This HO (1:87) master STL is a compact clustered vignette of dock workers designed for immediate placement on harbor dioramas, freight sidings and HO model-railroad layouts. Multiple adult laborers are arranged in contact to form a tight, readable silhouette that fits narrow quayside spaces. The group contains a variety of working poses — leaning, two-handed carrying, gesturing and braced standing — and includes integrated, non-branded crates, sacks and tool-like props. Clothing reads at scale as rolled sleeves, short overcoats and assorted caps; facial detail is minimal to preserve printability.
What you get
- One locked master STL sized for HO (1:87). This single file is the only included deliverable. To print at other scales, uniformly scale the STL in your slicer; standing adults in the HO file typically measure about 18–20 mm tall depending on pose.
Printing recommendations
- Resin: 0.05–0.10 mm layer height. Orient to minimize visible support scars on cloth surfaces and under crate overhangs. Plan supports under arm overlaps and where props project.
- FDM: 0.08–0.12 mm layer height; consider a smaller nozzle for improved fold rendering. Add a thin basing island for bed adhesion.
- If you need separate figures, split and remesh intersection zones and trim overlapping geometry before printing.
Notes and provenance
- The asset comes from a legacy MeshRef pipeline; Stage1 metadata is an automated stub and identity confidence is low, so this listing is flagged for manual review. The sculpt is deliberately general-purpose to suit kitbashing, painting practice and varied historical contexts.
Use this cluster to quickly add human activity to docks, quays and freight scenes, or as a starting point for customizing era-specific crews.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
