There's Robert Hurt's classic "Streaker Down":

There are front, side, and three-quarters views of my model:

And my "Izmunuti" animation:

And this image has an earlier version of my model:

I dug up my old notes. Startide gives two firm numbers: the interior of the ship's main bay is 20 m in diameter, and the ship's central spine is 5 m in diameter. My model assumes the exterior is *exactly* 20 m, and the interior is only a little less. Looking back at the notes I used to build my 3D model several years ago...

Back when I wrote those notes, it looks like I tried to do a lot of math to figure out the length, but that never really settled anything. In the end, I just *picked* a length, 128 m, that looked like it matched the book's illustration. I've drawn a quick sketch containing the rest of the measurements used in the model:
