I'm seeking the measurements for the Battlestar, Viper, Cylon Raider and Basestar, and the Colonial shuttle.

From what I've gathered, these measurements have been in heated debate for yahrens...

I need these from a model standpoint. So far I've gotten the following lengths:

Basestar: 1768 meters (but I thought they were bigger than Battlestars)
Battlestar: 1853 meters
Colonial Shuttle: 20 meters
Raider: 13.8 meters
Viper: 8.85 meters

I really don't think these values work, though. The models just don't look right next to each other. The viper is about as long as the shuttle... which doesn't look right at all. I kinda want them all to be scaled correctly.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
The link BST give will give you some ideas of the scale.

Basestar: 1768 meters
Battlestar: 1853 meters : 6080ft about the right scale from my efforts
Colonial Shuttle: 20 meters: (Wrong ...Shuttle is about 33.528 m or 110ft)
Raider: 13.8 meters: ( also about right)
Viper: 8.85 meters: 29ft (about right)
