![]() ![]() ![]() I’m not sure I’d characterize adding 3 bricks of height to our 4-brick-tall minifigs as an “easy” modification, assuming you still want to use minifig parts as the core of this modified person. When I plug 6’7″ and 1:25 scale into Sariel’s calculator, I get a height of 7 bricks. This would result in a consistent 1:25 ratio both vertically and horizontally. It would be easy to modify the height of a LEGO Minifigure to be proportionate to it’s width. (There isn’t as much data available about average width at the torso or hips as height, but a cursory scan of some sources suggest 40cm is pretty typical across both genders)īased on the LEGO minifigure’s width, we get a scale of about 1:25. I measured my width at the hips as 40cm (16 inches) which is the value I used in the calculations below. Thankfully, humans have about the same 2:1 ratio.) (A minifigure torso is the same width and depth as a 1×2 LEGO brick, or a 2:1 ratio. This is why the scaling factor is different vertically than horizontally. Since the proportions of the LEGO Minifigure as so strange, we get a radically different result if we try to calculate the scaling factor based on the minifigure’s width. This is due to the fact that LEGO legs are 5 plates tall, but the 2x2x2 slope used as a dress is 6 plates tall. I do not know why, and did not include this subtle discrepancy in my calculations.Īdult LEGO figures are almost always the same height regardless of gender, with the exception of figures wearing a dress which are 1 plate taller than the classic figure. The stud on the top of a Minifigure is ever so slightly taller than the stud on the top of a standard LEGO element. (Rounding down also accounts for the slight increase in height when you add hair or a hat.) I have rounded down slightly and concluded that 1:42 is an good estimate for the scale of LEGO Minifigures based on their height. Width and Height of Classic LEGO Minifigure. ![]() (1 p = 1.6 mm, or 0.063 inches)ġ plastic is 1/2 of the height of a LEGO plate (excluding studs), 1/5 of the width of a 1x LEGO brick, or 1/6 the height of a LEGO brick (excluding studs). I call this unit 1 plastic, or simply “1 p”. The smallest common dimension in the LEGO System is the thickness of a LEGO brick’s wall. It is impractical to include figures in your models at a scale smaller than about 1:125. The calculations used to achieve these values are included below… That older article now points to this page, as this article is more accurate and covers additional figure types.)īased on my calculations, here is the approximate scaling factor for each common LEGO figure (from largest to smallest). ![]() (This revisits a topic I first explored in 2013 with the blog post calculating minifig scale. This article shows you how I calculated the “scale” for various LEGO figures as they compare to the size of real-live humans. This page shows the calculations behind my article in issue #13 of Bricks Magazine. With a wide variety of colours, lighting options and effects, anyone can light up their LEGO® set.By Tom Alphin, author of the bestselling book The LEGO Architect, which explores how to build 7 styles of architecture using LEGO. Light My Bricks LEGO® Lighting Components provide an easy DIY way for LEGO® fans to customize their models using LED lights. Built-in Smart IC Chipset which prevents the unit from overheating and overloading.Circuit Protection: Overload Protection, Surge Protection, Leakage Protection etc.This power adaptor has been officially approved by Light My Bricks and is safe to power your beautiful display of lights. We do not recommend our customers using other USB wall adaptors on the market as it will run the risk of damaging the LEDs overtime (LEDs may go dim) and this is not covered under our 2 year warranty. This wall adaptor comes with various international power connections. The Light My Bricks Universal Power Adaptor can be used to connect and power up to 400 LEDs across two USB Ports. ![]()
