Yup my initial size calculation was WAY off. Although my recent recalculation put it closer to 4,900 feet (1.4Km) However, I think a lot hinges on how big you believe HW fighters are. I've seen some threads suggesting a basic interceptor was close to 200ft long  Should have shome shots of the Taiidan Carrier, a rebuilt Avatar and the Hive Frigate at the Gallery soon. |

Sorry not to reply earlier
Model was printed on an Epson Stylus Photo 830 - has a five colour plus black ink cartridge. Setting on the printer utility set for glossy photo paper, best quality settings and photo enhance.
Paper used was WH Smiths own brand matt white coated premium paper 160g weight.
Model was given two or three coats of an acrylic varnish - dries semi matt and no yellowing - to fix the colours and protect the model.
Before varnishing, all cut and fold lines were cleaned up by colouring using water colour art pencils.
Model was photographed in normal light single source (no fancy filters or spots) using a blue felt sheet background. Camera was a borrowed cheap epsilon set on macro and manual controls for the exposure. Took a lot of shots from each angle at varying exposures and then selected the best of the bunch.
