Is anybody ever going to do a fully-corrected Niagara drawing?

[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] I don't think the assertion that the [i]Niagara[/i] parts came from the "3-foot [i]Ambassador[/i]" and "2-foot [i]Galaxy[/i]" is true. For one thing, the [i]Ambassador[/i] studio model was 41", which is closer to 3.5 feet. And a two-foot [i]Galaxy[/i]'s nacelles would be way too tiny compared to that. Or even to a 3-footer, for that matter. I would guess the nacelles had to come from the 4-foot [i]Galaxy[/i]. As I understand, it was built for the third season, so wouldn't it have been around by the time of the filming of the TBoBW graveyard scene? Even if it wasn't completely finished, the mold could still have been already in existence. Now, the ratio between a 48-inch [i]Galaxy[/i] and a 41-inch [i]Ambassador[/i] is about 1.17:1. The ratio between a 643m [i]Galaxy[/i] and a 526m [i]Ambassador[/i] is about 1.22:1. So, if we assume the [i]Niagara[/i] has a normal [i]Ambassador[/i] sec. hull, the nacelles are about 96% the size of normal [i]Galaxy[/i] nacelles. So, if we wanted to, I suppose we could say that the model was actually inaccurate, and the [i]Niagara[/i] has both normal [i]Galaxy[/i] nacelles and a normal [i]Ambassador[/i] sec. hull.
