Post by YT300000 »

Wouldn't it be awesome if the LEGO ISD was to scale with LEGO people?

Then if would be 37.55 metres long!

I'd buy that set right away. After buying an 18-wheeler to transport it. :)

Yeah. It would probably take months...

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I'd love to have one if someone else pays for it. But I would want to build it personally.Why have a LEGO if you can't build it yourself?

In a lego dude is 2 inches tall, and we assume 2 meters scaled height, that's 1 inch=1 meter, then an DS1 model would be 160 000 inches or 2.5 miles in diameter. The DS2 on the other hand, would be 14 miles in diameter!

Without hair, a LEGO person is 4 cm (not counting the stud on their head). 2 inches is 5 cm. I measured a LEGO person this morning to do the math.

On a related note, if the AT-AT Walker toy was to scale with the normal SW toys, a full-grown adult would be able to stand up inside it (assuming, of course, that the second level deck was removed), and a to scale ISD would measure over a city block in length.

Its nice to see we all still admit to having Lego :)

Actually, I'd love to see a Scale ISD, and Scales of other Spaceships from other Franchies.

Actually, something like a scale ISD would go up in a science center

A realistic set would be a scale Blockade Runner. It would only be about 4 times as long as the existing one.

A Lego ISD would look so good in my loungeroom, on the coffee table. A scaled one is about as big as the land I live on.

At over 37 meters, all those pieces. were they to make such a thing, it would probably be far too expensive for many people.

i think it would be cheaper to construct the thing out of aluminium and lightweight composites and fit it with jump-jet engines then it would be to make it out of legos.

Great topic! I posted a similar one about the action figures (but I thought up that one while I was hiking in the mountains last week, so don't accuse me of copying). It really is incredible when you think about it! ; )
