Is 1:40 minifig scale?
Id like to ellicit a wide number of opnions because Im just about to start
building a (much smaller) minifig scale model.
I assumed a minifig to be 6ft tall, giving me a ratio of 1 to 46 (rounded).
The japanese are a lot smaller, so to them perhaps minifig scale is 40:1.
Has their ever been an agreed standard for Minifig scale? or is their just an
acceptable range?

| (...) If you use 1 inch = 1 meter, a minifig is about 4 1/2 feet tall, a good size to relate to kids, I think. Then use four studs = one "inch", or one meter. It's not really accurate, but it sure is easy! Tim (Smith) (19 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, FTX)
