FAQs
Q: What services do you offer?
A: Primarily, I design vintage-style 3d-printable action figures and accessories, based on all sorts of pop culture. I sell the digital files though Cults3d.com and unpainted printed figures primarily through Etsy. I also offer digital scanning services, so if you have some weird old toy you’d like scanned, reach out!
Q: What are your figures made of?
A: Unless otherwise noted, my figures are printed in UV resin, properly cured and cleaned. Note that while these figures are poseable and look great on display, they are NOT factory-produced plastic and are therefore not as durable as something you’d buy at the store. These are for collectors and not intended to be played with.
Q: How do you print your figures?
A: I have a nice little page devoted to answering those questions right HERE.
Q: I’m new to all of this and don’t know what types of paints to use. Can you help?
A: Yes! I have a page HERE that runs through all my recommended materials.
Q: I like your figures but I’m not any good at painting – will you paint the figures for me?
A: Sadly, I just don’t have the time to paint figures on demand. BUT…There’s a bit of good news here – first off, sometimes I offer batches of fully painted figures for sale when I have the time (keep an eye on my Instagram for details). And second, there are a few well-respected dudes out there who regularly paint my figures for customers
– Greg at Ouroboros Customs (US)
– Steven at KeepersKustoms (US)
– Hayden at The Retro Painter (UK)
Q: Do you do commission work?
A: Kinda? Sometimes? In addition to the long backlog of things I want to design for myself, I also have a list of things people have requested and I’m ticking them off as fast as I can. So reach out if you have a specific request. ALSO – if you want something specific just for yourself (like say, a set of custom figures based on you and your friends), get in touch. I take on jobs like that whenever I have time to do so!
Q: How long will it take for me to receive my order?
A: That depends on what you order and from where! Sometimes I’ll sell figures that are ready to ship so you’ll get them roughly within a week. If you buy unpainted figures or parts though my Etsy site, the shipping times are clearly stated over there.
Q: I want something not on your site, but that I’ve seen on your Instagram or Facebook page…can I custom order something?
A: Maybe! It depends on my workload at the time, but please do reach out if you’re looking for something in particular.
Q: I want to get into 3d modeling…can you help?
A: Well I won’t walk you through it, but my recommendation would be to look at software like ZBrush and Nomad Sculpt (iPad) for modeling complex things like figures and faces. Also check out MeshMixer and Blender for modeling more geometric things and larger-scale stuff like playsets. There are a zillion YouTube videos that will walk you through all of these!
