From 3D Print to Hand-Painted Statue: How Our Resin Figures Are Made

People often ask how our statues are made. Each piece goes through many hours of work between the digital model and the finished, hand-painted figure. Here is the process in our Athens studio, step by step.

1. The digital sculpt

Every figure starts as a 3D model. We prepare it for printing: splitting it into parts, adding connection points and making sure fine details like fingers, weapons and hair will print cleanly.

2. Resin 3D printing

The parts are printed in high-detail resin. Resin printing builds the model layer by layer with extremely thin layers, which captures skin texture, fabric folds and tiny details that would be lost with other methods.

3. Cleaning and curing

Fresh prints are washed to remove liquid resin and then cured with UV light so they become hard and stable. Support structures are removed by hand and the marks are sanded smooth.

4. Assembly

The parts are glued and fitted together. Seams are filled and sanded so the finished statue looks like one solid piece. Some pieces get extra elements at this stage, such as LED lighting, bases or mixed materials.

5. Priming

A primer coat gives the paint something to grip and reveals any last imperfections to fix before painting.

6. Hand painting

This is where the character comes alive. We paint in layers: base colours, washes to deepen shadows, then highlights to sharpen edges. Skin, metal, leather, blood or glowing effects each need their own techniques. Because every figure is painted by hand, no two are exactly alike.

7. Finishing and packing

Each statue is checked and packed carefully for shipping. Orders are made to order and take 4–8 weeks, then ship worldwide with tracking.
