Starship Size Comparison Chart

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Awesome.

The Sleeper Service from Iain M Banks's Excession is more than twice as long as the whole chart. 90km long by 60km wide by 20km high,

Not there.

The Zeppelin space ships and Tank like ones from "Iron Sky" are nowhere to be seen, either. :|

I suspect the Liberator is simply too obscure for this fairly US-centric view, although I like the Red Dwarf inclusion!

It's also a few years old now and I think pre-dates Iron Sky?

MORE DAKKA!

I found a site ages ago, I think it was a showcase for trainee CGI artists. Someone had done a re-imagining of the Liberator that looked fecking awesome. But can I find it now? Can I buffalo.

Edit: well I found a preparatory sketch...

I know it's not the one you're looking for, but to my eye it shows the difficulty of perspective the Liberator has in the top section.

Now where's my Spear Of Destiny 12"??
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

Blakes 7 is getting remade for Netflix isn't it?

If so, it'll be in the next revision

I got my Spear of Destiny ticket Saturday, for the Leeds Brudenell gig :D
I go to gigs, and if there is any money left, I eat
