Hi, I am thinking of writing a research paper on the scale of Lego
models/bricks. I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions as to main
points that I should bring up?
I think my main focus will be on this: How TLG itself has different size models
(i.e. Town vs Model Team) and if there is some "special correlation" between
the scale of the model and its length (in a conventional unit, or maybe in
studs).
And then there's all that minifig/maxifig/microfig stuff...
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

| Is it set to be exclusively about TLG? I mean, you could take a tape-mesaure to TRU and see how TLG scales compare with say Playmobil or MegaB****cks. Or Duplo, whose figures are in a completely different scale to minifigs. You may want to consider (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

| This was mentioned here before, and not by myself, but a good point would be that the classic 2x4 brick is approximately the same proportion as a common clay brick. common brick = 3 5/8 x 7 5/8 x 2 2/3 lego brick = 16 x 32 x 9.6 Build On! John (...) (25 years ago, 21-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

| Well Bryan, here are some interesting minifig scale figures: If you assume that an average door is 80' tall and you apply that to the minifig scale doors, in proportion a minifig is 5'7" tall. Which is a good average height for a human. The amusing (...) (25 years ago, 23-Oct-99, to lugnet.general)

| (...) I'd be curious to see what other commonly-used modelling scales there are, and what model genres are commonly used with them. For example, HO scale is commonly used in train models and is (I believe) 1/87; this makes a 1x4 brick approx. 9 feet (...) (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
