Stop Building Ghost Towns: How to Finally Bring Your Dioramas to Life

Stop Building Ghost Towns: How to Finally Bring Your Dioramas to Life

The "Ghost Town" Problem If you’ve been building dioramas, customizing diecast scenes, or setting up model railroads for any length of time, you know the struggle. You spend hours weathering a brick wall, days 3D printing the perfect street lamps, and weeks painting a fleet of custom cars.

The scene looks incredible. The lighting is perfect. But something is missing.

It looks like a ghost town.

For years, the 3D printing and miniature market has been flooded with space marines, fantasy wizards, and WWII soldiers. But where is the guy waiting for the bus? Where is the couple walking their dog? Where are the regular people that make a city feel real?

Enter: Regular People STL Miniature Collection Vol. 3 If you are tired of populating your modern city street with goblins or soldiers because that’s all you could find, you need to check out the Regular People STL Miniature Collection Vol. 3 by Double G Diecast on Kickstarter.

Following the massive success of Volumes 1 and 2, Double G is back with an all-new expansion of everyday citizens designed to breathe narrative and life into your static scenes.

Why This Collection is a Must-Back

1. Actual Realism These aren’t generic, stiff mannequins. These figures are captured in natural, candid poses. We’re talking about people checking their phones, carrying groceries, chatting on corners, and going about their daily lives. They turn a "display" into a "story."

2. Built for Builders (By a Builder) Greg (Double G Diecast) isn't just a modeler; he's a diorama veteran. He knows that we hate assembling tiny, fiddly parts. That’s why these models are designed as single, solid pieces. No glue required for assembly—just print, prime, and paint.

3. Totally Scalable While the files are optimized for the popular 1:64 (S-Scale) used by Hot Wheels and Matchbox collectors, they are high-resolution STL files. This means you can easily scale them up for O-Scale (1:48), down for HO-Scale (1:87), or even up to 1:35 for military dioramas without losing detail.

4. Instant Gratification One of the best perks of this campaign? Speed. Digital files are typically delivered within days of the campaign ending. No waiting months for shipping containers to cross the ocean. You back the project, you get the files, you start printing.

What’s New in Volume 3? Volume 3 promises to expand the universe even further. Whether you are looking to fill a busy intersection, a quiet park, or a bustling shop floor, this new set adds the variety needed to ensure your crowd doesn't look like an army of clones.

Join the Campaign The campaign is live right now, and early backers can snag the entire collection for a steal compared to individual retail prices.

Don’t let your masterpiece look abandoned. Give your streets the population they deserve.
