Small figures (1:148 Scale) not printing properly

Ender 3 v3 KE
Cura
PLA

Hello all, this is my first post here and only recently started out in 3D printing at the age of 65

One of my hobbies is N Gauge model railways and I thought I’d save some money by printing some parts and accessories. I found quite a lot of various scale figures and vehicles on the Internet, sliced them in Cura and began to print. Most of the vehicles turned out very well with maybe some minimal stringing but the small figures (little people) just won’t print. The printing process begins well with feet and legs being printed…and suddenly it starts stringing, knocking over the figures and leaving a mess on the base plate.

I’ve looked at various YouTube videos for help or ideas and changed some of the sttings for the printer, namely the printing speed (reduced) and increased the heating temperature for the initial layers. I’ve also tried printing the N Gauge figures on a small Tina2 Basic printer but the same thing happens.

Any suggestions or ideas?

Thanks
