Hey Suz,
Just my humble opinion, but I think microscale just means any scale smaller than
minifig (or, perhaps, smaller than the old 1970’s town scale). For instance,
see these three interpretations of the same castle at three different scales by
Don Bruce:
If you do a Brickshelf search on “micro” you’ll see all kinds of different
scales, from where a 1x1 is the size of a person, to where a 1x1 is a building.
There are some who have tried to classify things into “micro”, “nano”, “pico”
etc, but (IMHO, of course), rigid distinctions have not caught on.
That said, in the announcement of the Micro Moc OFF contest at Brickfest, Janey does say “While building, please keep
in mind that in the micro world a “fig” is the size of a mere 1 by 1 round
brick. Keeping your MOCs in this scale will allow us to have all the creations
work together in one overall layout.” So if you want to have your creation fit
next to others’ that sounds like the right scale.
Bruce

| Is there a FAQ or Building Guide for the small scales? Because I could use help. Until a few minutes ago, I wasn't even sure what the definitions of micro, mini, and nano scales might be. I'm entering a model of my house for BrickFest, and I read (...) (19 years ago, 4-Aug-05, to lugnet.build.microscale)
