I actually agree with what you are saying but wanted to raise some points of discussion. I have built a KC All time team using all the sizes based on real height and weigth proportions. They are in Guttmanns inbox right now awaiting some color.
Because I got NO discussion on this when I originally posted it I made an executive decision for the MFCA and went with 5mm = 1 foot as that seemed to be the closest to representing the average heigth of the players. I would love to be able to say that MF is 25 mm scale. It would mean so much more to the average Joe on the street if we had a scale to qualify what we are doing.
We have all had models as kids and are use to collecting these as well as other things based on the scale. It would also keep any new manufacturers from coming along and creating taller figures and instead could create to the 25 mm scale. The New Mcfarlanes for example are not 25 mm scale and thus are not 25 mm miniature football figures even if you do find a way to put them on a base. Now we have the start of, as model railroading does, N scale, HO scale etc...
If you use the 5mm = 1 ft a 1 1/4 inch figure is about 6 6 ft 5 in (Oh for advanced math skills now-
)
If you use 1/2 inch = 1 yard a 1 1/4 inch figure is 7ft 6 in. tall
Math guys-is this correct?

i don't believe that the different heights in the figures matters, from what i have seen there is not a drastic enough difference to seperate them into different scale categories. as a matter of fact, i am thinking of eventually making a team with all companies figures just to have different heights on the field. i.e. the regular miggle figures be scaled to be doug flutie or darren sproles size, etc..
as long as they all fit on the same sized base, they all have to travel the same amount of distance, the only factor may be weight.
don't know if this is the type of answer that you are looking for, but, it's something. |
