I checked out the low-end modelling market (Wal-Mart) and saw these scales: automobile -- 1:24 and 1:25 sci-fi -- 1:48 (O scale) military aircraft -- 1:72 1:48 naval (special on RMS Titanic :-P) -- 1:570 So, taking that and some great stuff from (...)

(...) 4mm/ft? Crossing measuring systems surprises me, but I can see its usefulness in the name of accuracy. So 4mm/ft is roughly 1:76.2 . What does the 18.83 mean? Is this in any way related to the 28mm wargaming scale? Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)

There's an interesting model in this month's Theme Gallery on Lego's site. It's called Pardoes, made by "Spierings" - a 15 yo from the Netherlands. I like it a lot; it's a juggler/joker character with floppy hat and curled up toes. Does anyone know (...) (25 years ago, 29-Oct-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Lego (minifig) scale is much closer to O scale (1:48) which makes a 1x4 brick 5 feet long and a minifig a sizable 6ft 6in. If it is agreed that 5ft 8in is a more reasonable height for the average human than the scale is closer to 1:42 which (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.build)
