That's hard to believe that the Borg Cube is that much bigger then the Intrepid class ship (Voyager) Just a rough guess would be that the Cube is over 500 times bigger then the Intrepid. And Voyager beat how many of those cubes without being destroyed?!?
I can see the Cube being like 50-100 times bigger but gees.

I generally have little or no interest in TNG ships, but it looks like the two sites disagree about the relative sizes of TNG Fed Galaxy ships and TNG Rom Warbirds.

And ya, I want to see the Imperial Star Destroyer on the flashy site, too.

Oh, and I think King Kong is smaller than in the films, not to mention the "vs. Godzilla" films.

I think they got his size from the origninal movie, probably from his scale against the empire state building. Wait, no, you're right, he has to be bigger! that size definitely cannot swat planes. Of course, maybe I should actually watch the original, rather than going by the poster art, which is probably exaggerated.

I can't move anything around on that site.

And Romulan warbirds are a lot larger than Federation Galaxy Class ships (something like 2-3x as large).

That is from Babylon Trek Wars. I can't seem to find any mention of the author...

Yes, that was the site. Did it move? The only link I have to it is defunct.

BTW had another size chart for the bases (Death Stars I and II, B5, etc). I just didn't download it.
