Have you ever spent weeks, maybe even months, meticulously crafting a diorama or painting the perfect tabletop terrain, only to realize something is missing? You’ve got the weathered brickwork, the perfect lighting, and maybe even a fleet of stunning diecast cars, but the scene still feels... empty. It’s like a movie set before the actors arrive. It’s a "ghost town" problem that every hobbyist and collector has faced at some point.
The secret to breaking that silence isn't just adding "any" figure. It’s about adding soul. It’s about placing a person who looks like they actually belong in the world you’ve built. That’s exactly why we’re so incredibly hyped about our latest project: Volume 5 of the Everyday People STL Collection.
We aren't just talking about a handful of poses here. We are talking about a massive library of 300+ unique models designed to breathe life into your projects, whether you are building a hyper-realistic city street, a parking lot meet, or a detailed neighborhood scene. And the best part? We’ve expanded our horizons to cover 28mm, 32mm, and 54mm scales.
The Problem with the "Generic" Miniature
Let’s be real for a second. If you’ve been in the hobby for a while, you know the struggle of finding realistic "civilian" or "everyday" characters. A lot of miniature packs still miss the mark when you need regular people for a believable scene. They don't exactly help you populate a modern train station, a busy sidewalk, or a realistic 1950s car meet.
When you do find civilian figures, they often suffer from "stiff pose syndrome." They look like mannequins rather than living, breathing people. They lack the photorealistic details, the subtle fold in a jacket, the way someone leans while looking at their phone, or the specific posture of a delivery driver mid-shift.
This lack of variety is exactly the "pain point" we set out to solve with Volume 5. We wanted to give you an entire population in one single collection. With over 300 models, you’ll never have to see the same "generic guy A" twice in your scene.
300+ Models: A World of Possibilities
The sheer variety in this Kickstarter is staggering. We didn't want to just give you "people standing around." We wanted characters that tell a story. In this collection, you’ll find:
- The Commuters: People rushing to work, waiting for subway trains, or checking their watches.
- The Modern Crowd: Individuals scrolling on their phones, taking selfies, or wearing headphones, perfect for bringing a 2024 (or 2026!) vibe to your diorama.
- The Workers: Delivery drivers, street vendors, and people just doing their 9-to-5, adding that essential layer of urban grit.
- Diverse Poses: Sitting, leaning, walking, and interacting.
This isn't just a pack; it’s a toolkit for storytelling. When you place one of these figures next to your best sellers, you’re not just displaying a model; you’re capturing a moment in time.
Why Scale Matters: 28mm, 32mm, and 54mm
One of the most common questions we get at DoubleG Diecast is about scale. While we are legends in the 1:64 world (and don't worry, these work beautifully there too!), we know that the broader hobby world speaks in millimeters.
- 28mm: A great fit for compact street scenes, urban dioramas, and realistic civilian displays where space is tight but detail still matters.
- 32mm: A versatile sweet spot for modern boutique miniatures, display projects, and creators who want a little more room to show off clean paintwork and lifelike expression.
- 54mm: For the collectors and the 1:32 scale enthusiasts. At this size, the meticulous detail of our sculpts really shines. You can see the textures of the clothing, the expressions on the faces, and the tiny details that make a miniature a masterpiece.
By providing these files in multiple scales, we’re ensuring that no matter what your "home" scale is, you have access to the highest quality human figures available.
The STL Advantage: Print Your Way
We know many of you love our physical miniature figures, but there is something undeniably powerful about owning the 3D STL files.
Owning the files means infinite possibilities. Need ten copies of the same businessman for a crowded station? Print them. Need to scale a figure up or down slightly to fit a specific vehicle? You’ve got the power.
We’ve optimized these files to ensure they print beautifully on modern resin printers. We’ve obsessed over the supports and the geometry so that you get a clean, crisp print every single time. It’s about giving you the professional results of a high-end hobby shop right in your own home or studio.
Why Back the Kickstarter Now?
You might be thinking, "Greg, can't I just wait until these are on the site?" Well, you could... but you’d be missing out on a massive opportunity.
Kickstarter allows us to bundle these 300+ models at a price point that is frankly insane. If you were to buy 300 individual figures, the cost would be astronomical. By backing Regular People Vol. 5 now, you are essentially building a lifetime library of assets for a fraction of the retail cost.
Plus, backing the campaign directly supports our ability to keep creating these niche, high-quality models. We’re a small team driven by a passion for the hobby, and every backer helps us push the boundaries of what’s possible in miniature human figures.

Bringing Your World to Life
At the end of the day, our goal at DoubleG Diecast is to help you create something you’re proud of. Whether you’re a professional diorama artist, a weekend gamer, or a collector who just wants the coolest shelf display on the block, these figures are the key to that next level of authenticity.
Imagine a 54mm scene of a quiet park bench, or a 28mm bustling city intersection filled with everyday activity. The realism of these models: the way they stand, the clothes they wear, the items they carry: removes the "toy" feel and replaces it with a sense of stunning realism.
We’ve even included unique character types like our pinups and plus-size figures to ensure that your miniature world is as diverse and interesting as the real one.
