  Oh, wow. Wowowow. (was: Re: Project YAMATO)
 
(...) Jumpei, That is beautiful. Truly a thing of utter beauty. 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. (...)

  Re: Is 1:40 minifig scale? (was Project YAMATO)
 
(...) I personally advocate 1 stud to the foot, which is about 1:38. If the stud size is exactly 8mm then it's 1:38.1. If a stud size is 5/16" then it's 1:38.4.

(...) Is 1:40 minifig scale? I'd like to ellicit a wide number of opnions because I'm 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 (...) (20 years ago, 26-Jan-05, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

(...) Thank you for your introduction of my project, Bruce. This is my biggest challenge and still under construction. 1/40 Battleship YAMATO It's minifig scale, and it will come to 6.5m (21ft).

  Re: Battleship in progress by Jumpei Mitsui
 
(...) It totally blows me away how people can build sweeping curves using flat, rectangular LEGO pieces!! I can't wait to see the finished product, but the in-progress pics are also really cool to look at. -Bryan P.S. Wow look at all that light (...)
