Tim, even at 6’ that proportional waist size would make John Candy look like an
Olsen twin. But you’re right, there’s no reason to even pretend you can truly
build in minifig ‘scale.’ (As to the comment you made about two 200 pound
people sitting side-by-side in a car--yes, I see it all the time as I weigh 220
pounds. But I think the more minifig-esque comparison would be two 400 pounders
in the same car.)

Interesting. So, has anybody built a 5-wide car that seats two minifigs
astride? Schin, consider yourself challenged anew!

Well Rev, as I pointed out in another post, it’s impossible to put two
minifigs side-by-side in a space smaller than 6-wide. Even then, you have to
use jumpers and thin-wall pieces. The only possible way would be to either sit
one minifig higher than the other or to rip their arms off...which would make
fitting them into a car a bit of a moot point.

Actually, the strange thing about the minifig's girth is that (...) (18 years ago, 19-Jul-06, to lugnet.build, FTX)
