"Two related projects today, both space stations. First up was a Christmas gift from Bruce. An enormous resin space station on an asteroid and two smaller gun pods. I have put some 1/7000ish Trek Ships in for scale (ship bases are one-inch across if that helps). Bruce did the painting…"

That's pretty neat stuff. Some times the really small scales figures can better evoke the big space they're in. |

Glad you like them… Armand |

Are those ships from the TNG Coalition Microfleet sets from javelin98 on Shapeways?? If yes, they are way smaller than 1/7000 !!!
The Sovereign class is roughly 1/32,619.
The Galaxy class is roughly 1/42,800. And I just had a thought, what if the "Galaxy" is actually an "Ambassador"?
I don't have that already figured out, I'm going to have to look up how big an Ambassador class is supposed to be. |

Yeah, those are mine! And they aren't scaled consistently; the point was to get them to fit on the original paper hex maps. I've just uploaded them to cults3d in case anyone wants the STLs. link |

Hey javelin98, if I wasn't broke I would be contacting you about maybe rescaling at least the TNG era Fed microfleets to be more consistent in scale with each other. Maybe leave the Defiant at 1/15,000 and make everything else 1/30,000 ? Oh, and what class of ship is the Carrier? Thanks!! and Tango01, I wasn't trying to be a butthead, just letting you know you were off on the scale. That way if you purchase any ships that are 1/7,000 you won't go "Why are they so insanely BIG?!?!" A 1/7,000 Sovereign class is supposed to be about 98mm in length, not 21mm. |

Thanks for the mention… but I only copy the original tittle of the thread…
