    size of Lego MF revisited —Ben Fleskes
   As if this hasn't been hashed enough already, here is some more info for everyone. Given you are tyring to build a Lego Millennium Falcon in 'minifig' scale. And given that the Lego Y-wing and X-wing are minifig scale, here are a few numbers Length (...) (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: size of Lego MF revisited —Tom McDonald
     (...) Hehe.. That's funny. But it's also weird. I remember a friend of mine, who has talent for drawing, seriously depicting the MF some years ago, and I thought his picture of it looked like a hamburger and had to ask him what it was. That little (...) (26 years ago, 11-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: size of Lego MF revisited —Lindsay Frederick Braun
      (...) It seems that common items are often inspiration for SW ships' appearances or sounds--the MF's engine sound eluded Lucas and Co. until they were staying in a no-tell motel one night and the air conditioner malfunctioned--making the perfect (...)

        Re: size of Lego MF revisited —Bram Lambrecht
     (...) I thought the scale looked pretty good! Taking a minifig's footprint to be equivalent to about a foot in real life (~1/3 meter), the models are more or less scale to the minifigs as well as being scale to each other! --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o (...)

        Re: size of Lego MF revisited —Eric Joslin
     (...) That's actually true- I've seen the original models. It blew. The concept modeler for A New Hope really left something to be desired... although his Star Destroyer was interesting. At any rate, there are lots of food references- for example, (...) (26 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

        Re: size of Lego MF revisited —Jeff Stembel
   (...) Thanks for the info! I did a quick check of my B-Wing, and guess what? It is about 45 studs long, fitting the scale! It is 4 meters longer than an X-Wing, which comes to about 11 studs. When I built it, I wasn't even trying to scale it (...) (26 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: size of Lego MF revisited —Terry Keller
   (...) WooHoo! So is mine! At least by doing the 'count the studs on the picture' method. I count 46 studs for the length of my B-Wing. I too happened to scale by sheer luck. Dang! My X-Wing comes in at 58 studs. But it looks good. :-) -- Terry K -- (26 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
