CRAFT COMPARISONS

Throughout the next few pages I will attempt to finally come to a definitive conclusion as to the sizes of the vast majority of the ships within the Babylon 5 Universe.

I will attempt to use visual judgement - deductive reasoning - logic and some artistic licence to come to my conclusions.

Right - first we have to start somewhere - and make note that I have got the original sizes from various sources on the web and all ship sizes are LENGTHS in METRES - unless otherwise stated. Also excuse the quality of some of the JPEGS - after all this is a comparative study not a showcase - GIFS would have taken too long to download for some of the images.

Let's first of all start with the fighters - here is an example of the fighters using the default set of lengths:

Right - are these figures acceptable - well let's see. I shall start with that old favourite the Starfury at it's more than acceptable figure of 9.56 Metres and let's have a look at the pilot:

Well as we can see - he fits in there nicely! - So I' am going to use the same pilot to scale to judge the sizes of the other fighters.

 

Will the pilot fit into the Thunderbolt? - Let' see:

As you can see - yes - so I can accept the figure for the Thunderbolt.

 

What about the Drazi Sky Serpent?
Again - no hassle - so I can accept that figure

what about the Minbari Nial Fighter?

Well yes He does fit in there quite nicely - But doesn't it seem a bit large to you?

Well I'm going to resize the Nial down to 16m - for reasons I'll state later in the study - now if I do this will everything still work with that pilot? - Let's see....

 

The answer is a definitive YES! - Carry on to next page
