    Re: Lego Measurements? —Jeff Elliott
   Hi Rob! Lots of debate on this one, mostly 'cuz minifigs are so disproportionate - they're quite wide for their height. Minifigs are 4 bricks + 1 plate tall, without neckwear. That's 4.16 cm. I horizontal measurement, that's 5.2 studs wide. So, here (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

     (...) I'd say 1 stud = 1 foot would most appropiate, because a minifig foot is one stud long. If you use that measurement, one metre would be 3.3 studs. Alan (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

        Re: Lego Measurements? —Rob Drechsel
   (...) Thanks! That means that I'm looking at my tank to be about 27 studs long (1). The treads would turn out to be about 18 studs. Would anyone know if the Arctic/Adventurer treads would fit that? Rob (1) I'm not sure if this is the exact length of (...) (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
