FAQ – Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What scale is this figure and what size is it?

This seated figure is G-Scale 1:22.5 (the same scale used by LGB and Bachmann garden railways) and is approximately 60mm tall when standing. The pose is seated, so it will appear smaller in height when placed in a vehicle or on a bench.

Is the figure already painted?

No, the figure is supplied unpainted. It is intended for hobbyists and modellers who enjoy painting and finishing their own figures to match their layout or diorama.

How are these figures created?

The figures are 3D scanned from real people to capture realistic looks and natural poses. They are then printed in high detail resin here in the UK, cleaned and cured by hand, and prepared for you to finish and paint.

What scenes or layouts is this figure suitable for?

This seated figure is suitable for a wide range of G-scale scenes, such as garden railway coaches, station benches, platform seating, or lineside settings. Anywhere you need a realistically posed seated person in 1:22.5 scale, this figure will fit in nicely.

How is the item packaged and shipped?

The figure is dispatched by Royal Mail 2nd Class. Our packaging is eco-friendly: the outer packaging is made in part from recycled materials and is fully recyclable, and the interior packing materials are acid-free and made from 99% recycled pulp fibres.

Is this product safe for children?

No, these items are not toys and are not suitable for minors. The figures contain small parts and can be a choking hazard. They are designed for adult hobbyists and collectors.

What should I do before painting the figure?

Although all items are cleaned and cured by hand, we recommend a quick visual check and minor finishing if needed. This might include gently removing any tiny remnants from the printing process and ensuring the surface is clean and dry before applying primer.

Which primers work well on this resin figure?

The model can be primed with Halfords grey primer or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer. Both give a good base for further painting and help paint adhere well to the high detail resin surface.

Do I need to wash the figure before priming?

The figures are already cleaned and cured by hand, so further washing is usually not necessary. If you prefer, you can lightly wipe the figure with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any dust before priming.

What type of paints can I use after priming?

Once primed with a suitable model primer such as Halfords grey or Tamiya Fine Surface Primer, you can use your preferred model paints. Many modellers use standard hobby acrylics or enamels over a properly primed surface.

Do I need to assemble any parts on this figure?

This product is a single seated figure and does not require assembly. At most, you may wish to do some very minor finishing work, such as gently smoothing any small marks from the printing process, before priming and painting.

Any tips for painting fine details on the figure?

Because the figure is 3D scanned from real people and printed in high detail resin, it takes fine brushwork well. Use a good quality fine-tipped brush, thin your paints slightly for smoother coats, and build up details in layers, starting with base colours and then adding shading and highlights.

The figure arrived with a slight surface mark. What should I do?

Minor surface marks can usually be tidied up with gentle finishing before painting. Use a fine sanding stick or very fine abrasive pad and work carefully to avoid removing detail. Once smoothed, dust off the figure and apply your primer as normal.

What if my figure arrives broken in the post?

If the piece is damaged during postage, please take clear photos of the damage and the packaging and contact us. While we cannot be responsible for breakages after safe delivery, we will always see what we can do to help put things right if the item is broken in transit.

The resin feels delicate. Is that normal?

Yes, resin figures can be quite delicate, especially around thinner parts. This allows for finer detail but means you should handle the figure carefully, avoid dropping it, and take care when transporting or storing it.

Can I repair a small break myself?

Small breaks in resin can often be repaired with a suitable model glue designed for resin or superglue. Work slowly, test-fit the parts first, and use only a small amount of adhesive. Allow the joint to fully cure before priming or painting.

How should I store the figure before and after painting?

Store the figure in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keeping it in its protective packaging or a padded hobby box will help prevent accidental damage, both before and after painting.

Can this figure be used outdoors on a garden railway?

The figure is G-scale and well suited in size for garden railways such as LGB and Bachmann. However, as with any resin model, long-term outdoor use will depend on how it is painted, sealed, and protected from the elements. Many modellers use weather-resistant paints and clear coats if the figure will be left outside.

Is this figure sold under license?

Yes, this figure is sold under commercial license from Design Scan Print 3D. This ensures that the original 3D scanned designs are used legitimately and that you receive an authentic, high-quality product.
