FAQ – Product FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What scale is this figure and how tall is it?

This figure is G-Scale 1:22.5 and is approximately 76 mm tall, making it suitable as a bystander or standing figure alongside brands such as LGB and Bachmann.

Is the figure supplied painted?

No, the figure is supplied unpainted. It is intended for hobbyists who enjoy priming, painting and detailing their own figures.

What material is the figure made from?

The figure is printed in the UK using high detail resin. This allows the realistic 3D-scanned pose and features to be reproduced very crisply.

How are these figures created?

The figures are 3D scanned from real people to achieve realistic proportions, clothing folds and natural standing poses, which are then printed in high detail resin.

How is the item packaged and shipped?

The figure is dispatched by Royal Mail 2nd Class in eco-friendly packaging. The outer packing is partly made from recycled materials and is fully recyclable, while the inner packing is acid free and made from 99% recycled pulp fibres.

Are these figures suitable for children?

No, these items are not toys and are not suitable for minors. They contain small parts and can pose a choking hazard, so they are intended for adult hobbyists and collectors.

What should I do when the figure arrives?

When your figure arrives, carefully inspect it, then test-fit it on your layout or diorama. Because it has already been cleaned and cured by hand, you will usually only need minor finishing before priming and painting.

Does the figure need any cleaning before painting?

All items are cleaned and cured by hand before dispatch, so in most cases they are ready for priming. You may wish to gently rinse in lukewarm water and let it dry fully if you prefer, but heavy cleaning is generally not required.

Will I need to do any sanding or finishing?

Figures may require some minor finishing before painting, such as:

• Lightly sanding small print marks
• Gently scraping away tiny nubs where supports were removed
• Checking for and smoothing any faint layer lines

Use fine sanding sticks or very fine wet-and-dry paper, and work slowly to preserve the detail.

How should I handle the resin figure?

Resin can be quite delicate, so handle the figure by the sturdier parts of the body rather than thin details. Try to avoid dropping or bending any small protruding areas to prevent damage.

Can I convert or modify the figure?

Yes, many modellers like to gently re-position arms or add accessories, but remember it is high detail resin, so work carefully and avoid excessive force or heat that might damage the figure.

What primer should I use on this figure?

The figure can be primed with:

• Halfords grey primer
• Tamiya fine surface primer

Apply several light coats rather than one heavy coat to avoid obscuring the fine detail.

Which paints work best on this resin?

Once primed with a suitable primer such as Halfords grey or Tamiya fine surface primer, most hobby acrylic paints adhere very well. Allow the primer to cure fully before painting for the best results.

Any tips for painting realistic clothing and skin tones?

Because the figure is based on a real person, subtle shading works particularly well. Consider:

• Using thin layers of paint to preserve detail
• Adding gentle washes in folds of clothing
• Dry-brushing highlights on raised areas
• Building skin tones with several light, translucent layers

Take your time and let each layer dry thoroughly.

How should I mount the figure on my layout?

After painting and sealing (if you choose to varnish), you can mount the figure using a small amount of suitable adhesive on the feet. Make sure the surface is clean and dry, and hold the figure in place until the bond sets.

Do I need to varnish the figure after painting?

Varnishing is optional, but many modellers like to protect their paintwork with a clear matte or satin varnish. Apply light coats and avoid heavy spraying which could soften detail or cause runs.

What should I do if my figure arrives damaged?

If the piece appears to have been broken in the post, please take clear photos of the damage and the packaging, then get in touch. While we cannot be responsible for breakages after safe delivery, we will always see what we can do to help put things right when damage occurs in transit.

What if I accidentally break the figure after it arrives?

Unfortunately we cannot be held responsible for breakages once your item has arrived. Minor breaks can sometimes be repaired with a suitable modelling adhesive, but take care not to glue your fingers or obscure fine detail.

My figure seems slightly warped or bent. What can I do?

Very slight bends can sometimes be carefully straightened, but resin is delicate. If you notice a significant issue on arrival, please photograph it and contact us so we can advise on the best course of action.

The surface looks rough in a few spots. Is this normal?

Occasionally you may see small areas where supports were attached or where the print process leaves faint marks. These can usually be smoothed with gentle sanding or scraping as part of the minor finishing before priming.

Who produces and licenses this figure?

The figure is sold under commercial license from Design Scan Print 3D and is printed here in the UK using high detail resin, then cleaned, cured and packed by hand before dispatch.
