My thoughts exactly. The problem with the minifig-scale question, is that the
minifig is not scaled to a human, nor is the rest of his world, as presented by
LEGO, scaled to human things. His/her cars are to small, tools are too big,
houses are barely adequate, and bathroom facilities are far less common than
they should be.
Thus, I see “minifig scale” as being usefull not, as a measurement expressable
in x:x or x/x, or even X mm, but rather, is simply anything created that appear
to conform to the wonderfully wide parameters of “fitting with LEGO minifigs.”
You can assign a specific scale to your MOC, but as soon as you put a minifig in
there, the scale and “reality” goes out the window. Unless you are positing a
scene where all the participants suffer from a bizzaire combination of dwarfism,
gigantism, and -unless you are using fleshies- a terrible case of jaundice.
