The Perfect LEGO Minifigure Scale Using My Math Degree
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2024
- I've had a few questions about the Master Mouldie Minifigure Scale (catchy, right) over the last year and thought it was about time for me to make an updated video. After all, I doubt many people are getting far enough into the old video to hear what I had to say. While my scale remains unchanged over these 10 months, I have built many more models that scale down to the height of a typical LEGO fig: 4cm. I hope this finds you useful and if there is any other way you use, please do share it in the comments!!!

So what i did for my pirate ships and correct me if im wrong. I took the official blueprints of the black pearl took the refference figure on the blueprint and scaled the image until the figure was 4 cm in height. From there i printed the blueprint on A1 paper and started building from there. Im terrible at math and the sizes of many potc ships aren't available at all.
That's a great way to avoid working with the numbers!!! It will also give you a better outline to work with than a box that doesn't match the curves of the model. Enjoy the build!!!
Damn bro, now do star destroyer minifigure scale
It's only 5333 bricks long... 😂
@@mastermouldie WE BELIEVE IN YOU BROSKI YOU CAN DO IT , 😎😎😎
@@aidan_6154Guess I know how I'm celebrating 100k. Better start saving up the grey bricks!
@@mastermouldie consider me as ur biggest fan brother 🫱🏼🫲🏽
Thank you for your support!
Now that’s a degree put to great use
Thanks, got to use it somehow
You’re speaking my language. 1/45 is the best minifig scale and Lego set scales are all over the place. Funnily, I am editing a video right now about scale
Thanks, it really does look best with figs. I look forward to watching it!
I have been using a 1/46 for my models. The average height of a human is 69 inches and the average height of a Lego Minifigure is 1.5 inches tall. 69/1.5 is 46
@@dopa__mine That works too! The most important thing is consistency. At least for the smaller models!
Gets math degree “I haven’t really used it besides Lego” what a based answer
This has to be the best use of a math degree I’ve ever seen. Bravo, my friend, bravo 👏 👏
Thank you! Worth every penny!!!
The issue with true mini figure scale is that the width is about 1:35th but the height is 1:45th. A minifigure is definitely an odd unit considering how wide they are.
I'd love to see some of these ships matching LEGO's minifig dimensions. Just a bunch of ultra wide starfighters 😂
I was about to do this today, you saved me so much time !! I feel so lucky coming across your video !
You're very welcome. The spreadsheet makes it so easy to scale ships!
What about the actual recent Lego Tie Interceptor? Is it minifigure scaled? because its wings are like twice as big as the tie mod
The width still checks out, but all four wings are each 2 plates too wide as you said, as well as 6 plates too long. Similar to the 2020 tie, the cockpit is to scale, but wings need a little modification. Great question!
Wow looking at lego vader on top of his to scale ship, shows how short minifig proportions are. Vader was toweringly tall in rebels.
The rebels style in general is a brain ache for any builder. Bo's Gauntlet is MASSIVE in rebels, but turns out its not too far from the Slave 1 (3 times smaller) in live action. I love the art style, but I wouldn't try to make sense of the scale 😂
ive always wanted to see a big ship like republic venator minifigure scale in lego, like in the show (and i can image) its huge inside so how would it translate to lego lol. great video btw
Thank you! Imagine all of the interior space. It would have to be build in modules that represent the many scenes from Star Wars inside one.
I may have to check back on my MOCs to see if they're all correctly minifig scale... which I'm sorta afraid of because I've made too many ;-;
As long as they look good on display, there's nothing that needs to be done. But it would be interesting to see how many fit your scale without knowing. I'm sure LEGO don't try to keep to a scale and yet they still have some scaled sets!
I’ve said it before, 1:45 is a good display scale, 1:35 is more useable and playable. 1:45 tends to sacrifice a lot of details for the sake of size and eventually it devolves into a weird midi scale
Definitely depends on the ships like you say, there is a reason LEGOs playset scale is most popular!
@@mastermouldie not really? For starwars, maybe that's the case considering the geometry is pretty lenient allowing for cockpit room, etc. But if you look at cars, 1:45 is simply way too small
@@bobdickens3674 1:45 is my scale, LEGOs playset scale is nearly twice as big as that when it comes to cars such as speed champions. Some things just don't work in 1:45
@@mastermouldie which is why 1:35 works better in most cases as a play scale. It allows for stuff like cars, planes, etc. to actually be playable and functional.
I saw a video that said that the 2021 TIE Fighter is actually (almost) minifigure scale.
What is your opinion on that?
Everyone has thier own fig scale. That set definitely saves shelf space but I feel the wings are reduced a little too much to keep the price down. I look forward to seeing the scale of the next one!
I'd say these are really good points but i think minifigure scale is more of a range since minifigures aren't completely proportinal to humans. Take Yoda as an example, he should be much shorter in the films only reaching everyone elses legs but in lego form he reaches their shoulders. Lego is more of an exaggeration and like other art there can be perception and illusion tricks that help vehicles scale better to each other
My fig scale is purely based on the height of the common fig, so there are definitely some gaps. Someone else mentioned a scale taking into account the width of figs too and I think that would be hilarious! Perhaps we need a LEGO yoda scale for his ships 😂
could you publish that excel with the som or just publish the formule to be able to copy past it in a own dock?
I'm not sure how I'd share it through RUclips without a pay wall so I'll make a video on it with every step explained. I'll let you know when it's up!
Video is up with the code in the description!
I wish I could've made a Minifigure scale Zeta Class shuttle, but roughly scaling it to the Shuttle Tydirium from 2015 had to suffice.
