I know I'm behind the power curve here. If I wanted to build a ship, to
scale of the minifigs, How do I determine appropriate lengths and heights?
My friend Jennifer stated, to build an aircraft carrier to scale, it would

of the minifig, what are the formulas?
Thank you for your time and energy,
Joe

| Well, Mr. Cardana, for my LEGO train cars and locomotives I'm designing, I am using a scale of 1:40 (slightly larger than Lionel(R) trains). My assumptions were based on taking measurements from a minifig, and assuming it to be in the 5-6 scale-foot (...) (23 years ago, 9-Nov-01, to lugnet.general)
