Shoot Your Bricks is the place to be for LEGO and stop motion enthusiasts.
I'm a fan of the original LEGO movies and characters, and I prefer stop-motion films based off of LEGO characters to traditional movies.
My favorite theme is LEGO City and my favorite characters are Chase McCain and Max. In fact, I actually made my own character, Lucas Gunford, based off of those characters.
Best of all, my channel is clean and family-friendly!

Yeah, I’ve decided to try out some Gold brick from Amazon But I’m still a legal purist But money is more bigger than the other stuff so it pushed me towards the cheaper Option I’m in the process of building a dry bulk trailer
Appreciate the vids
Appreciate the support!
Thank you! Even though it’s 3yr old I , have been looking for tutorials like this. Most others go so fast I can’t keep up 🤣🤣🤣
So ... are we saying the Mega Bloks figure are actually a better presentation for scale models?
The problem is that nothing is to scale. Do you base it off of minifig height? Or width? Or volume? Humans come in so many different sizes, so maybe we should base it on something more standardized, like door height. Or door width? They'd give very different results.
thx man bes tips ever
too many freedom units. we use metric here
Love it!!
Heres the thing much like minecraft you really cant get figure scale. Its because the walls we built with are very thick so you can either get minifigure scale but sacrifice interior or have minifigure scale interior and sacrifice accuracy. Yes minifigure scale is 6 studs wide however 2 of those studs are car walls. So you only get 4 studs of interior. So if yoy then instead have the 6 stud wide car interior you once again need the extra 2 studs for car walls.
I want a minifigure-scale DS-1 Orbital Battle Station please (The Death Star).
There is one thing that destroys everything. Figure is 2 feet wide.
There is one thing that destroys everything. Figure is 2 feet wide.
Used to build ww2 fighters and tanks to precise minifig scale including using plates instead of studs to extend.
FYI, the standard gauge for american railroads is 4.8 feet wide.
Sadly this has always ben the big downside of Lego vehicles. IRL they can have much thinner spaces in the full frame, like doors. Also Humans cn adjust our positioning so we can sit even right next to each other, maybe not comfortably but we can like for compact cars. But for Lego a minifig can't adjust their body to sit right next to each other due to the arms unless you sit 1 fig further forward and the other flush against the back of the seat. This means a minifig sitting normally needs 4 studs wide of space, and we all know that's a lot fo space to take up. THis results in 2 options for vehicles, they either have to have it be 1 fig per seat row for smaller vehicles like Emmet's compact car fromt he Lego Movie, or they need to make the car much bigger and you get ones that look kind of rediculously large. Same for other kinds of vehicle sets like transports, you either make the set affordable and smaller in carry capacity then the canon amount of occupants, or you make it huge and more expensive. We can see this in passenger planes and the Lego Milenium Falcon sets. Goes to show Lego doesn't always do well with scale accuracy.
I think it gonna be better if you use doors like 2 meters, because lego minifigures haven’t realistic, i mean legs is to short, head is to big, if door have 2 m long and 6 bricks tall, 1m=3bricks tile=33sm and lego minifigure=133sm tall
actually the mustang is 1968 fastback not a 1970 like you thought, which the 68 mustang is smaller at 5.9 inches wide but fender flares shouldn't count to the proportions because they are fender flares which is a modification to the vehicle, and is like bodykits and stuff, now if a vehicle that has fender flares in real life is smaller than a lego car with fender flares then yes it would be too wide then, and also roughly 1;24th (; so it wont timestamp) scale for 8 wide
youre using the incorrect measurement system, because lego is danish. and obviously they use the superior measuring system known as metric
So all lego figures need a diet?
I don’t wanna know your foot fetish. Just give me proper measurements in centimeters
easy 1/38-1/42 depending, I use 1/38 because roughly equals 1 stud = 1 foot.
Well, there's some nuance to consider. Minifig proportions are... weird, too weird to just have a 1 foot/1 stud ratio. It's nearly impossible to have two Minifigs sit comfortably side by side, even shoulder-to-shoulder, without making the vehicle 8 studs wide. So the more "realistic" you want a LEGO car to be, the bigger scale you have to make it.
bro is doing gods work
I don’t care about minifigure scale as much as I care about minifigure compatibility. Although the oversized AT-RTs are annoying.
