In Response To: Re: Hey SoundEffect... (Stephen L. (SoundEffect))


: Yes. With more views/info on the aircraft carrier, I'd love to build a model

: of a fighter in the art book is awesome as well. I'm at work and don't
: have the book with me, but I did a few quick verifications and I think the
: Carrier is in scale with the UNSC frigate on the page as well...the
: carrier's monstrous!

Hmm, well if we assume that to be the case and taking a few measurements, by my calculations that would make the carrier about 768 metres long which is almost exactly double the Nimitz-class carriers at 332.8m long.
It would also make the aircraft on deck about 38m long.

Certainly possible and in-keeping with the description of them being gigantic, but I'm not sure they actually are to scale because of some minor details such as what appear to be windows and especially what appear to be railings on various parts of the carrier.
If they are to scale, than those railings would have to be at least 2 metres high and people could just walk right under them, lol.
Either way, nice little quick study though.
