Greetings People.
I'm a modeller in search of info and am unsure as to the best Forum on which to post;
I'm after information on ship sizes. NOT the excellent work I've already found on the Board, regarding "Real Sizes", but estimations on sizes in terms of feet or, if you must, metres.
From this info, I hope to scratchbuild 1/72 and 1/44 ships.
Thanks in advance.

(Hurry up HW2!):D

Merlin:

I *think* the ships are based around Metres. I don't think you'll ever see it in the game of course, as it wouldn't make much sense to use our units of measure. However, since Relic is Canadian, I think Metres is the UOM of choice.

ps. Looking forward to seeing your models!

Doesn't the game show ranges in "#km" format? I'm pretty sure distances are measured in kilometers, and I thought the manual said something about the Mothership being so many kilometers long...

i don't think they're measured in either.

even without known units, the ship sizes will still be relative to each other, which is the main thing.

I always figured they were in tru's, Theoretical Relic Units. I couldn't see them as being a proper size in either standard unit of mesure.
