RE: [DSII] Building Scale in DS2

Try 1mm = 1 foot.  (1:300).  Exaggerate the vertical dimension slightly.
  A 3 
story house is @ 30 feet tall or 3cm.

Coming to the trees conversation late...

I am currently using Scenic Woodlands autumn trees mounted on 1-1.25"
washers. Then I place the trees on orange, tan, and red felt cutouts to
define the area of the woods.

I have also used brown corduroy to represent tilled soil (cultivated
terrain) for DS2.

But on to my real questions.

I am having trouble finding/making buildings that look right next to DS2
tanks (1/285th - 1/300th). Perhaps I could impose on the group to help.

DS2 tanks seem to be 7-15mm tall.
How tall would a 1 story house (peaked roof) be?
1 story flat roof building?
2 story house with a peaked roof?
3 story flat roofed office building?
Tool Shed?
Freeway overpass

In the same way, DS2 vehicles seem to be 20-45mm long and 10-25mm wide.
What would be the dimensions for:
A small house
A large house
Corner store
Supermarket
Office tower
Mall
Width of road (2 lane undivided)
