes make sense from the scale of the lifeboats and windows, many of the ships themslves are wildlt inaccurrate (the Bozeman and Saratoga in particular).

I guess they just did not have access to anyone who might know. [Roll Eyes]

Or the internet. [Big Grin]
