I have been doing a lot of work with Minifig scaling including an automatic
spreadsheet to convert ‘real-world’ to minfig scale in studs, meters and feet.
My conclusion is that the closest practical scale is 1:45, making Yamato 6.06m
or 19.8 ft.

Huh, I don’t think I’ve heard of minifig scale being more than 1:44 (making
“standard” minifigs just over 6 feet tall). Except maybe for specific projects?
1:45 would make them about 6’2.4” (1.89m) tall, 2’3.5” (72cm) wide, and 1’2.2”
(36cm) front-to-back. Of course, *lower* seems to be popular, like 1 stud = 1
minifig foot (about 1:38), and if you gauge by minifig width or depth, you’ll
get even lower still (although I can’t think of anything offhand that’s used
less than 1:38 for MF scale, but I’ll bet there are some out there). I’m
curious, though-- how did you come up with 1:45?
(I think the most popular measures I’ve seen are 1 stud = 1 minifig foot (1:38)
and 3 studs = 1 minifig meter (1:42))

| (...) I agree with previous posts that the variability of minifigs, not to mention their dispropotion nature means that a number of scales are possible. However, for me personally Minifig scale is not really 40:1. I have been doing a lot of work (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
