| (...) I didn't say that you didn't account for the physics involved, I said that you didn't consider what impact the sheer scale of space would have on combat strategies and tactics. One can postulate methods around the laws of physics as currently (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

No. Steambots are powered by STEAM, yeah, thats right, steam as in evaporated water for all you science geeks out there. And when they run out of (...)

| | | | | Re: Scale
|
| (...) Well as the dimensions of a minifig are nowhere near proportional to a human, it's difficult to get an exact scale. I've seen scales ranging from 1:40 to 1:60 look ok with them, I think most people tend to scale in the low 40s if they're (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)
| | | | | Re: Scale
|
| (...) Minifigs have an exaggerated scale compared to the avergage human. However, the generally accepted 'standard' for minifig scale is usually stated as 1 stud= 1 foot, or 1:38.1. Personally, I think guaging a scale of the figure is a mistake in (...) (22 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.general)

|
| (...) For what it's worth, here's how I arrive at a scale for minifig buildings, vehicles etc. To make things simple I assume the average minifig would be 6 feet tall (1) if brought to life. i.e. that the minifig _represents_ a being that is around (...)

| | | | | Re: Scale
