Galactica & Enterprise

[EJD1984]

Has anyone created a size comparasion picture(s) of the Galactica and any of the incarnations of the Enterprise (NCC-1701)?

I've done a rough "guesstimate", and just curious if I'm close.

It shouldn't be too hard to create a size comparison chart for those ships, since their sizes are fairly well known. Why don't you show us what you've made?

It's not really a chart I'm looking for, more of a few good renders.

Here's a few pics of the comparison I did. I haven't done any rendering yet. I primarily use Pro Engineer, and with the new Wildfire version, the photo render package has changed substantially, and I haven't have the time to really dig into it and do any photo renders (background, reflections......etc).

Something like these Renders is what I'm asking about. (Obviously minus a Galactica cutaway...lol)

You've scaled Galactica way too small. Depending on which source you use, Galactica is 1414 meters long or 1438 meters long. The Enterprise is only 289 meters long.

I got these dimensions from this fourm posting I found online. It sounded/looked fairly accurate.

Battlestar
Width (Pods out) 536.84m (Pods In) 352.34m
Engines Max 359.38m Head Max 334.58m
Length: Front (Main body) 730.65m (Antenee) 766.04m Back 672.6m
(using the center of the two arms as the middle)
Height (Armor/Mainbody) 181.825m (Details) 183.315m

Basestar
Width: 1030.69m
Length: 856.1m (two arm side) + 1039.87m (single arm side)
Height: 132.586m (Each Piece), 265.172m Total

IMPORTANT NOTE: These [next ones] are from the CGI models NOT the fullsize props. Although measurements etc. where taken of the full size props and the CGIs made from that, it doesn't mean they match 100%

Raptor
Width: 5.472m
Length: (Main Body) 8.488m, (with Front Equipment) 8.694m
Height: 3.5695m

Viper Mk2
Width: 4.7168m
Length: 8.4082m
Height: 2.7247m

Viper Mk7
Width: 5.61m
Length: 9.8643m
Height: 2.9508m

And it is accurate, but you used it incorrectly. None of those numbers in the post are the total length. From this:

Length: Front (Main body) 730.65m (Antenee) 766.04m Back 672.6m
(using the center of the two arms as the middle)

you should use 766.04 + 672.6 = 1438.64m as the total length starting from the tip of the antennae.

How this? Just did a quick rescale.

Much better.
