Adrian,
This looks fine other than I'm a little concerned with your average height
being 6'. Actual average height for men is 5'8", actual for women is 5'4".
Since minifig men and women are the same height, this should probably average
to 5'6". This gives a scale of about 3 bricks per meter at minifig scale.
However, I would have never been able to come up with that without your
previous post. Any thoughts?
Matt
