This sculpt captures a classic 1950s pin-up bathing-beauty pose: a confident contrapposto stance, right hand resting at the hip and left arm lifted behind the head, weight on the right leg with the left knee bent and crossed. The subject wears a halter-style bathing suit with a ruffled bust detail, fitted high-waist lower, and open-toe heeled sandals. Hair is styled in a short, waved retro cut; facial features are generic and not intended to portray any real person. Surface sculpting emphasizes smooth, stylized anatomy, garment folds at the waist and hips, and crisp shoe straps and sole details. The base of the figure is minimal and intended for placement on a small display plinth or integrated diorama ground.
Intended uses and fit: This piece is designed for hobbyists building mid-century dioramas, HO / 1:87 layouts, and small display collections. The figure works well as a focal character on seaside, poolside, boardwalk, or retro storefront vignettes and pairs naturally with mid-century vehicles, street props, and signage. It also suits collectible display shelves where a stylized mid-century aesthetic is desired.
Included master and scaling: The package is provided with a single 1:87 (HO) master STL intended as the authoritative source for scaling. Use the 1:87 master to print directly for HO-scale layouts; to print at other scales, uniformly scale the master file by the ratio between 1:87 and your target scale (for example, multiply by 87/72 to convert to 1:72). Only a single 1:87 master file is included — downstream scale conversion and resizing are documented but not provided as separate files.
Print notes and recommended orientation: The sculpt is modelled as a single-part figure with delicate limb-to-body joins and thin shoe straps. For printing, the narrow features (ankles, shoe straps, the halter strap and ruffle edges) can be fragile at very small sizes; orient the figure with the backside down or at a slight angle to minimize long unsupported overhangs. Support placement is recommended under the lower skirt area, behind the calves, under the heels and under the lifted arm where it meets the torso. Use fine-layer settings and consider a resin printer for maximum detail; for filament printers, print at the largest practical scale for crisp ruffle and facial detail. After printing, light sanding of seam areas and careful cleaning of support touchpoints will give the cleanest finish.
File contents and delivery: The listing is prepared from a studio sculpt of an unnamed pin-up figure and is delivered as a 1:87 master STL file. The master includes a single watertight shell optimized for hobbyist post-processing; it does not include pre-split parts or alternate poses. The model has been checked for non-manifold geometry and general printability at hobby scales, but you may want to run additional slicer checks for your chosen printer and resin/filament profile.
Notes on provenance and rights: This is an original sculpt in a retro pin-up style. The figure is intentionally generic and does not depict any identifiable living or historical person. If you intend to use the sculpt for commercial production (casting, resale of physical painted figures), check licensing and intended-use requirements within the marketplace terms.
What you get: one 1:87 (HO) master STL file of the pin-up bathing-beauty figure, a short print-setup recommendation, and guidance for scaling to other hobby scales. The sculpt is optimized as a single, display-ready pose for mid-century themed scenes.
