(...) Wowzers! I need to go through those charts:) But I did a quick graphic that seems to indicate that Enterprise is too big, or the ISD is too small.

(...) And your scale's off. the ISD is 1600 meters, the Enterprise under 700, so the ISD should be over twice as long. Adrian -- www.brickfrenzy.com (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

(...) Using the picture Joe posted, I redid the scales. 1600/641 = ~2.496. With that in mind, I think this picture is a little more on scale. (URL) Spears MichLUG - (URL) Page - (URL) (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)

(...) Joe, Given the dimensions Adrian posted earlier, I'd say one of your graphics is the wrong size. He's got the ISD at 1600 meters, NCC1701D at 641 meters, just over 40% as long. James (22 years ago, 16-Oct-02, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.space)