That ship is massive! Brick Vault have one that is the same 1:45 scale that I use if you want to check that out ruclips.net/video/AVYVC7G5MKc/видео.html
@@mastermouldie I think I saw it before but they used the new TIE Bomber as comparison so that may have been a different one.
I built mine with replaceable containers though since in BF2 and Jedi: Fallen Order you can see different colors on them.
I‘m also a fan of including features you could see in an actual set when building mocs.
@@96Assassine That's the best way to build MOCs, that way if it's in a new show with another new colour you can add that too! Interiors are a big part of MOC building, I think Brick Vault sacrifice them for stability, but they add so much story to our ships.
Was was your intention with getting a math degree? What job did you want to get?
Great question! I really enjoy Math and originally wanted to get into banking but eventually I started looking towards Coding and CGI. Math allows me to try many different paths and over the last 2 years I've had my fair share of finance, design and now minifigure scales!
I'll explain this in a bit more detail in my next Ask Mouldie!
As you seem to be responding to every comment, may I ask: Is the UCS Razor Crest minifigure scale?
Of course! The length and height match a 1:35 scale that is also a popular choice for fig scale, but the width is 10% too big (about 1:32). LEGO probably did it to help stabilize those giant engines.
@@mastermouldieDamn, you really have got this down to a science. So if the width is slightly too long, how come the front doesn't have enough space for both bunks? Is that just an issue with lego bricks and plates being huge if they existed at human scale?
@@lord_egg Thank you! You've pretty much nailed it. If walls were the size of LEGO bricks they'd barely have any space in the spaceships so some shortcuts are taken to make one side as accurate as they can.
Bros reeeaaching for a use for his math degree 💀
It cost enough 😂
So if i wanna build a minifig scale tie fighter, how do i simply calculate it to minifig scale?
I recommend checking this out first: ruclips.net/video/R-jKhfwNutk/видео.html
If you still have any questions, please let me know!
How is your interceptor minifigure scale if the proportions are all wrong
If you watch Return of the Jedi you'll notice the scale does line up to the original model. Across the recent animations & games, the scale of many ships has been twisted. The exact measurements can also be found in nearly any different Star Wars dictionary
@@mastermouldie But that’s not what I asked
I don’t use exact maths for scale. A 1x1 width is roughly a foot, and a 1x3 is roughly a metre.
This is based on the fact the a 5 brick tall wall is roughly equivalent to 6 feet or 2 meters and 5 bricks hight is the same as 6x(X) plate.
Can't fault it if it works! Everyone finds their own way, and yours is one of the best when working with bricks. It's very hard to use 0.XX of a brick with my exact numbers 😂
I always used 3 studs = 1 meter scale so its nice to see i was very close despite not being great in maths :).
That's also a great minifigures scale! Much easier to work too with for that round number.
What would you say a foot would be in lego
@@The_og_moonwalker 1 Foot = 1 Brick works though if you want to be pin point accurate to 1:45 scale, it works out 1.016 bricks
@@mastermouldie thx
Is minifigure-scale not a waste of time when minifigure proportions are so crazily off? I feel like no matter how hard you try to make your models the correct scale it is likely to look wrong with minifigures in some way because minifigures are just wrong..
It will never be perfect all the time (Yoda's height is also way off for instance) but it's nice to have a fixed scale to compare the sizes of different models of ships.
I usually display my figures separately or like Vader, on top of the ship so that helps too!
I can't find the link for the tie
ReBrickable have disabled most of my instructions and I'm working on a fix. I will let you know when they are available again!
Would a minifig scale zeta-class cargo shuttle be too big?
That’d be huge. BrickVault has one.
The only limit is our imagination!
@@crazydog1750 Looks pretty close to 1:45 scale, just over 2 grey baseplates!
@@mastermouldie Yeah, I believe that’s the scale BrickVault typically asks their designers to work in.
Cavegod and jerac are the best for figscale and incorporating detail imho. They are fantastic designers
he has the wrong measurements in 2:46 because in the mandalorian S3 ep3 4:34 you see that the interceptors are smaller even though they are closer to the camera
Bo's Gauntlet is a Kom'rk class transport rather than Fang Fighter, much bigger than the interceptor indeed. The Fang Fighter featured in the video would have been an escort to the bigger ship
Oh ok
I just got a little confused when you said you made it from Bo’s Gauntlet
@@johannesjensen5262 No problem, LEGO sold a full set and disney removed the main scene with them in. Very confusing
Isn't the scale supposed to be roughly one minifigs height to 5'8?
It can be whatever you like, but I found founding to 180cm worked best for the ships I'm creating!
@@mastermouldie that's pretty close. Good to know man, keep doing cool stuff
@@aixelsyd867 Thanks!
Build a minifig scale super star destroyer and at at
An AT-AT is definitely a project I'll tackle one day!
@@mastermouldie i would love to see it
A 4cm lego figure represents 180 cm 💀
Exactly!
The minifig feet are very tall
12cm tall, 30cm wide. What size shoe is that?😂
…damn bro I know some of the nerdiest nerds and even they haven’t fallen victim to the Disney Slave I censorship
Slave 1 is Jango's name for it, Boba only calls it Slave 1 in one of the old EU comics and that was to keep track of the many different Firesprays. Hot Wheels also released a die cast a few years ago (under disney) called Slave 1 in Jango's colours.
@@mastermouldie tbf I was making a joke just cuz of the whole "Boba Fett's Starship" discourse but thats actually interesting to know for trivia, ig
@@sheepycheeze No problem, now you know! Star Wars is full of discourse and most of it has an interesting explanation. Most of it...
@@mastermouldie I’m painfully aware of some of the outnthere Star Wars trivia…unfortunately…
