OK does this include the big ship from Valiant that was supposed to be as big as three Galaxy class ships?

if thats the big one, I don't think the Jemmie bug is that big...

No, the big one is way bigger. The left one is the standard battleship, the middle one is the seldom seen v-wing cruiser.

OK, thanks, and actually, looking at the 'bug' pictures on the other thread - and looking at the windows - assuming the are roughly the DS9 standard windows - i.e. about one person to two people can look through them, I would say 125m is pretty good for the bug length, that is in keeping with what I can picture as 100m - i.e. the running track at my old school - its a big help when you can picture say a dominion bug coming to land on the oval...

Does the middle one actually look different than the left one? Otherwise I would have a problem an start a new scaling discussion...

Dominion ships. What fun.

The battlecruiser is sometimes ~700m, and sometimes ~300m. The V-ship is also ~300.

The battleship, of course, is supposedly ~1200m.

The bug is ~93m on the show.

What is this V-ship? Is that the same as the battlecruiser? I think the battlecruiser is like 650m, the battleship (from "Valiant") about 1500m and the bug about 100m.

So the biggie is bigger than a Galaxy, and the small is about the size of a Galor?

The V-ship is here and here. This is the only close-up I know up, from "In Purgatory's Shadow." Notice the wing structure...it's very different from the regular battlecruiser.

IIRC, it was an early version of the battlecruiser that they had lying around, so they threw it in when they needed some background ships...

Ladies and gentlemen, exhibit "A".

Painstakingly handscanned [poorly] by yours truly [to an insane enlargement level].

Note the "inverse Bolian" ridge down the middle, absent in the regular battlecruiser, as well as the [proportionally] larger upper nacelle-thingies, and of course longer, more definately-slanted wings.
