(...) 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 (...) (17 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 (17 years ago, 25-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| | Minifig scale?
|

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. (...)

Well, we've had a few new folks register, but no new models submitted for a bit.
