Coal miners join multi-scale figure range

Modelu has added a collection of coal miners to its figure range. The 3D-printed resin figures originate from laser scans of real actors in costume for true-to-scale details.

Described as coal miners, but suitable for other types of mining, the figures are available in 1:148, 1:87, 1:76, 1:43 and 1:48 scales. Pictured is a set of five unpainted miners in 1:76 scale, with a further two figures not shown also available. The resin takes acrylic and enamel paints readily without a need for primer. The poses, as with other figures in its range are natural, including one miner leaning and another relaxing with his back to a wall, eating a small sandwich.

A variety of clothing and worn accessories can be seen, including lamped helmets. Carving the small lamp away would make the figures appropriate for many forms of industry.
