 | | Re: Minifig scale?
|
| (...) Wow, have not really seen the word "pedant" used in a long while--maybe since studying for the SATs back in Age of Aquarius so I had to look it up again. One who pays undue attention to book learning and formal rules. One who exhibits one's (...) (16 years ago, 27-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| I think this whole issue of scale and size brings into question just how humans see the world and depict it. Western Civilization and the whole scientific mathematical outlook of the world originated only a few hundred years ago with the discovery (...) (16 years ago, 26-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| (...) I've always used the term "minfig scale" to differentiate from "Miniland scale" to help explain that the vehicles, structures, and figures in Miniland at LEGOLANDs are not the same as the vehicles, structures, and figures in LEGO sets. -Ted (16 years ago, 25-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| | Minifig scale?
|
| Hi all, Of late I've noticed a resurgence in the use of 'minifig scale' as a term. Being a mathematically inclined pedant I tend to take issue with this term as minifigs are so deformed it strikes me as impossible to define a single 'scale' to them. (...)

Although I get mildly irked by the abuse of 'minifig scale' the main reason I did this was 'cause I thought it would look funny. (...) Perhaps (...) (16 years ago, 27-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

If minfigures were real people they would resemble some of the unhealthiest humans with big head and extremely overweight bodies. I think the (...) (16 years ago, 25-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Selective compression, forced perspective and other techniques are very useful (...) (16 years ago, 27-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| (...) --snip-- (...) I think you're demonstrating my point here by confusing size and scale here. A 'scale' defines the ratio of each dimension of the model to the real thing. Thus HO scale is 1:87, half scale is 1:2, true nano scale is 1:10^9 and (...) (16 years ago, 26-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| Hey all, It's been years since I've posted - but wanted to share some space-related minifig work I did a while back. Many of you might remember "Battle of the Planets" cartoon from the 70s, which was the American version of Gatchaman and which I (...) (16 years ago, 9-Aug-08, to lugnet.space, FTX)
