Various people have lamented that Lego cars can't seat two
figs side-by-side, even six stud wide trains are not realistic to figs,
etc.  People have also stated that minifigs aren't realistically
porportioned.

I think people are losing sight of the fact that LEGO is directed at "kids"
who generally speaking wouldn't care if the sets are realistically
proportioned or not.

In any case part of the joy of LEGO is working within its limitations.

(...) Right. It may sound like I'm losing sight but I'm not. I'm just dreaming :) I suspect a Model Team version Falcon is more likely. -Tom McD. (26 years ago, 1-Apr-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)

There's currently a discussion happening in lugnet.starwars concerning a minifig scale Millenium Falcon model. It seems to me that a lot of people are hampered by "minifig scale." I believe Gary Istok has mentioned that he doesn't even use minifigs (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.dear-lego)
