Good fit

Start with the object you have.

This route is for collectors who already own the figure or print and want the surface, color, assembly, or protection resolved for display.

01

Figure repaint

Change the style, correct the face, deepen the shading, or rebuild the full finish with brush and airbrush work.

02

Print finishing

Clean seams, fill gaps, sand layer lines, prime the surface, paint the parts, and apply the right protective coat.

03

Schedules depend on condition, size and queue. Confirm the date before shipping anything.

What to send

Photos first. Shipping later.

Send the front, back, sides, close shots of the problem areas, the dimensions, and the reference finish. Do not ship the piece before the work is accepted.

I will tell you whether the object needs a full repaint, focused correction, repair, print finishing, or no intervention. Material, condition, and old coatings affect what is safe.

  • Clear photos in neutral light
  • Height, material, and part count
  • Reference style or color target
  • Damage, loose parts, or old paint
  • Deadline and shipping location

Process

Make the unwanted texture quiet.

The finish is built in controlled stages so the final surface reads as one object.

Assess

Review photos, identify risks, and confirm whether the piece can be safely handled.

Prepare

Clean, disassemble where safe, repair, mask, sand, and prime the piece.

Paint

Build color, shading, highlights, eyes, material effects, and detail in layers.

Protect

Cure, seal, check under neutral light, then arrange pickup or careful shipping.

Christmas capacity stays in one queue.

For Christmas 2026, collector finishing and full sculptures share the same nine-slot commission queue. A paid deposit reserves a place after the scope and deadline are confirmed.

Questions

Before you send the piece.

Can you match a specific anime or game style?

Yes, when the reference and the requested finish are clear. The scope covers the repaint or finishing work, not an unlicensed commercial product run.

Can you work on a fragile statue?

Send photos first. Fragile joints, unknown materials, and old coatings need an assessment before the piece travels.

Do you accept tiny gaming miniatures?

The current service is aimed at display figures, statues, and presentation pieces. Tiny tabletop miniatures need a separate feasibility check.
