That's what you get when you use such large models in cm scale <g>
OTOH, even inches are too short for my Terran Victory-class SGDs :-/ but
then I only use them for demos anyway :-)

For those of us who don't have large enough tables (or, indeed, large
enough rooms to put the tables in), cm measurements are a necessity - my
gaming table is only 4'x2' 8"... not too big.

C'mon Örjan, most of those ships are Silent Death fighters. Even if I could
find smaller ships, finding smaller *bases* would be a problem.

When I have to use cm scale, we have a bunch of proxy stands. I use a penny
with a vertical riser. I painted clockface ticks on them and the "forward" one
painted a different color. This helps some, but is visually disappointing.
