    Scale? —Tim Saupé
   I think I heard someone once say that a good guide for scale is 3.5 studs per foot. Is that right? Ti (24 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: Scale? —Bram Lambrecht
     (...) For minifig scale, 3.5 studs per *meter* probably works pretty well. I tend to stick with approx. 1 stud per foot (not that I ever calculate dimensions). --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ BramL@juno.com ---...---oooo-----(_...o---...--- WWW: (URL) (...)

     (...) I'm not big on calculations either. My minifig scale is "minifigs can fit in it". :) James (URL) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)

        Re: Scale? —John J. Ladasky, Jr.
   (...) Huh? That question is a little vague. I'll try to be more specific. Lay a minifig down on its back. You will see that it's five studs high. An average adult human is about 1.7 meters (or 5 feet, 7 inches) tall. Divide 1.7 meters by 5 studs, (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars)

        Re: Scale? —John J. Ladasky, Jr.
   (...) Hey, a minifig is shaped *quite* unlike a human being. You have to pick one minifig body dimension, and use it as the basis for your scale. Height, being the longest measure on the minifig, would seem to be the obvious choice. You're right, (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jan-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.general)
