We understand, FYI, The word you're looking for is studs.
I had a look myself and slave1 seems undersized by a factor of two (well,
since it's a 3dimensional object it's about an 8th of its 'real' volume).
Doubling all the dimesions (making it about as long as the Y-wing) would also
have the bonus of making the rear 'door' (at least) 4 studs across, i.e.
minifig width. Then there'd be storage space for a real carbonite block with
(perhaps) a real Han inside...
Oh well.

For Future Reference, Please what is the 'real' length of a Y-wing, Is lego
(with a notable exception) sticking to a scale?

| (...) Sadly yes - I had hoped for something 3D like for the carbonite thingy - not just a print on top of a brick. About the size - well - please note that the picture is made out of a smaller pic of the Slave 1 and a larger of Boba Fett - the scale (...) (25 years ago, 19-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
