Napoleon Bonaparte

French Empire, 1812

Why ME23D

A small workshop. A real artist. Your face on the shelf.

We are not a generator and we are not a factory. Each figurine is built from your photo, hand-finished, photographed for your approval, then shipped.

10,000+

Figurines created

Years of process refinement on real subjects — from historical portraits to family photos to working dogs.

Wisconsin

Made by hand

A cabin in the middle of nowhere. One artist. A technique developed over a lifetime of design work, not a factory line.

Minutes

First preview

You see a render of your figurine in minutes, not days. Approve the look before we put a brush to anything.

Approved

Before it ships

Every finished piece is photographed and sent for your sign-off. If it’s wrong, we fix it. If it’s damaged in transit, we replace it.

About the technique

The ME23D process was built by a lifelong artist and designer working from a small cabin in northern Wisconsin. It is not licensed from anyone. It is not a generic AI service. Every step from photo to print to brush has been tuned for one thing: producing a recognizable likeness at hand-scale.

Start your build

Your subject. Your scene. Your figurine.

Upload a photo. Add a reference image if you want a specific look. Choose the size, occasion, and group. We render a preview in minutes, you approve, then it goes to the cabin to be printed and painted.

Before you submit

  • A clear, well-lit photo gives us the strongest likeness.
  • The reference image is optional — use it to show costume, scene, or transformation direction.
  • Pre-ship photo confirmation is included. If you don’t love it, we redo it.

Submission Form

Send your project

Use the number from your paid design-fee order so we can match this request to the purchase.

Upload the main subject image. This should show the person, pet, or primary subject clearly.

Upload a second image showing costume, character inspiration, outfit, pose mood, or transformation direction.

Group composition

How many subjects are in the figurine. Each adds a small fee; groups of 5+ are priced by quote.

Occasion

Helps us pick a base, pose, and packaging that matches the moment.

Size

Picking 6cm if you’re unsure — that’s our most-loved size for a personal figurine.

Style

Realistic preserves likeness most strongly; the other styles trade some likeness for a more distinct aesthetic.

Priority focus

Tell us what matters most if tradeoffs are needed.

Keep it practical. Call out the details that should survive into the final design direction.

Bundles & group orders

One figurine, the whole family, or the whole wedding party.

Designed-in-batch projects share artist time, so the more figurines in one order, the lower the per-figurine price. Final pricing locks at the preview step, before any paint touches resin.
