| | | | | 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)
