Custom Project

Do you have a specific idea for a figurine, a character to depict, an animal to capture, a role-playing game hero to bring to life, or a one-of-a-kind piece to add to your collection? The Custom Project page lets you submit your request so we can explore the creation of a resin figurine tailored to your universe, your scale, and your desired level of finish.

A custom project can involve a full-body figurine, a bust, a fantasy character, a historical warrior, a science-fiction creature, a mascot, a pet, a soft pin-up, a mythologically inspired piece, a role-playing game character, or a creation intended for a diorama. The goal is simple: to transform a visual concept into a collectible piece that is coherent, easily recognizable, expressive, and suitable for resin production.

Every request is carefully reviewed, because a custom figurine is more than just a print. We must understand the subject, the atmosphere, the pose, the scale, the technical constraints, the expected level of detail, the desired finish, and the piece’s intended use. This planning stage is essential to achieving a realistic, sturdy result that is compatible with custom, handcrafted production.

Create a custom figurine based on your idea

A custom project always starts with an idea. This idea can be very detailed or still quite vague. You might come in with a complete concept, reference images, a precise description of the character, a predefined pose, a chosen scale, and a clear vision for the final look. Or you might simply have a general desire: to create a figurine inspired by a specific universe, to depict an original character, to sculpt an animal, or to obtain a striking decorative piece for your display case.

The purpose of the workshop is to clarify this concept to determine what is feasible, what needs to be simplified, what can be visually enhanced, and what might pose problems during production. A good custom figurine must look good in photos, but it must also work as a three-dimensional object. The details must remain clear, the fine parts must be sturdy enough, the posture must be balanced, and the figurine as a whole must be easy to handle, prepare, paint, and display properly.

A piece designed for your collection

The custom project is designed for collectors who want a piece that’s different from a standard model. It could be a figurine inspired by a character you love, a role-playing game avatar, a combatant from a wargame universe, a pet, an extinct animal, an original character, or a specific scene. The goal is to create a piece that means something to you, with a visual presence that fits your collection.

This approach allows for greater control over the figurine’s intended feel: a heroic demeanor, a dark atmosphere, an elegant look, a martial stance, a melancholic expression, a fantasy aesthetic, a realistic style, an imposing silhouette, or a more intimate piece. Each choice influences the final perception of the figurine.

What kinds of custom projects are possible?

Requests can take many forms. Some involve a completely original figurine. Others involve adapting, transforming, or enhancing an existing design. The project can be simple or very ambitious, depending on the level of detail, size, pose, base, and desired finish.

Original Character Figurine

You can request a figurine inspired by a character you’ve imagined: a novel’s hero, a role-playing game character, a campaign avatar, an adventurer, a mage, a warrior, a hybrid creature, a demon, an angel, a mercenary, an explorer, a knight, a vampire, a witch, or a science fiction character. In this case, the important details include the figure’s silhouette, face, equipment, posture, clothing, weapons, accessories, and overall vibe.

Pet figurine

A custom project can also be used to create a piece inspired by a pet. Whether it’s a dog, cat, horse, reptile, bird, or a rarer animal, the success of the piece depends on the quality of the photos provided, the pose chosen, and the desired level of realism. This type of project requires special attention to the silhouette, proportions, expression, and texture of the fur or scales, as well as the animal’s unique demeanor.

Collectible bust or portrait

A bust is an excellent format for a custom project. It focuses attention on the face, expression, costume, armor, hair, textures, and character details. It allows you to create a striking piece without necessarily having to make a full-body figure. It’s a particularly interesting format for memorable characters, expressive creatures, stylized portraits, and pieces intended for display.

Diorama or narrative scene

A project can also take the form of a small scene. A figure on an intricately crafted base, a creature in a setting, a duel, a resting scene, a ruined setting, an altar, a battlefield base, or a fragment of an environment can all enhance the visual narrative. A diorama, however, requires more preparation, as you need to consider composition, balance, clarity, and the available space.

Sizes available for a custom project

Choosing the scale is one of the most important considerations. It determines the final size, the level of presence, the amount of visible detail, the production cost, the preparation time, and the space required to display the piece. The same figurine does not have the same effect at 1/9, 1/6, or 1/4 scale.

A smaller scale is often easier to incorporate into a dense collection. A larger scale provides greater visual impact, makes textures more distinct, and better highlights the sculpting or painting work. The choice therefore depends on your goal: a subtle piece, a focal figurine, an imposing bust, a highly detailed subject, or a creation intended to dominate a display case.

Scale 1/9

1/9 scale is a good choice for a well-balanced collectible figure. It offers a striking presence while remaining reasonably sized. This scale is suitable for full-body figures, compact busts, painting projects, and collections that already include several pieces.

Scale 1/6

The 1/6 scale offers greater visual impact. The proportions are easier to make out, accessories stand out more, and the figure becomes a striking centerpiece. This scale is ideal for detailed characters, armor, complex costumes, dynamic poses, and projects where the overall look is just as important as the details.

Scale 1/4

The 1/4 scale is designed for collectors who want a piece with a strong visual presence. This scale makes a strong visual impact on display, but it requires more space and careful consideration of weight, the base, stability, and the final appearance. It is particularly well-suited for busts, iconic figures, and pieces intended to become the centerpiece of a collection.

Unfinished or painted finish

A custom project can be ordered with an unpainted finish or a painted finish. The unpainted finish is intended for painters who wish to receive the piece to prepare and paint themselves. The painted finish is intended for collectors who want a finished figurine, ready for display, with coloring consistent with the subject.

