    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.

        That’s because that’s what he is. He’s kind of a crappy person. Nimoy refused to speak to him the last few years he was alive because Shatner paid someone to ask Nimoy questions secretly record Nimoy at a convention after Nimoy turned Shatner down. This was confirmed in the book Shatner wrote about his friendship with Nimoy after he died where Shatner said “It was such a small thing Leonard”. Takei has talked endlessly about how Shatner was a prick to work with on stage too.

        Shatner is a shitty person

        Edit: I goofed

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

      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.

        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.
