This HO-scale dockworkers vignette is supplied as a single welded STL at Miniature Reality’s locked 1:87 (HO) master scale. The compact cluster shows adult workers in standing, reaching and leaning poses arranged around simplified crate blocks and a pallet-like volume — ideal for narrow pier edges, short dock returns, and freight platform corners on model railroad layouts or small diorama scenes. The welded single-file STL is ready to print and place: glue it to a short scenic base or a slice of pier decking for instant integration.
We supply one 1:87 master STL only. To print at other scales, scale uniformly in your slicer (example conversions: to 1:76 ×1.145, to 1:160 ×0.55). The mesh originates from a legacy automated capture pipeline and contains simplified surface detail to preserve silhouette at HO viewing distances; fine facial detail is generalized. If you need the figures split into individual STLs, cleaned for high-detail printing, or retopologized for production, Miniature Reality offers paid editing services.
Printing guidance: orient to minimize support on visible limbs, add supports under overhangs, and run mesh repairs for non-manifold geometry. For painting, use broad blocking and washes to suggest clothing folds; paint crates in contrasting tones to separate them visually from the figures. Manual review is recommended for professional production or if you require splitting and cleanup.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
