    Yes ajkochev, nicely done my friend. Great design work. Although I think the challenge will be to remove them from the supports. But a little patience will do the trick.

    On a sidenote, my personal policy is I DO NOT take other’s designs and sell them. I have my own designs that I would not want anyone selling. The prints you see are for my and Scott’s personal use.

    By the way, just for the record, these were printed on a ELEGOO MARS 3 PRO. Print Time was approximately 3 hours and 10 minutes.

    Looks good, I might start posting these on Cults for HO and Z as well as N. I use tweezes to gently break the supports to remove the figure. As long as they are not being sold and only you two use them, I'm okay with that. I try and keep my price low to help the community and keep my printer stocked and working for the test prints.

    YES SIR, I fully agree with the above statement. I can appreciate that as I have many designs of my own. I certainly do not want anybody using them for their own financial gain. It takes quite a few hours to get a good design in done.

    Good advice on using tweezers to bring the supports off. I guess that would work rather well. I’ve got several different sets that will certainly come in to play here.

    Oh wow, I was looking for this exactly but for both N and HO, which should be easy to scale up. I think I will be paying for my first STL files very shortly!

    Edit: I just found the HO scale version on your storefront, nice! :)

    I have been looking for suitable railway type figures for a while, and thought these might fit the bill. Trouble is, I'm in On30.
    I picked up the HO guys, scaled them up, and they turned out beautifully!

    Here's one, not yet painted, but already making my Shay look better.

    These are great for steam, excellent work.
    Now we could really use some for Diesel crews from the 80's if possible

    I'm interested in making these. Could you post a few photos of them so I can see the look and poses? I could do women as well.
