Is anyone else a member of the Star Wars Fan club? I've written a
question to Steve Sansweet about the scales used (actual scales of models)
and represented (how big they are supposed to be). "If" I get an answer
maybe we could get closer to a working solution.
After reading most of this conversation and checking on the film, in
addition to my reference material, I can clearly see conflicts. I know for
a fact that the first shots of the walkers from afar, the models were only
about three or so inches. I've seen photos of the models used for close-up
shots, and they are slightly bigger than the Kenner/Hasbro toys. The model
I've come up with is slightly smaller than the toy. My model is 26 studs
wide, 61 deep and 131 high. The height is equivalent to 60'. I'd have to
agree with David Eaton and say 65-70' is appropriate. But now some people
are talking about this "minifig" scale. I currently don't understand this
scale. I want things to be BIG!!!
