For the more mathematically inclined

Using Mel's Epic ship sliding scale, what would the scale of a 250 meter ship be?

About 1:565, give or take.

464 + (617 - 464) * (100/150)

I think it could be curved flatter little bit more, when I look at huge ships I think of counterparts. Tantive vs raider, Nebulon vs Dreadnaught cruiser, Mon Calmari vs Star Destroyer. For the star destroyer I will say a around 2.5 times as long as CR-90 is perfect (around 30"). You can use both squadron points and attributes to imply one is bigger than the other.

Also for anything Neb-B and larger should be a 3 section ship. I don't think 4 section is required for Star Destroyer (three 20 hit point cards should be more than enough).

Thank you, sir!

In the absence of X-wing scale 3D printed Lancer Class Frigates, I'm thinking of having once scratch built on commission. I figured somewhere around 17 inches but my math skills are eroding from atrophy.

So if i'm reading that right i should be aiming for 45-50cm for an xwing neb-b?

Thinking about 3d printing one for a casual prop

My 3D printed Nebulon-B is 49 cm

You were SO CLOSE! It's actually 1/566. But you were THAT close!

*Shrug* Give or take; I was doing the math in my head.

Thanks, guys. It rounds the same in cm anyway.
