Is 1:40 minifig scale?
I’d like to ellicit a wide number of opnions because I’m just about to start
building a (much smaller) minifig scale model.
I assumed a minifig to be 6ft tall, giving me a ratio of 1 to 46 (rounded).
The japanese are a lot smaller, so to them perhaps minifig scale is 40:1.
Has their ever been an agreed standard for Minifig scale? or is their just an
acceptable range?

If you use 1 inch = 1 meter, a minifig is about 4 1/2 feet tall, a good size to
relate to kids, I think. Then use four studs = one “inch”, or one meter. It’s
not really accurate, but it sure is easy!

However, for me personally Minifig scale is not really 40:1. I have been doing a lot of work (...) (19 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
