| Before you look at this MOC, I suggest putting on a little music. I suggest something debaucherous. Perhaps 'Girls, Girls, Girls', 'Wild Side', or 'Dr. Feelgood' by Motley Crue? I'll wait while you put that on... Still waiting... Ok, back now? Good! (...) (17 years ago, 21-Sep-08, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build, lugnet.space, FTX) !

| (...) 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. (URL) Tim (17 years ago, 5-Aug-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Minifig scale?
|
| (...) 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 (...) (17 years ago, 30-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Minifig scale?
|
| (...) Yes. I tend to think of 'minifig scale' as anything built to fit minifigs, rather than an exact ratio. It's all an approximation with lego. (17 years ago, 28-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Minifig scale?
|
| (...) Wow, have not really seen the word "pedant" used in a long while--maybe since studying for the SATs back in Age of Aquarius so I had to look it up again. One who pays undue attention to book learning and formal rules. One who exhibits one's (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

| (...) --snip-- (...) Hey Tommy, I agree for the most part and certainly don't keep to a single scale in my own dioramas (or even work completely to scale on many models). Selective compression, forced perspective and other techniques are very useful (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Although I get mildly irked by the abuse of 'minifig scale' the main reason I did this was 'cause I thought it would look funny. (...) Perhaps (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)

Every so often you will read or hear someone in the media complaining about Barbie. "Her proportions are (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Minifig scale?
|
| I think this whole issue of scale and size brings into question just how humans see the world and depict it. Western Civilization and the whole scientific mathematical outlook of the world originated only a few hundred years ago with the discovery (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Minifig scale?
|
| (...) --snip-- (...) I think you're demonstrating my point here by confusing size and scale here. A 'scale' defines the ratio of each dimension of the model to the real thing. Thus HO scale is 1:87, half scale is 1:2, true nano scale is 1:10^9 and (...) (17 years ago, 26-Jul-08, to lugnet.build, FTX)
