Basing it off of minifig height, my estimate comes to very close to that--
about 2.87 studs = 1 minifig meter (this is based on your average minifig being
6 minifig feet tall, and actually being 42mm tall (5.25 studs or 4.375 bricks
tall)
So for metric, estimating about 3 studs = 1 meter is not too bad... for
"standard" though, I tend to approximate with 1 stud = 1 foot. Of course really
it's 1 stud = 8/7 foot, so you have to add a bit more (although the fact that 7
studs exactly equals 8 feet is nice). But in general that's the standard I
use...

| (...) But remember that medieval minifigs were actually much shorter than modern ones because they didn't have as good nutrition. Shouldn't we take that into account? 8) I think that 1 stud = 1 foot would work pretty well for CW. At least for us (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.castle)
