I will cast and ship custom resin figurines and miniatures from your design

I will cast and ship custom resin figurines and miniatures from your design, hand-finished and packed safely so your 3D model arrives as a real, holdable object.

What you get

You send a design; I send back a finished, physical resin piece in the mail. Concretely, you receive:

• Cast resin figurine(s) or miniature(s) produced from your supplied 3D model (STL, OBJ, or similar) or from a master you provide for mold-making.
• Hand-cleaned castings with sprues removed, vents trimmed, mold lines scraped or sanded, and surface bubbles addressed as far as the casting process honestly allows.
• Your choice of scale and material tier, from tabletop-scale wargaming miniatures (28mm–75mm) up to display figurines and busts, in standard grey/beige casting resin or tougher impact-modified resin on request.
• Optional priming and/or painting when you select a tier that includes it: a clean primer coat for paint-ready minis, or a full finished paint job for display pieces.
• A short photo set of your actual cast before shipping (not stock images), so you can confirm the result matches expectations.
• Protective packaging: each piece bagged, padded, and boxed to survive transit, with fragile thin parts (spears, antennae, banners) supported or shipped detached where that protects them better.
• Tracked shipping to your address with a tracking number once the parcel is handed to the carrier.

This is a made-to-order physical product. The deliverable is the object in your hands, not a file, a print service credit, or a design.

Plans

Tier	What's included
Basic	A single small casting (up to ~50mm) from your ready-to-cast model. One color of bare resin, sprues removed and basic cleanup, photo confirmation, padded shipping. Ideal for a quick proof piece or one mini.
Standard	Up to a small batch of identical castings or one larger piece (up to ~120mm). Thorough cleanup, mold-line work, light gap-filling, primed and paint-ready if requested, photo set, reinforced packaging, tracked shipping.
Premium	Larger or multi-part pieces, busts, or a bigger batch. Master prep / silicone mold creation for repeatable runs, careful seam work, optional full paint and basing, display-ready finish, premium protective packing, and tracked shipping with extra insurance handling.

Exact piece count, scale limits, and turnaround for your job are confirmed in writing before any casting begins. No tier includes design or sculpting work unless separately agreed.

How it works

1. Share your design and goal. Send your 3D model (STL/OBJ/STEP) or describe the master you'll provide, plus the scale, quantity, material preference, and finish you want. Reference images help.
2. Feasibility check and quote. I review wall thickness, undercuts, thin or fragile features, and whether the part needs splitting for a clean mold. I'll flag anything that won't cast reliably and suggest fixes before we commit.
3. Master and mold prep. For repeat runs I prepare a master and pour a silicone mold; for one-offs I cast directly from a printed or supplied master. This step is where most of the quality is decided.
4. Casting. I pour and pressure/degas the resin to minimize bubbles, then demold once fully cured.
5. Cleanup and finishing. Sprues and vents are removed, mold lines cleaned, and the chosen finish (bare, primed, or painted) applied.
6. Photo confirmation. You get real photos of your cast. Minor adjustments within the agreed scope can be handled here.
7. Pack and ship. The piece is bagged, padded, boxed, and sent with tracking. You get the tracking number to follow it to your door.

Why choose this

Turning a digital model into a satisfying physical object is its own craft, separate from designing or 3D printing it. A raw print has layer lines and a brittle feel; a good resin cast has crisp detail, a solid weight, and a uniform surface that takes paint beautifully. I focus on that last, decisive stretch: getting your model out of the screen and into a piece you'd be proud to put on a shelf or a gaming table.

I'm honest about what resin casting can and can't do. Some geometry needs to be split, thickened, or vented to cast cleanly, and I'll tell you that up front rather than shipping a flawed part and hoping you don't notice. The pre-ship photos exist for exactly that reason: no surprises when the box arrives. I also pack like the parcel will be thrown, because sometimes it is, and a beautiful cast snapped in transit helps no one.

Who it's for / use cases

• Tabletop and wargaming players who want extra copies of a custom mini, a proxy unit, or a converted character cast in durable resin.
• 3D artists and sculptors who design digitally but don't have casting equipment and want a real, paintable object made from their work.
• Indie game and crowdfunding creators needing sample castings, prototypes, or small runs of a model before committing to mass production.
• Collectors and hobbyists wanting a display figurine, bust, or diorama element produced from a model they bought or made.
• Gift-givers turning a personal 3D design — a character, mascot, or commemorative piece — into a physical keepsake.
• Designers testing a sculpt who want to hold the real thing and check proportions, detail recovery, and paint behavior before finalizing.

FAQ

Q: What files or materials do I need to provide? A ready-to-cast 3D model (STL, OBJ, or STEP) works best. If you already have a physical master, you can mail that instead and I'll build the mold from it. If your model needs adjustments to cast well, I'll explain what's required before starting.

Q: Can you sculpt or design the figure for me? No — this service is casting and finishing an existing design, not creating one from scratch. If your model needs minor casting-prep tweaks (venting, splitting, thickening), that can be discussed, but full sculpting or modeling is out of scope.

Q: How accurate is the cast compared to my model? Resin captures fine detail very well, often better than the original print's layer lines. That said, extremely thin or deep-undercut features may need to be reinforced or split. I review your model first and tell you honestly where detail might soften.

Q: Can you make multiple identical copies? Yes. For repeatable runs I create a silicone mold from a master, which lets me cast a consistent batch. Larger quantities are best handled in the Standard or Premium tier so the mold and workflow are set up properly.

Q: Will the pieces come painted? Only if you choose a tier or add-on that includes painting. Otherwise you receive bare or primed resin, which is ideal if you want to paint them yourself. Primed pieces arrive ready for your first color coat.

Q: How are fragile parts shipped so they don't break? Each piece is bagged and padded, and very thin elements (spears, antennae, banners, fingers) may be shipped detached or with added support so they survive the journey. I'd rather you glue one small part on arrival than open a broken figure.

Q: How long does it take? Turnaround depends on piece size, quantity, whether a new mold is needed, and the finish you choose. I'll give you a realistic timeline in writing after reviewing your model, and shipping time on top depends on your location and the carrier.

Q: What about copyright and licensed designs? You must have the right to reproduce the design you send. I cast your own original models or models you're licensed to produce. I can't make copies of others' intellectual property without permission.
