Pete in Lincs Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 A question for the number crunchers out there.... I plan to build a section of the maintenance trench that runs down the side of Star Destroyers. A sort of vertical diorama. It will be mounted on a redundant 22" x 34" magnetic notice board so it may take a while. It won't be an exact copy, but very much in the spirit of, with lots of greeblies using whatever the spares boxes yield up. But I do want to get the size about right in 1/350th scale. So, The question is, How deep/tall should it be? Does anyone out there have a Star Destroyer in whatever scale that they can measure and then convert the numbers to suit? Thanks, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Lots of lookers at this but no numbers yet. I may have to do a rethink and just do a section of 'A Spaceship' along the lines of a Star Destroyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmonk Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Looking at the trench depth on the Bandai Star destroyer they vary from 7mm to 2mm deep so at 1:5000 scale makes them between 35m and 10m deep. In 1:350 scale that would be 100mm to 28mm deep. HTH Warren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing at around 100 to 150 mm high then, based on that. I think 125mm should keep the proportions about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
