All I need to know now, is approximately how big a diameter a Death Star
has.  <g>  There'd have to be some compression of scale of a model that big,
but I suppose something suitably spherical and not too cramped-looking could
be figured out.  :-)

I would guess that I'd have to do it virtually, or figure out how to buy my
own planet to put the model on!  <g>

In a recent stint I decided I had enough and built myself a little
conversion tool. So I thought I'd share it with the world. Or the Lego
community at least:

Right now it only does minifig/technic fig scales, and also only goes by • fig
height, but I haven't quite yet ever been so inclined to go by any other
measurement (since human widths and depths are hardly as 'standard'), so I
figured "nah".

Anyway, enjoy!
