I mean, Im sure at least one fan over the last 60 years have built a model and not gotten it to scale...
Like, it's actually kind of of difficult to make a model to scale, especially for a small onenits not all going to be proportional. So even if you were drawing the line at "commercially sold" I'm sure some don't meet the requirement to be within scale.
I get Shatner meant there's no "life size" model, but if someone's gonna be pedantic, it's an excuse to be pedantic back.
@givesomefucks@cosmicrookie William Shatner always struck me as someone incredibly hostile to the fanbase which made him famous and the people who are the only reason anyone gives a damn about him anyway.
Every interview I have ever read or seen video of is just him belittling people and their fandom.

There's always a scale, even if you have to Fourier transform it

But 1:1 is technically a scale !
Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee · 8 pts · 2y
There even is a saying something is 'to scale' meaning it's dimensioned as original (1:1).

That's not the question, he's asking if you have one

Shatner is just a full on boomer. These are the sorts of answers you can expect from him.
LaVacaMariposa@mander.xyz · 4 pts · 2y
Isn't he like 95? I think he's from the generation before boomers.
BTW, I saw an interview with him recently and he's sharper than most people half his age. It's incredible

Why wound you ever need a 2:1 scale Enterprise?
Tho the regular crew would look adorable in it.

I could make a toy with the wrong dimensions. That might really screw up this guys very serious engineering endeavor.
