Uh, images stored on your hard drive are not actually printed in miniature on the disk. Also, there are no tiny men in your television.

I've already got the Galactica and the Cylon Base Stars on there, though the sizes are only approximate.
Research for this project has been temporarily suspended, seeing as I'm busy returning to college right now... but I certainly won't forget it!

So now that college is more or less over, will this project be ressurected? Purdy please?

College ain't over for me until May 29, after my last exam. That's because my semester didn't start until February 10 -- Delaware uses a trimester system with a short, six-week semester in January, so the spring term runs a bit later than usual.

Well, I've finally gotten around to finishing this little project! Well, mostly, anyway. It's in readable form with no images overlapping the others. I'm very likely to be expanding it as time goes on...

Kickass!
Think you could be persuaded to chuck in Starbase 74 (for good measure) and the Independence Day city destroyers, per chance? B)

And the ID4 destroyer ships are so frickin' huge, they wouldn't even FIT on that super-huge chart I've got. Those things are 24 kilometers across, after all. On my image, that would equate to 2400 pixels!
Although I have decided to break down and make up another, larger-scale image for those absolutely mind-bogglingly-huge ships, like V'Ger, the Whale Probe, the Vorlon Planet Killer... the ID4 ships will probably go in there.

Very cool, MM. FYI, the Discovery and the Leonov are not showing up. You should think about compiling a caf�press.com poster soon. I'd pay cash money for that.

This chart is cool. Nicer than others I've seen.
One note: I think the TOS "Doomsday Machine" (aka Planet Killer) is bigger than shown. Albeit its apparent scale varied in some shots (notably when the shuttlecraft flew into it), if you go by the Constellation as it's seen flying into the machine, you can make out the approximate dimensions of the device (since the Constellation is the same size as the Enterprise). A friend and I did this back when I wrote a spec TNG script using ye old Planet Killer (in 1989). I got the numbers out of my filing cabinet:
Average thickness of hull at "maw": 128m Diameter of "maw" end: 580m Length: 4150m
So make of that what you will...

Actually, I found some blueprints for the NSEA Protector about a year ago... I've only made a rough estimate of the size based on the command module crashing into the convention at the end, but it's close enough to start with.
As for Lexx, I just borrowed that from Jeff Russell's materials, www.merzo.net ...
