Approx . 52mm, but you will only find 54mm figures, 1/32 scale. They will work with 1/35 since not all people are one size, some are larger, some are smaller. The key is to keep constants such as weapons and equipment in the same scale, either 1/35 or 1/32.

It's quite close to 54mm.

The easy way to do the conversion is to remember one fact: a milimeter is almost exactly equal to 1/25 inch. The rest is simple arithmetic. A 54mm figure is 54/25" tall - that is, 2.16 ". Divide 72" (six feet - the average height of a modern adult) by 2.16" and you get 33.9. So technically a 54mm figure is on 1/33.9 scale, but given the variation of human heights (and model manufacturers' accuracy), 1/35 is quite close. Lots of modelers use 1/32 scale, 1/35 scale, and 54mm figures together; the differences are barely perceptible.

Hope this helps.
