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.

What's the Eclipse Star Destroyer?
I don't recall any Super StarDestroyer with that name in Star Wars. I only know the Executor and the Night Hammer (From one of the books).
