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.
As an indirect result of my pedantry I decided to try something out and do a
silhouette comparison shot featuring a person (me in fact) standing next to
minifigs at differing scales.
--BROKEN LINK--
For further fun I calculated another example: a Toyota Landcruiser. This has
a bonnet width of about 2m which translates to (rounding up) 7.2 studs
(1:35), 6.3 studs (1:40), 5.7 studs (1:44) or 5.2 studs (1:48).
Anyway, I hope this helps/annoys/amuses/entices/etc. someone else. I got a
giggle.

Apologies for the self-response. I realised my original image was in error (ahhh
irony) and changed it on flickr. Unfortunately this means the link is now wrong
so I include the correct one below.
