Why Finding Regular People is Impossibly Hard

Here's the frustrating reality of diorama building: you can find a thousand variations of space marines, orcs, and medieval knights. But a person waiting at a bus stop? A jogger with a dog? Someone checking their phone? Good luck.

The miniature industry obsesses over warriors, monsters, and heroes. Nobody makes the ordinary people that actually populate real environments. You're building a modern street scene and need pedestrians? Tough. Creating an airport diorama requiring travelers? Search endlessly.

Greg Gonzalez faced this exact problem for 20 years. Working with dioramas, he always found it difficult to find the correct people for his builds. So he decided to create his own.

Initially starting with casting molds, he jumped at 3D printing when the technology emerged. He improved and expanded his collection, eventually selling through Etsy (doublegdiecast) and his own store at DoubleGdiecast.com.

The 3D Models Regular people STL Miniature represents Volume 2 of his Every Day Street people collection developed for dioramas, projects, and gaming needs.

This is problem-solving born from actual frustration, not market research guessing what builders might want.

110+ Models of People Doing Normal Things

Everyday Scenes Finally Available

Over 110 highly detailed STL models for your diorama, gaming, or photography needs. Plus an extra 20 or more bonus models depending on campaign funding.

These aren't generic standing figures. They're people engaged in activities. Walking. Sitting. Talking. Working. The mundane human behavior that brings scenes to life.

You're building a city street? You need people crossing roads, waiting at corners, window shopping. Creating a park scene? Joggers, dog walkers, bench sitters. Airport terminal? Travelers with luggage, people checking phones.

54mm Base Scale, Infinitely Rescalable

Produced at 54mm (1/35 scale) but easily rescalable to any size you need. Building in 1/48? Scale down. Working in larger 1/24? Scale up. The STL format gives you complete control.

These miniatures integrate perfectly with miniature vehicles, buildings, and furniture. They're designed to match existing scale modeling ecosystems.

Single Solid Pieces That Actually Print

No Assembly Nightmare

Each figure is a single, solid piece. No movable parts. No tiny separate hands to lose. No fragile joints that break during painting.

This guarantees integrity and durability while facilitating handling, painting, and fixing to scenarios. The workflow is beautifully simple: unbox, position, and admire.

Test Printed for Success

Greg test prints every figure to ensure they print properly. He posts progress pictures showing actual printed results, not just renders that look great on screen but fail on build plates.

How many STL purchases have you made where files simply wouldn't print correctly? Supports failing. Details not resolving. Thin sections breaking.

Greg knows because he's the end user. He builds dioramas with these exact models. If they don't print cleanly, they don't make the collection.

Variety That Matches Real Life

Many times you can't find the specific model you need. Greg creates variety hoping you can use it.

Different ages. Different body types. Different activities. Different clothing styles. The diversity that actually exists in public spaces instead of homogeneous crowds showing only military-age males.

Elderly people. Kids. People in business attire. Casual clothing. Work uniforms. Seated poses. Standing poses. Action poses. The range you need to populate realistic scenes.

You're welcome to comment on types of figures you'd like added. Greg does his best to include suggestions. This is collaborative development between creator and backers.

Fast Digital Delivery and Add-Ons

Files Within Two Days

Models deliver within two days of project end via Google Drive and Dropbox. No manufacturing delays. No shipping logistics. Just immediate file access.

The digital nature means unlimited reprints. Need five copies of the same pedestrian? Print five. Broke one during painting? Print a replacement. Want to test different scales? Print samples at various sizes.

Urban Street Scene Add-Ons

Greg included add-ons for anyone interested in Urban Street scenes. Additional themed collections complementing the base Regular People set for builders focusing on modern city environments.

Built By a Builder For Builders

Greg Gonzalez has been a diorama builder since 2008. He's created two Kickstarter projects and backed 79 others. He knows the community. He understands the workflow.

His DoubleGdiecast store already sells models including collaborations with licensed creators. This isn't his first rodeo with 3D miniatures or customer delivery.

Volume 1 of Regular People was successfully delivered. Volume 2 builds on that foundation with expanded variety and improved quality based on feedback.

This is the creator profile you want: experienced practitioner, proven delivery, active community member, and actual user of his own products.

The Missing Link in Your Collection

You probably have amazing vehicles. Incredible buildings. Detailed terrain. But when you add figures, they're all soldiers, adventurers, or creatures. Your modern scenes feel empty because you can't populate them with normal people.

The 3D Models Regular people STL Miniature collection fills that gap completely. Suddenly your street scenes have pedestrians. Your airport has travelers. Your park has visitors.

The transformation is dramatic. Scenes go from "nice model" to "believable environment" the moment you add appropriate human presence.

How 3D Models Regular People STL Miniature on Kickstarter Compares to Alternatives

Commercial STL libraries ($10-$50 per model) focus on fantasy, sci-fi, and military with minimal modern civilian selection. Pre-printed miniatures ($5-$20 each) limit customization and require expensive purchases for variety. Generic figure sets ($30-$100) offer low detail and limited pose variety in fixed scales. Scratch-building requires advanced sculpting skills and enormous time investment. The 3D Models Regular people STL Miniature on Kickstarter provides 110+ highly detailed everyday people in rescalable 54mm STL format from experienced diorama builder who understands real needs, delivers files within two days, and includes bonus models based on community input.
