I have no idea what the "scale" is as Murphy doesn't actually design models to specific scale
(I think he designs to fit things on the page and then figures out the final scale)

and this "spaceship" isn't really to scale, since its nothing more than CGI artwork.

Mark Rademaker has done a lot of Sci Fi and Star Trek ship designs in CGI.
Not sure if he actually has anything to do with Paramount or Star Trek.
He is friends with Mike Okuda.

Rademaker designed this ship...or parts of it...a long time ago.
In fact, the design has apparently changed and evolved over the years,
now with these "Warp Rings" added based on some discussions with a NASA scientist.
I've got earlier artworks that show this craft in various configurations without the Warp Rings.
Before the IXS Enterprise, the main body of this design was the IXS Clarke.

Anyway, my "commission" was that I build Murphy's model for someone who has an interest in this craft but doesn't build paper models.
He saw the model at ecardmodels I think.
He, like many, thought this was an actual NASA concept...which its not.
But he still wants a display model.
Nevertheless, I warned my customer that this wouldn't be a great build
...and I have struggled to clean up, redraw and modify this model to suit my taste.

It will be interesting to see what you do with it.
