To see such discussion on the attributes and definitions of micro-scale is quite exciting. I decided to open up my PowerPoint on the topic and see how I originally defined it. "Microfig--anything smaller than minifig scale. May assume that a person (...) (20 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale)

(...) Okay. We'll simply call them "sub-mini-super-micro figs." :) For instance, (URL) these tiny astronauts> or (URL) my tiny Starfleet figures>. And what exactly is "stickfig?" (...) Yes. If such a model fits in your hand, it's merely a "small (...) (20 years ago, 26-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.microscale, FTX)

(...) Yes! This is exactly the point I touched upon in my WTC design paper(1). I've dubbed this type of technique as "mind's eye modeling", which I describe as "creating a model that visually matches or exceeds what a typical person expects to see. (...)

(...) Well my micro creations have varied from about 1:100 to 1:250 or less, so I obviously think that the actual scale is fairly flexible.

Hello all, IMO, Microscale is really in a development stage, and although there are some key players that have done some outstanding work and have for years, most AFOL have yet to dabble in this scale.
