That Math Thing
I am relying heavily on Jim Mortimer's Babylon 5 Security Manual for all of my B5 measurements, and the few
scenes from different episodes which are useful to determine model scale. So if anyone out there chokes on my scales/measurements, that's where I got my data!
--Summary--
-Scratchbuilt B5 Maintence ship, scale 1/72, based on Revell-Monogram Starfury
-Scratchbuilt B5 Whitestar, scale 1/350, based on measurements from pg. 117, B5 Security Manual
-Scratchbuilt B5 Brakiri Heavy
Cruiser, scale 1/621, based on Season 5 episodes showing this ship with Centauri Vorchans
-Scratchbuilt B5 Centauri Cruiser, scale 1/800 based on Nial fghter, see below
-Agent of Gaming Minbari Nial fighter
1/770 based on measurements from pg. 78, B5 Security Manual

-------------
Minbari Nial data:
refer to page 78, B5 Security Manual. I think these sizes are wrong; the flipping thing would be bigger than a current-day F-117 Stealth fighter! (the Stealth is only 65 feet long, and even that is bigger
than an F-15!) But I'm going with the book on this:
Length: 22 meters - 72.178 feet - 866.136 inches
Width: 9.0 meters - 29.52 feet - 354.33 inches
Height: 9.0 meters - 29.52 feet - 354.33 inches
1/321/48
Length: 27.06 inchesLength: 18.04 inches
Width: 11.07 inchesWidth: 7.38 inches
Height: 11.07 inchesHeight: 7.38 inches
1/721/87 (HO scale)
Length: 12.02 inchesLength: 9.95 inches
Width: 4.92 inchesWidth: 4.07 inches
Height: 4.92 inchesHeight: 4.07 inches
1/3501/770 (Agents of Gaming)
Length: 2.47 inchesLength: 1.124 inches
Width: 1.01 inchesWidth: 0.460 inches
Height: 1.01 inchesHeight: 0.460 inches
Centauri Vorchan scale: 1/800
model measurements:
Length: 13.0 inches
Width: 18.5 inches
Height: 13.0 inches
Assumed 'actual ship' measurements
length: 264 meters = 866.14 feet= 10,393.68 inches
width: 363 meters = 1,190.94 feet = 14,291.28 inches
height: 264 meters = 866.14 feet= 10,393.68 inches
