Stand still for a minute.
Take yourself home.
We scan you in the studio and have a full-colour figurine of you printed — the whole family, the team, the dog, whoever turns up. Not a photograph of the day. The people who were in it, at eight inches tall.
Four steps, one visit
The only part you have to turn up for is the second one, and it is over almost before it starts.
Pick a date and tell us who is coming. One person, a couple, the whole family — we hold the studio for you.
You stand on the turntable and six cameras take 360 frames as it turns. Ten seconds, fully clothed, nothing to sit through. The platform takes 500 kg, so a whole family can stand on it together.
Your scan is cleaned up and sent to our print house, who print it in full-colour resin. Nothing is printed in the studio, so the room stays a studio.
About three weeks later it arrives, boxed and ready to give. Collect it from us or have it delivered.
How big is it, really?
Drawn to scale — a 9 cm figure really is this much smaller than a 21 cm one. The price covers one person; a couple, a family or a whole team stand on the platform together and come back on a single base, at the smaller rate for each extra person. Full-colour resin, printed in one piece.
Desk-sized. The one people buy several of, one per grandparent.

Questions
How long does it take?
The scan is ten seconds. Printing takes seven days at our print house, and about three weeks all in once it has travelled to you — we give you the date when you book.
What is it made of?
Full-colour resin, printed in one piece with the colour in the material rather than painted on afterwards. It is solid and it does not fade.
What should we wear?
Whatever you want to remember yourselves in. Texture and pattern come out well; anything shiny or transparent is harder to capture, so glasses may be worth taking off.
Can you scan small children?
Yes. Ten seconds is short enough that a child only has to hold still for a moment, and we can scan them being carried if that is easier.
Can more than one person be in it?
Yes — couples, families and teams stand on the platform together and are printed on a single base. The listed price covers one person; each further person on the base adds the smaller figure shown with that size, so a group is never priced as several separate figurines.
Can we order more than one copy?
Yes, and it is much cheaper the second time — the scan is already done, so a repeat copy is only the printing. Ask us and we will quote it.
What happens to my scan?
It is used to make your figurine and kept so you can reorder the same one later. We do not pass it to anyone but the print house.
