FAQs
What scale are these figures?
These figures are designed for HO scale, which is a 1:87 scale.
How many figures are included in the set?
The set includes a total of six hand-painted figures.
Can these figures be used outdoors?
These figures are intended for indoor model display and dioramas. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture and sunlight can damage the paint and material.
Are the figures already painted?
Yes, all figures in this set are hand-painted, providing a realistic and detailed appearance right out of the package.
What kind of adhesive should I use?
A small amount of standard model adhesive, such as PVA glue or a specialized plastic cement for small parts, is recommended for securing the figures to your diorama.
What kind of scenes are these figures best suited for?
These figures are ideal for creating summer scenes, particularly those involving water, such as beaches, lakes, rivers, or swimming areas.
Troubleshooting
Figures do not stand upright.
Ensure the surface they are placed on is flat. If necessary, trim a small amount from the base of the figure or apply a small dot of adhesive to help them stabilize.
Paint appears to be chipping.
Handle the figures with extreme care, especially at the extremities. Avoid touching painted surfaces. If minor chipping occurs, a tiny dab of appropriate model paint may be used for touch-ups, but this requires a steady hand.
Figure is difficult to glue.
Ensure both the figure's base and the model surface are clean and free from dust or debris. Use a small amount of appropriate model adhesive and hold the figure in place for a moment until the adhesive begins to set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These figures are ready to be placed directly into your model scene. Use a small amount of model adhesive (like PVA glue or specialized model glue) to secure them to surfaces such as grass, sand, or miniature terrain. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying adhesive.
Compatibility:
This set is designed for HO scale (1:87) model railways and dioramas. They are compatible with other HO scale model railway products, particularly those from NOCH, but will generally fit well with any HO scale collection.
Care:
Due to their delicate nature and hand-painted finish, avoid direct exposure to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials. If dust accumulates, gently wipe the figures with a soft, dry brush or a slightly damp cloth. Store them in a protective container when not in use to prevent damage.
