This listing supplies a single 1:87 (HO) master STL of a compact early-2000s tuner sedan modeled to read as a Dodge Neon SRT-4 silhouette for HO model railroading, diorama props, and kitbashing. The geometry prioritizes a strong, hobby-friendly silhouette over micro ornamentation: a rounded greenhouse, short front and rear overhangs, pronounced wheel arches sized for hobby wheels, simplified blocked window apertures, and recessed lower bumper cavities to improve robustness at HO scale. Fine manufacturer badges, grille filigree, and interior instrumentation are intentionally omitted to keep prints sturdy and practical for aftermarket glazing or wheel swaps.
What you receive
- One master STL delivered at 1:87 (HO). Miniature Reality provides a single HO master STL only; use the included conversion guidance below to scale in your slicer for other finished scales. No additional pre-scaled STLs are included.
- Geometry intent: printable outer shell with preserved wheel wells and separate wheel geometry positioned inside the shell to allow printing wheels independently or swapping in aftermarket wheels.
Visible model features
- Tuned-sedan silhouette consistent with early-2000s compact performance cues: rounded roofline, short overhangs, and distinctive raised wheel arches.
- Blocked window apertures and simplified interior designed to read as glazed when finished or to accept thin acrylic panes for aftermarket glazing.
- Lower bumper and diffuser areas modeled as recessed cavities for improved print robustness and to reduce fragile filigree at HO scale.
- Wheels modeled as separate elements contained inside the shell for easier removal and replacement.
Printing guidance (HO hobbyist focus)
- Optimized for HO printing. Recommended layer heights for filament printing: 0.12–0.18 mm; resin printers may use finer layers for crisper bumper recesses.
- Supports: add supports beneath deep front bumper recesses and any deep rear valance cavities. When printing the body as a single shell, orient to minimize roof and hood overhangs; consider printing wheels separately.
- Finishing: windows are intentionally blocked to simplify finishing. After priming and painting, fit separately printed or aftermarket wheels. For glazed windows, carefully cut and fit thin acrylic panes or use clear resin fill after painting.
Scale conversion guidance
- Supplied master: 1:87 (HO). To print at a different scale, uniformly scale the HO master in your slicer (example: to print at 1:64, scale the 1:87 master by 87/64 ≈ 1.359x). After scaling, inspect thin edges (vent lips, panel seams) and consider thickening them if necessary—silhouette details may become fragile when up- or down-scaled.
Provenance and notes
- Source metadata: this item originated from a legacy MeshRef automated stub labelled Dodge Neon SRT-4. Upstream identity confidence is low (0.30). The visible model features described above are present in the mesh, but operators or buyers seeking definitive manufacturer attribution should consider this an approximate silhouette reference rather than an authenticated manufacturer product.
Best uses
- HO model railroad street scenes, parking lots, and suburban dioramas seeking a compact tuner/performance silhouette.
- Kitbashing and conversion work — the simplified interior and clear panel cues make this a practical base for adding custom bumpers, roof chops, or spoilers.
- Quick printable props for shelf dioramas and displays where a readable silhouette and robust prints are priorities.
What is not included
- No additional pre-scaled STLs, no texture maps, and no high-resolution manufacturer badges. This is a hobbyist base mesh intended for private printing, modification, kitbashing, and layout use.
