Re: Eastern Alliance Destroyer, I put this schematic together a few years back - assuming that an average male human is about 6 ft tall, I would estimate the Destroyer to be about 270 - 300ft long and about 45-50ft high.
And IIRC, Larson said that the Galactica was always supposed to be "one nautical mile" long, which roughly equates to approximately 6,076 feet. I think the Destroyer could fit in the bay without up-scaling. It would be tight, especially with the landing gear down, but it should fit. |
137th Gebirg we have been discussing this very subject on this thread
http://www.colonialfleets.com/forums...ad.php?t=17741
and I scaled Folkrm Galactica model with I believe is very very close to the physical model.
and I found the entrance is roughly 60ft approx so at the 45 to 50 ft tall its should fit, but as you say a tight one.
I am going to be building in the coming weeks the Eastern Alliance Destroyer based on your drawing
so I will use the scales you mention to start
