| (...) --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)

| (...) Minifig scale, as with micro-scale and nano-scale, is a very broadly defined term. Miniland scale can be nailed down fairly precisely, but you can make one creation and call it nano-scale, and then make a matching creation that's half that (...)

| (...) For the most part although I have seen it used to describe set scales a little recently which is, in my opinion, just plain silly. (...) I vary my scale quite a bit even within a diorama but for buildings I probably use closer to 1:60 than (...) (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)

| (...) Tim, You are absolutely correct in describing the minifigure as an unrealistic model of a person. 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)

|
| 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. (...)

| The Mona Lisa uses a pointillist style that I first saw in Roy Cook’s Aayla Secura Pointillist Mosaic winner of best mosaic at Brickfest 2006. My method differs slightly from Roy’s. Roy attached his 1x1 round plates to Technic bricks. I attached my (...) (16 years ago, 24-Jul-08, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mosaic, FTX)
