Dimensions of the layers in the mini column?

I just spent some time trying to find the dimensions of the layers in the mini column. I did not find any exact dimensions or relations better than what is bellow. I used the drawn dimensions to start a 3D model of the mini column for a project I am doing. So my question is: Do you agree with the dimensions of the layer below? Are they realistic?

thanks

By dimensions, do you mean the thickness of the layers? I believe that varies across cortical regions. For example, V1 has a thicker L4, and motor cortices have thin layer 4 but thick layer 5.

I like your visualizations. They look pretty realistic to me.

I also found a paper reporting the dimensions of the rat somatosensory cortex (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4203687/pdf/nihms-587565.pdf)

Here is the relevant figure:
