[QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Dax: [qb] But surely we can accept the structure of the physical studio miniature as the baseline[/qb][/QUOTE]Yes, in and of itself. However, the Defiant is a 3-foot long model. The DS9 station is a 6-foot diameter model. They have to be resized on screen to get them to look their appropriate scales. Of all the measurements we could take to figure out ship sizes, the one that inherently is the most error prone, is where you have two ships in a shot where neither was physically filmed together nor exist at the same scale to begin with. It's a good approximation, but it's not the final word. Look at the shot of the ships at the station on Boris' site. From that shot alone, the Nebula Class is too small to be closer to us than the station is. The saucer width of the Nebula is identical to the length of the Excelsior: 467m. If you could rotate the excelsior about it would be too long to fit under the saucer exactly. So the Nebula Class isn't properly scaled to the station in that shot; it should appear bigger.
