Hey Thomas. Sorry I never got back to you in email. I personally use the word "microfig" as an umbrella term that absorbs all of the other smaller then minifig scales. So on one level (disregarding technicfig scale for the moment) there could be 2 scales: Mini and Micro. Then if you wanted to further divide up "microfig" there would be a few other scales that different AFOLs have established: -Microfig (might seem odd that this is inside the "microfig" category but it makes sense to me) -Nanofig (used by many. Generally means smaller than microfig) -Picofig/Kilofig (as far as I know Jeremy Sproat is the only one to have ever used these terms) -Stickfig (again I think this Term was created by Sproat but others have adopted it) So basically in my mind there are basically 3 scales used by most space builders: Technicfig, Minifig and Microfig--and the last scale is further divided up into various scales. Hope that helps. -Jon -- | The Shipyard - http://www.dallas.net/~jpalmer/GS/ | My Lego Creations - http://www.dallas.net/~jpalmer/lego/ | Attack of the Bricks - http://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=jpalmer "Thomas Jost" <mreldritch@gmx.ch> wrote in message news:Gv6t0J.2tL@lugnet.com... > Hello all! > > I have a question on scales: what exactly does microfig scale mean?

		Re: Question about scale
What about Macrofig? Sets that are too big for minifig but too small for technicfig, like the Blockade Runner or should also have a designation. Dave. (...) (23 years ago, 30-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

		Question about scale
Hello all! I have a question on scales: what exactly does microfig scale mean? Is this just any scale smaller than minifig? I'm wondering because I'm working on a huge battleship in something that is what you call microfig... Regards Thomas (23 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
