Combat Digi-Q tank scale?

Hello,
A friend of mine and me just got our tanks and we want to create a diorama to fight our battles on. The problem is that we are not sure of the scale. In the FAQ it says 1:144, which is close to N scale. But N scale buildings seem a bit small compared to the tanks. Does anyone knows were to get military accessories and european-style buildings that are closer to the scale of our beloved mini tanks?

N-Scale is probably the closest you'll come to mass produced items in the scale range for the tanks.

No, no not N - H0 is your scale.

compare them to the combats from Rocco for H0 trains ...

The digi´s are a little shorter (cartoonish) but that´s all.

Your scale is 1/87.

I´m building a diorama too and everything for H0 has just the

right scale...

The scale of the tanks varies actually - the Tiger is 1/140 whereas the Sherman is 1/118. I get these numbers by dividing the length of the real tank by the length of the DigiQ.
This difference in scale makes sense when you consider that in real life the Tiger was huge compared to the Sherman but the DigiQ versions are the same size.
