    I came across this site years ago and had forgotten about it until recently.
    I thought I'd share the coolness.

    Below is a snippet from the site.
    Enjoy!

    The sheer amount of work done on this, compared in a ratio to it's geekiness * uselessness makes this pretty goddamn awesome.

    I just don't get it why they called the Xenomorph "Our Alien". Other than that, I'm impressed. I'm not a starship geek so it's not necessarily my cup of tea, but it's hard not to appreciate the ammount of work fueled by sheer passion done on this. It's passion like this that give sites/books/films/games, in their category, extreme levels of quality.

    EDIT:
    O god they've got the Martian Tripod and the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. I love them.

    EDIT 2:
    They called the exogorth a space slug. Why so colloquial? OK, now I'm feeling geeky.

    They're still missing starships from Dune or Legend of Galactic Heroes and other anime titles like Cowboy Bebop or Gundam series.

    In that case...
    The link for the index and contact link didn't quote well, but you can see them on the FAQ page.
    You're right, though. I would like to see the anime ships listed, but I don't think most of those list dimensional references.

    I was just happy as Richard at a nursery buffet to see Serenity there.
