We print the model on an 8K resin 3D printer in high quality, so even the finest details are preserved. The printed model is cleaned, cured and ready for priming and painting. Supports and their marks are removed.
3D design: Animal Den Miniatures. We print and sell it under a purchased commercial licence.
We print our figures ourselves on an 8K resin printer. Some pieces are already printed and ship right away. If this figure is not printed yet, we ship it within 7 days of your order. When you pay by bank transfer, the 7 days start once the payment reaches our account.
How big is the figure?
A male ostrich stands 2.1–2.8 metres tall. At 1/24 scale the model is roughly 9–11 cm tall – one of the tallest figures in the category.
Is the figure painted?
No. The figure comes unpainted in a single resin colour – the colours in the photos show how it can look once painted.
Does it need any preparation before painting?
The model is cleaned and cured after printing and the supports are removed. We recommend applying a primer before painting – paint adheres better and the details stand out.
When will you ship it?
If it is already printed, it ships right away. If not, we print it and ship it within 7 days of your order; with bank transfer, within 7 days of receiving your payment.
