Relative sizes of STAR TREK and STAR WARS ships
Friday, November 27, 2009
It's interesting to see that a Next Generation-era Klingon Bird of Prey looks like it could probably take out an AT-AT with one shot, while the USS Defiant looks outmatched by the rebel ship from the opening scenes of the first Star Wars film.
The ships are unlabeled, but if you're hardcore geek you'll recognize most of them on sight. A few of them are just too small though, they're little gray dots. I'm not sure what the big doorknob-like ship is in the upper right of the top picture. I presume it's something from the Star Wars prequels; I've worked hard to repress most of my memories of those movies.

That doorknob thing is a Trek Starbase!
i was about to say the same thing. id think that was obvious. id like to know the scales these models were built at, and what 3D modeling sofware andhard ware was used to make them.
I know what a flippin' Starbase looks like, Mr. Smart Guy! But if it's supposed to look like this (http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Tech/Industry/Starbase.jpg) why is it missing so much detail compared to the other ships in this image, and why is it on its side? Yeah, now that you mention it, I guess that's probably what the model is supposed to be... But I'd hardly call it obvious.
Pretty cool, the sculptor did an amzaing job. But they can't be all of the same scale. Slave 1 is bigger than the Falcon!!
They are indeed at the same exact scale relitive to one another, the star base is so low res because it was the only one I could find, I had it vertical originally but it was not easy to get in frame without having to pull back so far that the smaller stuff was unrecognizable. The original shot was labeled with credits given to the people who made the meshes, I only arranged and scaled them in 3d studio Max.
Why would slave 1 be bigger than the falcon? Slave 1 holds 2 people, falcon holds at least 6 with gun turrets and cargo holds.
