Ok, I have not managed to read many posts in the last 4 weeks or so(I hold my
head in shame) due to work comitments.I have recently purchased a Panther
radio controlled model tank, 1.25th scale. As a teenager I used to have 1.35th
scale tanks etc. Now, I always took it as Lego minifigs where comparible
between 1/35 and 1/25, yet now when I take a 1/25 scale  German helmet to a
minifig it is still too small!! Yet the 1/25 tank matches the scale of my most
recent ww2 street and Lego Russian tank perfectly!! (pics not yet posted).so,
did Lego purposely design the minifigs as midget dwarfs or what?? I would say
they must be more around 1/20 -1/15 scale yet this would dwarf them to
comparible vehicles of this scale? I think this is relative to all minifig
trains, trucks and cars, I dont know exactly what my point is here other than
the question, has anybody actually agreed on a scale ?(noticing the 6-8 stud
wide train debate), as sometimes I thought my models may be too big in scale
yet now they must be too small!!

They're not to any particular scale... depending on the dimension you use you
get different scales. They are either extremely fat normal height people, or
extremely stunted normal thickness people.

Lego was just predicting what we all will look like in 2250 AD given current
trends.
