model train figures 1/87 scale (H0)

These are miniature figures in scale H0 (1:87), a common scale for model trains. The figures have a hight of approximately 2cm.

This is a test if figures in such a scale can be printed in an eye pleasing way.

How I Designed This

I modified the great movable blender model from TiZeta (thank you very much for your awesome work: https://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/66415) to have a helmet and doing the poses I wanted to have. After that I added a baseplate for better stand of the figures.

This was a first test to print minifigures in H0-Scale, because I often read online that it would be impossible to print okay-looking figures for model trains. In my opinion the differences between bought and printed figures is not noticabele at around half a metre distance.
