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 !

There even is a saying something is 'to scale' meaning it's dimensioned as original (1:1).

Shatner is just a full on boomer. These are the sorts of answers you can expect from him.

LaVacaMariposa@mander.xyz · 4 pts · 2y (3 replies)

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.
