After a 2-month restoration a year ago I've finally gotten around to shooting some Beauty Shots of the restored Silvership One model. These are not quite up the feature Film standards I would employ if filming a sequence for a full-length production. It is shot on the living room sofa atop a large piece of black fleece. However, ironically these new shots are the best shots (in terms of 'definition') of this model yet to be published - since the newer smart phone camera has superior picture quality compared to the so-called 'HD' Sony Mini-Disc Camcorder used for the 2005 footage.
Since I have the Tiny Sparrow Miniature which is built in scale to the Silvership Model and its hanger bay I can compute approximate vessel dimensions. The actual wingspan of the full-scale Sparrow was 24 feet. The Tiny Sparrow is built to a scale of one-inch equals twenty feet. This is not the usual jargon that scale model builders would be familiar with. This is because my background is in Civil Engineering, and I am well versed in the use of a Drafting Scale, a sort of 'ruler', which has multiple 'scales' depending on which is needed to produce or measure a drawing. In terms of 'scale model hobby language' this translates to 1/240 scale.
Therefore, measuring the Silvership Model and applying that one-inch equals 20 feet, we derive the following 'Silvership-Class' Design Parameters:
Length - 760 feet
Width - 380 feet
Maximum Height at Superstructure - 86 feet
Number of decks amid ship - 7