Custom Project (Rough Draft)

The unpainted version is ideal if you enjoy painting your own miniatures or if you’d like to have them painted by an artist of your choice. It allows you to maintain control over the colors, contrasts, textural effects, and how the piece fits into an existing display or collection. It’s also the best option for experienced painters who want to fully exploit the sculpture’s three-dimensional form.

Custom Project (Painted Version)

The painted version results in a finished piece. The painting process can highlight volumes, textures, expressions, materials, shadows, lighting, and the overall atmosphere. Whether it’s a fantasy character, a dark creature, an expressive bust, or a striking decorative piece, painting plays an essential role in the final impression.

Information Required for a Specific Request

The clearer your request is, the more efficient the project review will be. You don’t need to have a perfect proposal, but certain details help prevent misunderstandings and allow us to assess feasibility more quickly. Ideally, you should provide a description of the subject, reference images, the desired scale, the desired finish, the visual style you’re looking for, and the figurine’s intended use.

Reference images can show the character, posture, face, clothing, colors, accessories, atmosphere, or important details. They aren’t just for copying an appearance—they help convey your intent. A reference can indicate a pose, a texture, a silhouette, or a level of realism.

Items to Include

To submit a complete request, please include the project name, the type of piece you’re looking for, the design inspiration, the intended scale, whether you prefer a raw or painted finish, the approximate dimensions, the essential elements, the optional elements, the ideal timeline, and your estimated budget. This information helps guide the discussion and allows us to propose a realistic solution.

If you want to depict an animal, include several clear photos: front view, profile, three-quarter view, a characteristic pose, and details of the fur or distinctive markings. If you want to create a character, include references for the costume, weapon, pose, face, and setting. If you’d like a diorama, also include references for the scenery, ground, ruins, vegetation, base, or environment.

How does a personalized project work?

A custom project is carried out in stages. This step-by-step process allows us to verify the consistency of the request before beginning production. It also protects the client from making a hasty decision and helps prevent errors in size, style, or finish.

1. Presenting Your Idea

Start by presenting your project. This first step helps us understand what you want to create: subject, style, scale, finish, atmosphere, level of detail, and the intended use of the piece. Even a simple idea can become a great project if it’s well defined.

2. Feasibility Study

The workshop then checks whether the request is technically feasible. Certain overly intricate details, certain fragile poses, certain thin accessories, or certain complex shapes may require adjustments. This step helps ensure the figurine’s sturdiness, clarity, and final quality.

3. Choosing the scale and finish

The choice of scale and finish directly affects the estimate. A larger scale requires more material, more preparation time, and sometimes more painting work. A painted finish requires a different approach than an unfinished version. These choices must therefore be confirmed before proceeding further.

4. Project Approval and Launch

Once the general outline has been approved, the project can be costed and then launched according to the agreed-upon terms. The launch is not based on a mere vague idea; it is grounded in a clear understanding of the expected outcome, technical limitations, and the options selected.

Why does a customized project require a tailored analysis?

A custom figurine is not a standard product. Two projects that seem similar may actually be very different. A simple bust, a full figurine with accessories, a winged creature, a realistic animal, a character with intricate armor, or a detailed diorama do not require the same amount of preparation time or the same level of work.

The cost depends on many factors: the complexity of the subject, the final size, the number of pieces, the level of detail, the amount of material, the preparation required, whether the finish is raw or painted, the presence of a base, the fragility of the elements, cleaning, assembly, painting, and protection of the piece. For this reason, a custom project must be evaluated before any reliable estimate can be provided.

A figurine designed to last and be displayed

A custom-made piece should be beautiful, but it must also stand the test of time. A figurine that is too fragile, too unbalanced, or overloaded with unnecessary details can become difficult to handle, paint, or display. The studio therefore prioritizes choices that enhance the piece’s clarity, sturdiness, and visual impact.

The base, posture, points of contact, accessories, and proportions are all carefully designed to create a figurine that is pleasing to the eye and believable as a collectible. The goal is not merely to produce an object, but to create a piece that works well in a display case, tells a story, and retains its impact over time.

For which subject areas should you request a customized project?

Custom projects can span a wide range of visual genres: fantasy, heroic fantasy, science fiction, horror, dark fantasy, mythology, manga, anime, steampunk, historical, wargames, role-playing games, fan art, soft pin-up, or animal-themed art. Each genre has its own distinctive elements: massive armor, elegant silhouettes, eerie creatures, detailed costumes, ritual weapons, heroic poses, dark settings, or more realistic expressions.

A successful project adheres to these guidelines while maintaining a clear identity. A dark fantasy figurine doesn’t have the same presence as a mythological bust. A soft pin-up isn’t designed like a historical warrior. A realistic animal isn’t treated the same way as a fantasy creature. This distinction helps create a piece that is more accurate, more easily understood, and visually more impactful.

Request a Custom Project

To submit a request, prepare a clear description of your project and gather your visual references. Specify the type of figurine you want, the scale, the finish, the style, the key elements, and your ultimate goal. The more specific your request, the more helpful the response will be.

A request for a custom project does not automatically mean production will begin. Its primary purpose is to initiate a dialogue, understand your idea, assess its feasibility, and determine the next steps. It’s the best way to turn your desire for a unique figurine into a concrete, coherent project that’s well-suited for resin.
