This Coronet-style folding camera front and bellows assembly is a highly readable, hobby-ready prop for dioramas, model-railroad layouts, and display cases. The model captures the mechanical front: a concentric circular lens opening set within a decorative front plate with four corner fastener cues, paired folding struts with hinge clevises, two coil-spring housings on the folding baseplate, a central latch/strike plate, and preserved pleated bellows. Textures such as leatherette and chrome cues are represented as geometry only; all readable text and logos have been removed.
You will receive one master STL delivered at 1:87 (HO) scale. This single HO master is intended to be the definitive printing file; if you need a different scale, rescale the file in your slicer or request a custom conversion. Print with the baseplate down to reduce supports, use 0.12–0.2 mm layers for crisp detail, and consider a slightly thicker wall or higher perimeter count to strengthen thin strut arms and spring coils. Paint with matte black for the leatherette areas and gloss metallic for struts and hardware; a dark wash in the bellows pleats adds depth. Note: the original photo used as reference was partially cropped; rear body and top control details were not visible and are therefore not modeled.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
