I like miniatures and dioramas and almost tried it all. Tabletop (metal), then plastic like ships, 1/72, railroad, paper, ending up in 1:35 scale. MiniArt has some nice stuff like vehicles and civilians. Most are still set in WWII though but there's are some modern stuff.
These are different kits, around 2023. On left Paint Workers (2 men, one in apron), then Milkmen. On right Calvados Sellers (2 men, one in jacket and apron and a cart). There is a related set Butchers, but no bibs. Size is about 5cm, plastic is quite soft, I don't have these but others. Bibs have a low back. Sculpted by Sergey Alkhno. Unpainted built figures on themodellingnews (7/2023).
These are official pics, cover illustrations and pro-painted miniatures by Konstantin Pinaev. I haven't found a built painter. Bottom left from a YouTube clip. The straps are poor and hard to notice. And one is limited to the poses, especially arms, unless mixing with different sets. Painting, especially of the fabrics' folds needs experience and different shades. Accessories and caps can be left out but would result in strange poses and flat heads.
There are no notable kids and teens yet. I hope for some. There are some (painted) H0 figures. I searched for The Waltons miniatures and found some, but custom built and not for sale. I found this 2025 diorama by Matthias and Silvia Teufert on the German Waltons site (I think only John and Zeb in bibs and bibs on clothes line)
