Your observation that Minifigs themselves are not true to scale and therefore distort all other measurements is duly noted, and I shall refrain from using them as a measuring stick henceforth.
And I thoroughly agree that this particular model is cute and clever at the same time!

I agree that Kris’ is a nicer model but this one has an endearing cuteness and a pull-back motor.

It would indeed be a struggle to get a 9V, 12V or PF engine into a creation this small. Well done!

While I still think http://www.classic-town.net/?p=6691 is closer to minifig scale, this little beauty is both immediately recognisable and incredibly cute at the same time! I sense a new building fad coming!
