The only one you can order without them finding out

Everyone else who makes figures of real people needs you in a scanning studio. You book a slot, you travel, you stand still. That works — unless the figure is meant to be a surprise.

Two or three good photographs are enough. You approve a 3D preview before anything is printed, and three rounds of changes are included at no cost — the studios charge €30 just for the preview.

Made from your photo

A gift that says more than a likeness

Send a photo of the person, the couple or the pet. I sculpt the figure by hand, you approve the model, then it gets printed and painted. No studio appointment, and nobody has to know it exists until you hand it over.

Included3D preview You see renders before printing. Other studios charge 30 EUR for this.
Included3 revisions Change the pose, the outfit, the likeness. While it is still a file.

Modelling

The figure is sculpted digitally from your photos.

Roughly two weeks

Approve the model

You see renders before anything is printed and can ask for changes three times.

Other studios charge 30 EUR for this

Printing

High-detail resin, multicolor PLA, or a digital file if you print it yourself.

You chose this at the start

Painted and shipped

Hand-painted, checked, double-boxed and sent with tracking.

The only part I cannot do for you

Four finishes

Four finishes, one sculpture

Every statue is primed and painted by hand. The finish is worked into the carved detail, which is why deep black costs less than the three metallics.

Desk Buddies

Colour that is printed in, not painted on

KODA is made with multicolour FDM printing: several filaments layered during the print, so the colour is structural rather than decorative. It cannot chip, fade or peel — which matters for an object that gets picked up.

Before you order

When will my order arrive?

Statues and shelf figures ordered today arrive by shortly. Custom figures made from a photo take longer, because the model is sculpted and approved before anything is printed.

Are the figures really painted by hand?

Yes. After printing, each piece is washed, cured, primed and painted individually. Two figures of the same sculpt differ slightly, and that is the point.

Can I return a custom figure?

Custom-made items are excluded from the statutory right of withdrawal, because they cannot be resold. That is why you approve the 3D model before printing and get three rounds of changes for free.

What are they made of?

Statues are printed in SLA resin for fine detail. Desk figures are printed in multicolor PLA, which is sturdier and cheaper.

Do you ship outside Germany?

Germany today. EU, UK and USA are being switched on shortly, and the shipping rates are already in place.
