+1 for brenden perkins great trade! +2 for Mrlegoninja great trades!

The wife and I are about to buy our first ever Lego set. Any recommendations? She likes the city/Creator/buildings you know real life things. I rather get something in the theme she likes (might warm her up more to hobby). Thank you! The set does not have to be in production. But under 180$ usd. Thank you!

Updated list. Please help finish my Collectible Minifig collections! :o) Thank you for looking

Great 5 fig for 5 fig trade with Master Vahi +1!

You know after thinking about it, I might just make a model and skip the whole "scaling" aspect.

Well the 1 brick height = 1 foot might work, since they make 1x4x5 windows, and my windows are 5 feet tall. Granted they are like 30inches but 4 studs = 1 meter should work. Nice model btw. Now to decide how many bricks I need. I was going to do 2 stud = 1 foot so yeah like you said 1 stud = 6" but my replica would be like 84 studs long or like 26 inches. The 4 studs = 3 feet makes the model about 17.X ish inches wide, much easier and much cheaper. I am not doing the interior walls.

Works for me! Thanks all. I think I will go 1 meter = 4 studs and then 1 foot = 1 brick height.

I am actually just going for the outside shell of the house, nothing on the inside. I may have to change my feet to meters and do what you said about 4 studs = 1 meter = 3feet, that would cut the length down to 17.5 inches. 17.5 inch x 10ish inch might be more workable. and look more normal. If i think of my self as a minifig, and a minifig is 3 bricks height, that means if I am 6 foot tall, every brick height would be 2 feet? Seems like a short house.

No standard two story house, wrap around porch. I was thinking of just using standard windows from bricklink, the 1x4x5, since each window is 2ftx5ft tall (about). So I could have a brink height be 1ft. I feel this will be a squatty house tho. Lets say my house is 42 feet long, at 2 studs each that would be 84 long , so about 27 inches, and lets say my house is 25 feet tall (at the peak), this would be about 10 inches tall, or I could do every three feet add a brick length tall. That would be about 3 more inches tall. I guess that seems about right?

What are your ideas about making a replica of your personal house? Should I used 1 foot = 2 length brick? Also what ratios do people use for height? Any feedback would be great!
