There's no such thing as a single minifig scale. What scale best suits you depends on what you want to do with them....For vehicles and trains and whatnot, I prefer a scale of roughly 1/45. This works out as follows:
(from left to right)
-regular cars; five studs wide
-SUVs: six studs wide including mudguards and running boards
-large vans and light trucks: six studs wide, sometimes 7 at the rear
-full size trucks: 7 studs wide including mudguards
-trains: 8 studs (9 studs including various small bits that stick out, such as railing).
В основном это всё относится к неустанным попыткам некоторых ответить на вопрос "как посадить 2 минифигурки рядом в легковую машину?". Ответ: "Никак, потому что - Minifigs are awkwardly proportioned little fellows - и совместить их пропорции с пристойным внешним видом нереально".
И вот ещё одна цитатка, которая должна бы остудить некоторые hot shots:
I use my minifig scale models as part of dioramas with cyclists, pedestrians and buildings, where it's important that the figures have more-or-less the right height compared to the vehicles. IMO 1/45 works quite well for this.
