Millennium Falcon is constructed at minifigure-scale, measuring 84cm in length. While perfect accuracy cannot be verified, I think the Millennium Falcon appears appropriate beside minifigures and am therefore satisfied with this scale. The onscreen vessel reaches 34.75m in length, giving an approximate ratio of 1:41.369 for 75192 Millennium Falcon.

Due to its success and effectiveness the HAVw A6 Juggernaut was utilized by the Galactic Empire, successor to the Galactic Republic. [3] Behind the scenes [ ] Using that figure and the following simple calculation, we can ascertain the approximate minifigure-scale for every vehicle. 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] 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. 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.This article needs appropriate citations. Help us improve this article by referencing valid resource material. Remove this notice when finished. Star Destroyer and Death Star could have been fun additions just to put their true magnitude in another perspective. Minifig scale Imperial Destroyer would be about 24.4m long based on their purported length of around 1km. " 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." I recently discussed the scale issues with the different Hailfire models, but I went by 1:48 scale. At that scale, every 1/4” represents 1’, and 6’ tall person would be 1.5”. A minifig, shaved and excluding the stud), happens to be 1.5” tall. At this scale, by the 22’/6.8m height I used for my calculation, the 8” tall Technic model is about 45% larger than it should be. If you go by the 8.5m length, the 9-1/4” long model is still 14” too long. By this same scale, the new X-Wing that people complained was too tiny is actually still 12.5% on the long side. But, unbelievable as it sounds, at 1:48 scale, the plane from the recent Amelia Earhart GWP is only off by a small fraction of a stud. In real life, this is a plane that seats seven. One pilot, and three rows of two seats below and aft. This is a plane that people complained should have been at least twice as long, but if you actually look up photos of Earhart with the plane, it’s spot on...based strictly on a minifig’s height. Perhaps one of the most interesting takeaways is that the new, smaller redesign X-Wing is the closest to actual minifigure scale.

Comparing this with the builds of previous Turbo Tanks, the build of this one is more akin to the Star Destroyers, with Technic framework clipped onto System shells. As a result, it's a sturdy build that has all the angles that make it look true to the source material. Juggernauts also brought the destructive potential of an entire armored regiment to the battlefield. [2] A6 models were armed with a broad array of two anti-personnel laser cannons, [1] a dorsal turret-mounted rapid-repeating rotary laser cannon [2] manned by a clone gunner, [5] two retractable hull-mounted anti-personnel flex ordnance launchers, two twin forward-mounted anti-personnel light blaster cannons, and one dorsal turret-mounted heavy laser cannon. The armament granted the vehicle commander a bit of tactical flexibility. [2] History [ ]

Larger minifigure-scale vehicles

As mentioned above, ascertaining accurate minifigure-scale is challenging because of their characteristic proportions. Scale ratios of anything between approximately 1:32 and 1:45 are therefore common, reflecting minifigures' width and height, respectively. However, I consider a much simpler method most successful on this occasion. The wheels are a fun setup, as only two of then are actually affixed to the rest of the tank. The remaining eight have friction-less connections that cause them to swivel and "climb" uneven terrain. 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.

I'd like to see the math done to calculate how close (or far) these "closest" sets are in terms of scale...and then see them ranked from closest to Death Star. :) Includes Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos, Clone Commander Gree and Elite Corps Clone Trooper, plus 2 Battle Droids Notes: Three different lengths are commonly provided for the TIE Advanced x1. Detailed fan calculations have established that the length is nearest to the shortest of those canon measurements, which would match the design in 75150 Vader's TIE Advanced vs. A-wing Starfighter. I once heard that the UCS Millenium Falcon, the basis for the list, is actually slightly too big by a very small margin."

Minifigure-scale methodology

Certain memorable vehicles would be decidedly unsuitable for minifigure-scale renditions, based upon their incredible size. Nevertheless, we can establish how large they would need to be, for accurate scaling beside minifigures! Venator-class Star Destroyer HAVw A6 Juggernauts were used fairly extensively in the Battle of Kashyyyk alongside AT-APs, where they went up against enemy NR-N99 tank droids and DSD1 dwarf spider droids. The significance of minifigure-scale varies dramatically between subjects. Larger starfighters such as the T-65 X-wing or TIE/sk Striker have achieved near-perfection and that is apparent simply when looking at them, without needing any calculations. Other vehicles deviate slightly from the source material, but are ideally-suited to interaction with minifigures.

Well I’ve got 10 on this list, so I guess my collection is pretty well scaled. Of course it may be 13 if I include the Death Star, Corellian Corvette, and Nebulon B.The HCVw A9 turbo tank first appeared in Gareth Edwards' 2016 anthology film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. [5] The vehicle was identified in the corresponding visual guide for the film on the same day. [2] Appearances [ ] As for the Flagg, at 6’ long, that would only be 115’ long. Even helicopter carriers seem to start at about five times that length. The USS Gerald R Ford is right around 100x that length. I can’t find any hard numbers, but based on photos, I think I did find one “aircraft carrier” that was shorter. In 1849, the SMS Vulcano became the first “balloon carrier”, when it was used to launch bombs carried by hot air balloons against Venice. Over 40 years earlier, the 127’ HMS Pallas was used to launch kites bearing propaganda against Napoleon. So, when you get down to the length of a football field, you’re largely talking about unmanned aircraft, or at max maybe one small helicopter. I think it would have been more interesting to highlight a subset of ships, like the ones that were the closest to actual mini figure scale. Then perhaps follow-up articles about ones that are further away from “true” minifig scale.
