Overview
"River Trip A" is a compact HO (1:87) riverbank vignette modeled and supplied as a single-piece Miniature Reality master STL at 1:87 (HO). The asset emphasizes three visible components: a gently contoured, mostly horizontal water plane; an irregular shoreline with small indentations and flattened terraces; and a modest embankment composed of low-relief terraces and shallow ledges intended to read at HO without producing fragile filigree.
What you receive
- One master STL scaled to 1:87 (HO). This is the only STL file supplied. Miniature Reality provides one HO master; print at other scales by uniformly scaling the file in your slicer.
- Embedded printing notes recommending orientation and support strategy for resin and filament.
Features and use
The water plane is modeled as a distinct recessed area so hobbyists can pour gloss coat or epoxy for a convincing wet effect. The shoreline silhouette gives realistic shadow and planting points for grasses and small foliage. The model is ideal for HO model railroad layouts, small dioramas, tabletop gaming terrain and display pieces.
Printing guidance
- Master scale: 1:87 (HO). To convert to other scales, uniformly scale the file in your slicer (e.g., to 1:160 multiply by 0.544). We do not provide multiple-scale STLs.
- Orientation and supports: orient with the water plane horizontal when possible. Resin prints require few supports; FDM prints benefit from a brim or targeted supports under terraces.
- Finishing: paint the bank first and use a gloss product or thin resin in the water plane for the best visual result.
