No, the Hood was 1703, this is new (though the Hood was probably the intent at the time.) A quick search at Memory Beta shows 1707 was used for the USS Ranger in a few of the old Academy games, make of that what you will.
I wonder what those other three ships are supposed to be. They look a little small for Mirandas, but then I suppose it's just a graphic and the Excelsior isn't to scale either. Even still it won't fit through those doors.
Also an Ent-E bridge schematic, which some may find useful. I can't remember if blueprints of the bridge set have been printed in any books over the years.

No, Johnny's right. It's the engineering section of a Klingon battlecruiser.

This week they have the San Francisco Yards, but they're in a real mess. I thought they restored and modified the model for Generations, but judging from this, I thought wrong. That or the parts that are for sale are what was removed and replaced with new parts for GEN.

Very interesting. I'm more interested in the Archer model, because we can use the dimensions (33 X 27 X 6 inches) to extrapolate the size of the ship the model was built for. Anyone got an estimate on how big those pilots are supposed to be?

Ugh. So glad they didn't use those.

Uhh...I'm guessing the size of a man. That'd just, y'know, a wild guess.

Hmm, does anyone know if those are regular model pilots are that you and me could purchase in any model shop?
My first guess is was that those are 1:16 scale pilots, because a rough comparison between shoulder width and model beam gave me ~4 cm which is twice the width of my car model driver seats (1:32). A 1.80 m person would be 11.25 cm high. However this could be a bit too large if the model has a draft of 15 cm and the cabin is obviously not that high.
Also the detail of the figures speaks a bit more for a smaller scale which would be 1:32. For which I think I would settle. So: Length: 21.95 m Beam: 26.82 m Draft: 4.88 m
