The Trek BBS - View Single Post - a 198'' model of the USS Enterprise NCC 1701-A

I'm curious. Why 198" and not 200"?

The studio model was exactly 100" long at 1/120 scale, or 1/10" = 1'.
A 200" model would be exactly twice the studio model's scale at 1/60, or 0.20" (1/5") = 1'.

I was just wondering how you arrived at 198 inches for a size.
