>> Right, if a minifig represents a 6 foot tall person, then each brick represents a height of 1.5 feet. I’m just wondering what I should use as a standard floor to ceiling height, like Tim’s 5 bricks per floor guideline. I have not had a consistent building scale and I want to be consistent moving forward, to avoid problems like having a farmhouse that is bigger than the church.
Well the problem there is that there’s no real standard in real life either, it’s what the architect decides. Floor to ceiling can range anything from 7’6″ (my house) to 12′ or more. When I took architectural drafting classes we usually used 10′ as the standard when drawing elevation views, in a skyscraper it’s likely to be more though. With Legos there, there’s all kinds of real-life practical considerations that can be ignored, and you can just build based on how you want it to look. I tend to build my ceilings high cause I like high ceilings in real life.
