Message: <blockquote data-quote="joez2391" data-source="post: 1942116" data-attributes="member: 14683">No, 18'' means 18 inches, the diorama that you built was most likely scaled towards the action figure R2-D2, which measures in at 1:18th scale.  this has nothing to do with the length of the ship, its just ironic that the ship is 18" long and the figures are 1:18th scale.  This would mean that the new toy coming out, is actually studio scale as long as it is 18inches long and the only difference would be the size of the R2 hole.     The original filming miniatures made by ilm used R2-D2 model pieces that measured in at 1:24th scale on most of the studio pieces, such as most of the x wings, y wings, etc. the 1:24th scale was denoted by the 1:24th scale harrier pilot that was used for the body on a lot of the models.       This Starspeeder was also 1:24th scale and did not use the R2 toy on the filming miniature.  If you think about it, it would not make sense because Star Tours was filmed around 1986, which means that if they were to use a toy, it would have been the vintage R2 because the more accurate R2 did not come out until the early 90s, way after Star Tours was opened.  Take a look at the Refrence pics at the beginning of this thread and youll see the difference.</blockquote>