Some Star Wars UCS sets are in the right scale I believe.
Official LEGO copyright designates the bumps on top of the elements as knobs. A stud is a LEGO element in and of itself. They are not interchangeable
There’s a guy on UA-cam who makes actual minifig scale planes. They’re massive, they fill a room. Minifig scale has to be cartoony, with oversized cars and undersized buildings, planes and boats or else it becomes impossible to build most things.
Next time please use metric system.
Speed champions is minifig scale
Minifigs are much wider than a person. Theoretically LEGO cars should also be wider
I prefer the old city scale
Lego trains don't overhang the tracks by 1 and a half feet on both sides unlike real US trains. The trucks on the train (the wheel assembly) has large outside sections for the suspension.
I feel like I’m having Déjà vu with this video… is this a re-upload?
I think that City trucks have to be 8 studs wide or?
8 stud wide car Minifig scale is based on minifig width not height
Ok so the thing is minifigs aren't accurately proportioned to real people, they're head's are WAY too big, legs are too short and they are so ungodly wide that it drives me mad. So trying to translate minifigures as actual scale is a bit of a bogus idea. Plus lego studs are way, WAY too wide to be even armoured vehicle walls. Can you image a city car with a door a foot thick? Did you consider that? Or did you also forget to imagine a 5-and-a-half foot tall person 3 feet across with a head over 1 foot across?? That's the thing with these videos, they forget that minifiges are not to scale. They're way off. And regular Lego studs impose unrealistic restrictions for this scale. Instead we should do it the way Lego already does, maintaining realism and functionality with reference to minifigs while also not distorting the proportions.
I wish lego would ditch the mini-figs and make realistic proportioned human figures but the fanboys would go mad
Bruh... THE DUST!!!
EASY: 6 studs for cars, 8 studs for trucks and trains. 8 stud wide cars simply feel wrong compared to a minifig, no need to do math.
WeBrick is great for MOC parts list, and is definitely more convenient than Bricklink. I’ve bought 3 times from them and have not had any missing pieces, have made so many of MOCs go from digital to in my hand, and I love it. Other than slight color variations, the brick quality is definitely good enough
For stop motion I would go for webrick but for mocs then bricklink
its not worth it, price is crap
0:56 I think the Lego Mustang measurements are a little off. It shouldn’t be much wider than 7 studs since the base is 6 wide and the fenders add another 0.5 studs on each side.
THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS 🔥
I had the caravan set
But what is a foot? Greetings from Not-USA 🤣
0.305 meters
Is this a reup? I feel like I saw this video months ago
I compared this as if Lego minifigs were at human scale (Thanks to one of Ninjago's magazines) which showed the height of the ninja, being 6 foot 4 (1.95 meters). The first thing I did was compare it to my 9.5-inch-tall Lego Ninjago dragon. Again, I put it on a life-sized scale. I multiplied 1.95 by 4.9 and I got 9.55. That put the dragon at 9.55 meters (31.3 feet) I tried something random. I decided to calculate the height of the Unikitty minifig. Including her horn, she got to at least 6 foot 5. (Remember, this is put on a life-sized scale) I did the same with the Ultrakatty figure I had lying around for five years. By multiplying 1.95 by 3, I got a total of 5.85, which would make Ultrakatty (If put on a real-life scale) 5.85 meters tall (19.1 feet). I still like your method, though the way I put it was on a real-life scale.
Chase McCain mentioned rahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
the issue you missed is height. the lego city sedan is taller than a minifgure. thats insane for a sedan. im relatively tall at six foot one, but im not just taller than every single sedan ive ever seen, im taller than landrover discovery 4. lego cars are not jsut to wide on the outside and to small on the inside, they simply are always to high
When it comes to building my models I tend to use 1:45 scale which I have discovered looks the best as it uses the minifigure height in comparison to a human as long as you assume a person is 6ft (which feels about right) this means that 3 studs equals 1 metre which is really easy to build with an eventhough interiors for vehicles aren’t the best, the height and overall exterior size look accurate which is more important for using vehicles on Mocs
