| (...) I always accord minifigs 1:35 scale, possibly 1:32, because those are the closest "standard military" scales. But also, I go by the average of the minifigs' dimensions, which sort of implies they are 5' tall and very, very broad. So I am (...)

I am currently planning out a true-minifig-scale model of the battleship Fuso ca. 1944, though I am going closer to 1:35 scale given that minifigs are not truly to human propor- tions. (...)

I assumed a minifig to be 6ft tall, giving me a ratio of 1 to 46 (rounded). The japanese are a (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military, FTX)
