[ART][META] A matter of scale - M Fnord - 08-07-2010
Just fooling around in Sketchup this evening, and produced this:
![[Image: amatterofscale.th.jpg]](http://img375.imageshack.us/i/amatterofscale.jpg/)
It's a to-scale drawing of some of the larger objects inhabiting our fair Fenspace. In descending order, we have Grover's Corners[1], Island One, Stellvia and the Island[2]. Kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
[1] Which is a *tiny* bit larger than spec, in order to avoid clipping issues. Also, didn't have a elevation model of the actual landscape, so I faked it.
[2] Represented here by a truncated model of the Mall of America, which roughly fits the amount of claimed acreage on the wiki.

And if you really want genuine topology, I can always give you an approximate location for the center of the sphere, and you can get a pic off Google Maps/Earth.
