What you receive
This purchase delivers one HO 1:87 master STL of a compact dockside crew: stevedores and harbour labourers modelled in active poses for quayside and freight-transfer scenes. The group sculpt emphasises readable posture and silhouette—lifters, carriers and observers—so it reads well on busy HO layouts and dioramas. Small props such as crates, coils of rope and basic tools are present in a simplified form and may be merged into adjacent geometry in the legacy export.
Scale and conversion
Miniature Reality provides a single master STL at HO 1:87. To print at another scale, scale the STL in your slicer by targetDenominator/sourceDenominator (examples: to 1:48 scale factor ≈ 1.8125, to 1:160 factor ≈ 0.54375). Verify printed heights against a trusted figure reference before batch printing.
Printing guidance
Resin (SLA/DLP) printing is recommended for best pose fidelity and prop retention. Use 25–50 µm layers; orient to minimise supports on faces and hands and place supports on lower limbs and torso rear. FDM can be used at larger sizes but may lose fine prop detail. The master may be a clustered mesh; separate figures if you want individual bases or more complex paintwork.
Use cases and finish
Ideal for HO model railways, harbour dioramas, industrial vignettes and figure painting. Weather boots and trousers with washes and dry-brushing to sell the working-class aesthetic. If you need confirmation of figure count or discrete prop geometry, contact Miniature Reality for manual verification—this asset was exported from a legacy MeshRef pipeline and has lower identity/dimension confidence.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
