Jeff Russel has updated his Starship Dimension's page with new TV shows and a pic of Spaceship 1 as well.

Basically Jeff has collected side views of various Sci-Fi ships from TV and movies and compiled them all on to one site with RL objects for size comparison. The ships are divided among 6 pages with the following pixel per meter ratio.

10x = 10 pixels per meter (has a 747, Spaceship 1, VW and Jeff for real world reference)

1x = each pixel is a meter (has 747, Hindenburg, B2, F117, Yamato BB, and various building for reference)

-2x = is also 1 pixel per meter, but with a smaller grid pattern to fit larger ships

-10x = each pixel is 10 meters (has the RL objects from the 1x page for reference)

-100x = each pixel is 100 meters (Phobos is provided as a reference)

-2000x = each pixel is 2000 meters (Phobos and the Moon provided as a reference)


The only nit I have is that the Whitestar from Babylon 5 should really be ~268 meters long when it is compared to an Omega destroyer.

The Star Trek shuttles are shown more streamlined than they are on the show. The actual props (or is everything CGI these days?) have a decidedly chunky appearence, and probably would not fair well in atmosphere.

One real spaceship I never saw a picture of was the one that the Chinese taikonaut chappie flew in last year.

I had a feeling it was rather cribbed from the old Soyuz design but I could be wrong.

Anyone gotta link?
