Sorry, I was implying capital ships-- Fighters, etc, you definitely have a
point with the figures. But for ships like ISD's, SSD, Mon Cal Cruisers,
Rebel Transports, Blockade Runner, etc, I just can't imagine that the models
were intentionally designed on similar consistant scales-- IE that ALL ship
models were created on one of 3 specifically designed scales or something. I
can imagine them trying to decide while building how big the intended model
scale should be, but not trying to be consistant from model to model when it
comes to the capital ships...

I've emailed him questions all of twice with no response (admittedly not
that much)-- and given that his site isn't exactly constantly updated, I
kinda wonder if the email address listed has since been abandoned... Dunno
though...

It's definitely useful for lots of stuff. As long as you follow what he's
saying and make sure he's not ignoring something obvious and that his
sources are backed up accurately (or accounted for), it's well worth a read.
