..... but despite all these pretty pictures, we still don't know if an Oliphaunt from The Two Towers is tall enough to hump an Imperial AT-AT ...

Quote from: WhichDawg on October 10, 2013, 05:32:18 AMwow cool Lynn LeFey and COOL! tell tell more more! Uhh... I'm a nerd, and a Browncoat, and a fan of the Serenity RPG. I was doing a bunch of fan stuff, and making 3d ship models for the ships in the movie 'Serenity', and posting stats for them on fan boards, and MWP (the company doing the game) hired me to do the 'spaceships' portion of the supplement to the RPG, called 'Six-Shooters and Spaceships'. I had a big chunk of the stuff done already, and was able to write/assemble half of that book in about 2 weeks.I got to name several ships in the Alliance fleet, and a few Reaver ships, etc. and 'canonize' a few ships I invented whole cloth. And, maybe most cool, all of the players in my game group got their characters published as the crew of one of the ships in the book, the 'CanTankerous'.Part of the process of building the models was excruciating level of analysis of film evidence. And part of that is trying to establish scale reference. It just so happens that there are very few perfect scale references that can be drawn, but Longbow-to-Firefly, Crete-to-Firefly, and Longbow-to-Victoria can all be done to a pretty high degree of accuracy. His measurements on the Crete are 'close enough' to mine that I wouldn't argue them. The Longbow is off by a fair amount. The Tohoku is DEAD wrong. Their scales look about like this (rough model of Tohoku, sorry)(Image removed from quote.)
the question is, what scale?
