Subject overview
This piece represents a late 19th century Victorian/Edwardian woman posed holding an open parasol above her shoulder. The sculpt emphasizes period clothing details: a shaped bodice with a narrow waist, pronounced puffed sleeves that taper to fitted lower sleeves, a structured high collar, a small decorative hat with plume, and a long skirt with asymmetric drape over the left hip. The parasol shows clear internal ribs and a hooked handle secured to the sitter's right hand; fingers and glove cuff details are visible. Surface ornamentation includes fabric creases across the skirt and faint embroidered patterning suggested in the cloth.
What you receive
- One 1:87 (HO) master STL: a single-file master scaled and positioned for HO layouts. This master is intended as the definitive scaling reference for hobby printing; customers can scale from 1:87 to their chosen ratio using the included guidance notes. The master preserves small costume details (hat plume, glove seams, parasol ribs) while maintaining practical wall thickness where visible.
Design and pose notes
The figure holds the parasol at roughly shoulder height with a relaxed contrapposto stance: weight on the left leg, right hip slightly forward. The parasol canopy flares outward creating the longest horizontal dimension of the subject; ribs are modeled as discrete thin elements that may require attention for very small print scales. The gown's drape and fold lines are intentionally emphasized to read cleanly when printed at HO and larger scales. The hat, plume and glove cuff present delicate features; they are retained at the master scale but may need reinforcement or slight thickening for micro-scale prints.
Printability and recommended preparation
This master has been prepared with hobby printing in mind. For hobbyist 3D printers: consider orienting the figure upright with a small flat contact on the base for adhesion, or split the mesh at the waist/back for multi-part printing if your printer volume is limited. Fine features such as parasol ribs, hat plume, and wrist loops may benefit from slightly increased shell or line width settings and careful support placement. If you plan to print at scales smaller than HO (for example N scale), inspect thin features and consider editing or thickening them before sending to slicer.
Use cases
This figure is tailored for late 19th century street scenes, museum dioramas, HO scale rail layouts, period storefront vignettes, and historical display collections. The relaxed umbrella pose adds narrative interest — she reads well as a passerby, as part of a promenade scene, or as a focal figure near a carriage or storefront.
Scaling guidance
The included 1:87 master is the single authoritative master provided with this listing. If you need other hobby scales, scale proportionally from the 1:87 master: for 1:72, scale by 87/72; for 1:48, scale by 87/48, etc. When scaling down, recheck thin features (parasol ribs, glove loops, hat plume) and strengthen them as needed.
Copyright and provenance
This is a generic historical figure sculpt intended for hobby and display use. No branded or copyrighted character is represented.
Notes for modders
The mesh retains clear costume separations and an easily editable waist/hip seam for artists who wish to re-pose or split the model into printable subassemblies. The master balances readable surface detail with practical wall thickness for hobby-scale printing.
