[QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SoundEffect: [qb] Well you were using a shot from TV, with inherant distortions, not that it can't be used. See what you get using either shots of the model itself, or with diagrams of side/top view of the fighter.[/qb][/QUOTE]Diagrams as made popularly available are notoriously risky. Just surf to Ex Astris and count the number of times Bernd had to clean up some Fact Files or Magazine funkiness. The filming model itself (or the CGI) might be useful, but I don't know of any shots of the model. And, since the model would be photographed for me to do anything with it, it would suffer from the distortions you mention as well. However, I do not think that photographs are as imprecise a tool as you seem to be suggesting. [QUOTE]The top view shot you posted has too much light splash on the surface to even see where the cockpit area (akin to the shuttlepod) starts and ends...that'll throw the calculations off by a bit. [/QUOTE]I brightened and enlarged it to make the whole craft visible to all, rotating it slightly for ease of measure. The measurements work out the same with the pre-modified version. [/QB][/QUOTE]
