Sorry I forgot to add text. This is my take on the Lobster Spinner as seen on TESTED with Adam Savage. It is 410mm long just the body true to scale. The file can be found on my Cult3D site Blade Runner Lobster Spinner

Interesting. What scale is it supposed to be?

The overall size is 16 inches or 40cm, that is the same as the movie prop.

Okay, so 16" equals...?

There's a Syd Mead painting showing a very similar vehicle to the lobster spinner (might be what its based off of). You might be able to figure the scale based on the figure standing next to it in the painting. The one thing about this spinner design is there's nothing that really looks like a door or hatch on it, so its hard to say how big it was intended to be in relation to the other spinners.

The original Mead design looks like a good start to calculate the scale. The forward pod is a crew cockpit so it has to be large enough to accommodate all of the crew.
The body has to be proportional to that. Maybe 1/32?
If the Lobster is more car-like, the length would be more relative to car size. Maybe 1/12 scale?
