There is actually also a thing about colors, that ends up looking inaccurate in smaller scales, making people mix lighter colors and create fake shadows, but that's a whole other can of worms, that scale modelers have to deal with. Okay I said this as a joke, but now I'm curious. Given Rex's method here, a minifig scale GSR would be Seriously, interesting article. The same method could be applied to vehicles and buildings from other lines (e.g. City, Marvel, DC). Might be worthwhile developing a standardised scale of scale accuracy from 1 to 10 with any score of 1 to 9.5 getting an additional + or - to indicate whether the vehicle is oversized or undersized." That’s the awkward thing about minifig scale. The Earhart plane has a fuselage that’s just four studs wide, but the bare minimum to seat two minifigs side-by-side is six (and even then they’ll need to roll down the windows so they can rest their arms on the sills). Based on height, cars scaled to a minifig end up looking like the polybag Elva that can’t even fit a whole minifig. Scale the model to their width, and that’s how you end up with Speed Champions producing 8-wide tanks.Recent discussion surrounding 75309 Republic Gunship has prompted broader examination of minifigure-scale. This interesting topic undoubtedly warrants investigation and this article encompasses numerous significant vehicles, determining their approximate minifigure-scale. Infantry Support Platform · RTT-04 armored troop transport · RX-200 Falchion-class assault tank · TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank · Unstable Terrain Artillery Transport It took me roughly 4 hours to put it together, and it was a fun build along the way. There were plenty of points where I was expecting this piece to have that function, but it had a completely different use. Good stuff! I've thought about something like this (and put together a little spreadsheet for the UCS some time ago), so it's great to see it done for all the major movie vehicles. That must've been a lot of work.

Yeah, I can’t find actual dimensions, but it looks like the Skystriker was under 2’ long. At exactly 2’ it would represent a plane that’s 38’4” long compared to the action figures. The real F-14 is just barely narrower than that with the wings closed, and was nearly 63’ long. I’ve got “Battle of the X-Planes” on DVD. It’s a Nova episode about the real design competition for the Joint Strike Fighter project that produced the F-35. The plane it ended up beating for the contract was the X-32, a dinky little sci-fi styled single-seater plane that’s still 45’ long. So, yeah, the Skystriker would probably be smaller than the P-51 Mustang.

You can just see some pro MOCer looking at those Star Destroyer measurements, thinking - "challenge accepted" ;-) Notes: Canon sources sometimes give a length of 23.40 metres, but that describes the fully armoured BTL-B Y-wing Starfighter deployed during the Clone Wars, rather than its later stripped-down equivalent.

Weapons systems were also upgraded to include a heavy laser cannon turret, a rapid repeating laser cannon, two medium antipersonnel laser cannons, two twin antipersonnel blaster cannons, and two turreted projectile launchers, loadable with variable-yield concussion grenades for close support or missiles added for anti-armor firepower. Missile range was 30km. Against an unshielded target, a Juggernaut could deliver the heat of a nuclear bomb into a small area. [7]

Larger minifigure-scale vehicles

Canon sources sometimes give a length of 23.40 metres, but that describes the fully armoured BTL-B Y-wing Starfighter deployed during the Clone Wars, rather than its later stripped-down equivalent." true - but for example Cavegod's sandcrawler is quite pretty in minifig scale. On the other hand it would need 4 - 6 floors according to the cross-section book. Even with floors fitting to the size of Jawa's it would need to be higher. In the end it is a compromise of a fitting scale and still correct proportions. Nobody would like to see a stubby sandcrawler. Simply you would omit one or two floors and then it is fine. Scale is tough because you have to consider all 3 dimensions. Using one makes for a good approximation, but the minifigure is disproportionate in width as well. It's why a lot of vehicles look wrong with minifigs and can't accommodate two side-by-side. The Self Propelled Heavy Artillery (SPHA) walker was a modular heavy artillery unit used by the Grand Army of the Republic during the Clone Wars. It was used at the end of Episode 2 on Geonosis.
