scifi.com had a salter diagram of the Lexx up about a year ago. It presented all the parts and their measurements. I just looked and they took it down. As soon as I can find some space I’ll upload it so everyone can view it again.

From head to tail its 10km long. The head is 2.4 km tall. The head/body is 4.2 km long. The tail is 4.6 km long and the thing at the end is 1.2 km long. The tail and thing at the end is 0.56 km tall. The tail is made up of 25 segments each 182 m long. Plus 50m of filler by the thing at the end.

One site says “over 10 kilometers,” another says “five miles,” and several say “about the size of Manhattan.” This is incredibly confusing. I’v been analyzing the frames of various episodes and movies to come up with size of space ships and objects in relation to the Lexx.

The thing is, the Cluster’s diameter is 11 Lexxes, and if the lexx is only 10 km that means it’s a mere 110 km, a [b]very[/b] small planetoid. the Manhattan (45 km) size seemed more logical, since it would make the Cluster the size of a moderately large asteroid or medium-sized moon. I guess I’m gonna have to rework the sizes for all the objects (except for the stingers and the [i]Fore Shadow[/i], where the known value is Kai).

I did this because I wanted to find out how big a full-grown Insect was for a race summary I may or may not write. By the way, if anyone knows of a site with a vidcap from [i]Mantrid[/i] of the young Insect burrowing into the Cluster, please tell me.
