(...) Well yeah... but it would be interesting to build one of the correct _physical_ proportions, if only to say that you did it. (As has been established, this works out to 2 studs wide, 8 studs across, and 15 brick-heights high.) (...) Yes... (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) ...which is the minimum size required to achieve the 1x4x9 dimensional ratio. I have been unable to find any evidence that the actual physical dimensions are known, beyond one person's claim that the physical Cinerama screen (which has an (...) (20 years ago, 24-Jan-04, to lugnet.build)

I am of the belief that you guys are nuts! :) (No offence intended) the simplest solution, as far as I can work out, is to build it for the most part studs up, and use some 2 stud long technic axles inside the inner tubes of the brick, (...)
