1:- taken from the pic you posted, savmagoett,  of the scale between a human and the shuttle. Now the interior of the bridge and its windows is the same size for the Executor as it is for the stadestroyers. But in the models they only added the correct domed outside of the bridge to the executor. There is one stardestroyer model that has the domed bridge but the scale for that would have made the stardestroyers bridges almost 3x the size of the Executors one. Now the Towers of the stardestroyers and the Executor are exactly the same size so we can use the Executor tower with the domed bridge for the comparison. As you can see the scale of the human is the correct scale with the bridge.

2:- Now zoomed out so we can see the full tower, which you can see the scale of the shuttle in comparison to the tower.

3:- Full zoom out. The highest points of the zoomed tower perfectly matching the highest points in the full model, which is the centre point of the stardestroyer so the scale is correct. Copied and pasted the shuttle from the zoomed section and placed it next to your shuttles scaling.

4:- the scaling zoomed in. As you can see the correct scale of the shuttle in comparison with the stardestroyer should be a lot smaller than your calculations. So the shuttle in ESB:R will be the correct smaller scale which will fit inside the stardestroyers docking bay

 

I just wanted to show an Executor 'exterior' Bridge shot in close proximity to the photos above, for comparisons sake. 

Perhaps you can clear this up for me Adywan? -  I always thought this 'rounded' exterior Bridge shot below was meant to be the Executor's tower....but I was never sure (the dvd colouration is misleading)....

....and both of these behind-the-scenes miniature shots seen below are listed as being the Executor's tower (and either or both these shots may be 'flipped' the wrong way round for all I know, when it comes to studying the detail) 

Do you reckon the first one shown below is actually the 'oversized' Bridge that you mentioned in your post #17 on this thread, and that only the one at the bottom is the correct Executor one?  -
