This connected ensemble of dock workers is a ready-to-print HO 1:87 master STL designed to supply quick population for quays, piers and industrial layouts. The group includes upright standing figures, mid-stride walkers and leaning/bracing poses that imply interaction with unseen quay elements such as railings or stacked cargo. Multiple heads carry brimmed hat silhouettes; clothing is modeled as short work jackets and straight-cut trousers with simplified hands and modest surface relief for robust printing.
What is included
- One HO 1:87 master STL file (authoritative master). The mesh is a single connected model that retains small contact bridges between bases and some adjoining limbs to increase print stability and handling.
Printing hints
- Resin: orient broad bases to the build plate and place supports across base junctions rather than across hat brims. The contact bridges act as stabilizers but inspect for unsupported spans between limbs.
- FDM: consider splitting the mesh into smaller groups or individual figures to reduce long bridging and overhangs. Use brims or rafts for bed adhesion.
Editing
- Separate with Blender or Meshmixer; re-close holes and recompute normals after editing.
Recommended uses: HO model railroading layouts, dockside dioramas, and quick installable population for display photography. Note: this item originates from a legacy MeshRef export — check the STL for contact bridges and base thickness before large prints.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
