i'm considering commissioning adamkop for some schematics and a turntable of his version of the great fox for $75 this may 1st. i wanted to make floor plans for the great fox. the ship is canonically 850 "space meters" (an arbitrary unit of measurement meant to allow game developers to fudge the numbers, which is irrelevant to me as a schematics artist). adam's version of the great fox is a bit smaller, i am guessing 400 meters or so. that's big enough for a handful of starfighters. the great fox has a crew of around 10 i think, depending on whether or not you include all of the girls from the 1990s comics and SF2 who i think are part-time members. staffing a ship this large would require automation, so my headcanon is that ROB has an army of roombas and other drones for maintenance and cleaning.
because there is no hard, real-world numbers for the size of the arwing (and multiple designs exist), i had to base my math on the proportions of the craft itself. the arwing's cockpit (or at least adamkop's version) is about one third the length of its fuselage. because the arwing is a single-seater spacecraft, i knew that, at most, the length of the cockpit would be equal to an adult person's height. i don't know fox mccloud's height, or if the characters even have canon heights, but i know that krystal is just slightly taller than him in Star Fox: Assault. i wanted to peg his height at 175 centimeters, which is about average worldwide and in the US for an adult male, but still leaves room for a woman on the tall side to be close to or above that height. however, because i am working at 15 centimeters per pixel (the absolute smallest resolution i could work with and still be able to draw beds, chairs, etc, as the great fox is huge), the little guy in the corner is 180 cm. my only other options besides that were to make him 195 cm (close to darth vader height, and a bit taller than even me), or 165 cm which would be the height of the average woman. so, yeah...
anyway, the arwing is actually significantly smaller than an X-wing, which measures roughly 13 meters long and 12 meters wide. although these numbers will be funny because i drew them by hand based on a video turntable of a 3D model, the arwing is roughly 8.7 meters long and 14.4 meters wide when the variable wings are spread open for attack/braking. even with inaccuracies associated with the artistic process, the ship still comes up smaller than an X-wing, at least in length. for reference, i was using a schematic of the Nebulon-B frigate from ColonialChrome, scaled at 6.4 PPM, an image i found off of star wars D6 remastered. my numbers kind of got messed up because his version of the nebulon B was only 95 meters, when it is canonically 300 meters, but the deck plans of his were at such a resolution that a 400 meter craft would be possible to make schematics for.
based on my analysis, the Great fox would need an internal hangar measuring at least 60 meters wide to have four of these things side-by-side. at 400 meters, this would give it a 3:20 aspect ratio which is totally possible as most starships at this scale are no thicker than 1:3
my only main concern with floor plans for the great fox is that, assuming a deck height of 3 meters (2.5 ceiling plus 0.5 floor thickness), i would have to make a lot of slices for a ship that size. we'll see i guess.
