I've used three scales in setting up my CW realm and environs (progressively
larger scales):
- minifig scale
- (Shiri's Helfire scale)
- terrain scale
one stud=one 32x32 minifig baseplate
useful for modelling rivers, mountains, etc., and large city layouts
- realm scale
one stud=one 32x32 microfig baseplate=1024x1024 microfig studs
useful for modelling adjacent CW realms (4x4 studs at this scale)
also useful for modelling continents and seas
I've found the terrain scale very helpful in suggesting additonal minifig
scale models, since the minifigs have some surrounding geographical features
to build against.
Shiri's scale looks a really good way to get the feel for the shapes of
buildings. I assume the scale is one minifig wall (6 high) to one brick
height?
