Please be advised that some items are 3D printed to order. As a result, it may take up to 2 weeks to process and ship your order. This ensures each model is produced with care and attention to detail. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Please note: These resin 3D prints are produced with care, but due to the nature of the 3D printing process, they might have minor layer lines, small surface imperfections, or occasional light warping. Some sanding, filling, or gentle heat correction may be needed to get them ready for painting and assembly. This bit of extra prep is a normal (and often rewarding) part of the hobby, giving you the chance to really make each piece your own..
