Compact Dock Workers Vignette — HO 1:87
This is a ready-to-print dock workers vignette supplied as a single 1:87 (HO) master STL. The model depicts a small connected cluster of adult dock workers in standing, leaning and stooping poses with attached ambiguous cargo (crates and boxes). Sculpting prioritises readable silhouette and clothing masses—caps, coats and postures—so the group reads well on diorama and model railway layouts without requiring multiple separate figures.
You receive one 1:87 master STL. If you need a different scale, rescale this file in your slicer or modelling tool (example conversions: ~121% for 1:72, ~54% for 1:160). The group is delivered without a scenic base plate; glue to a thin scenic plate or integrate directly into your quay scenery.
Printing tips: orient the model to minimise supports on large clothing planes. Resin printing at 50–60 micron captures cloth shaping nicely; FDM at 0.08–0.18 mm layers gives good silhouette clarity. Use tree supports for cleaner breakaways. If you want individual figures, separate them in a modeller and rework contact points as needed.
Provenance: the mesh comes from a legacy MeshRef export and the Stage 1 metadata is an auto-stub. The export preserves the visual cluster but does not list an exact pose count or a precise prop inventory. The model is unbranded and era-neutral. This listing is flagged for manual review before publishing. Ideal uses: dioramas, HO model railroad piers, goods yards, figure painting practice and compact scenic displays.
Available railroad scales: Z (1:220), N (1:160), HO (1:87.1), S (1:64), O (1:48)
