Made to order
One photo in,
one tiny you out
Send a picture of someone worth keeping on a shelf — yourself, your kid, the friend who has everything — and it comes back as a big-headed pop-style figure, modelled and printed here. Two sizes, and you decide whether you paint it or I do.
From 50 NIS, modelling included.
Three steps
How it works
No modelling software, no measurements, no back and forth. A photo is the entire brief.
Send a photo
One clear, front-facing picture. Phone camera is fine — it gets resized before it ever leaves your browser.
Approve the preview
I sculpt the figure and send you a render of it. Hair, glasses, the shirt they always wear — this is where you ask for changes.
It gets printed
Printed in PLA+ at 0.1mm layers, cleaned up by hand, and either left white for you or painted before it ships.
Two sizes
Pick a size, pick a finish
Same sculpt, same detail, same photo. The only difference is how much shelf it asks for.
Your total
120 NIS
1 × Desk doll, Raw white
Actual relative size
Shown to scale against each other. The keychain is roughly a house key tall; the desk doll is about the height of a coffee mug.
Raw white
Half the fun is the paintbrush
The unpainted option is not a downgrade — for a lot of people it is the point. A blank white figure of someone they know is a far better afternoon than another colouring book, and the result survives being loved badly.
It also keeps 30 NIS on a keychain and 40 NIS on a desk doll.
What you need
- A light coat of grey or white primer, so the paint has something to hold.
- Ordinary craft acrylics — the water-based ones from any art shop.
- One medium brush for clothes, one fine brush for eyes and hair.
- A matte spray varnish at the end, if it is going to be handled every day.
Before you upload
What makes a photo work
Most of the sculpting time goes into faces the camera half-hid. Four things make the difference.
Face the camera
Straight on, eyes open, nothing covering the face. A three-quarter angle works; a profile does not.
Even light
Daylight near a window beats a flash. Hard shadows hide the shape of a nose and a chin.
Get close
Head and shoulders filling the frame. A face twelve pixels wide in a group shot has nothing to work from.
Show the outfit
If the jersey or the lab coat is the whole joke, make sure it is visible — or describe it in the notes.
Before you ask
Questions people actually ask
How many photos do you need?
One good one. If there is something the picture does not show — a haircut, a uniform, the exact shade of a football shirt — describe it in the notes and I will work from that.
Will it actually look like them?
It is a caricature, not a scan. The pop style is an oversized head on a simplified body, so expect 'that is definitely them' rather than a portrait. The preview render is exactly where you say the hair is wrong.
What is it made of?
PLA+, a rigid plant-based plastic, printed at 0.1mm layers and finished by hand. It is solid, light, and does not go brittle on a shelf.
Is it safe for kids to paint?
PLA takes ordinary water-based craft acrylics, which is what most kids' paint sets already are. The figure itself is a display piece, not a toy for a toddler — the keychain in particular is a small part, so it is not for under-threes.
How long does it take?
It depends on the queue and on how much sculpting the photo needs. You get a date in writing along with the preview render, before anything goes on the printer.
How does it reach me?
Tell me where you are in the notes and delivery is quoted with the preview. Collection in person can be arranged.
Can you do pets?
Yes. Dogs and cats translate into this style unreasonably well, and the same photo rules apply — face the camera, good light, close up.
Can I order a whole group?
A team, a wedding party, a classroom — it is done regularly. Put the headcount in the notes and send the photos after we have talked, and you will get a quote for the set.
