What affects the price

1. People and Character Details

Figures Up to 3 cm: Small-scale figures don't require intricate facial details, so generic representations take fewer hours.

Detailed Sculptures of Specific People: When a project requires realistic 3D modeling of someone's face or figure, especially for larger works, the time and effort increase significantly. Sculpting a lifelike representation demands advanced techniques and precision, which adds hours.

2. Epoxy Resin (Water Effects)

Epoxy resin is an essential material for creating realistic water effects, transparent surfaces, or glossy finishes. However, it's:

• Expensive: High-quality resin is a special material, so its cost may be added to the quote.
• Delicate to Work With: Requires specialty tools like pressure pots to avoid bubbles and ensure smooth results.
• Time-Consuming: Resin curing can take hours or even days, during which the piece needs careful monitoring.

3. Lighting Effects

Even in small-scale works, adding lighting requires a higher level of planning, materials, and labor:

• Small Pieces: Lights must be integrated into the base, which requires custom designs and electrical work.
• Larger Projects: The complexity increases with the need for more complex light composition, wiring, and installation techniques to ensure the lighting enhances the piece's overall aesthetic.

Lighting effects are transformative but involve additional steps that add hours. Lighting components with a high cost may be added to the quote.

4. Size and Scale

Working in three dimensions takes more modelling, printing and painting time, and as the project grows in size, the hours grow quickly.

5. Delivery

Ensuring your art piece arrives safely is a priority. Delivery is not part of the hourly rate and is charged separately:

• Packaging: Each piece is carefully packed with protective materials to prevent damage during transit. For fragile items like epoxy resin projects or those with delicate lighting, specialized packaging is used.
• Shipping Costs: Depending on the size, weight, and destination, shipping costs will vary. We'll provide a clear estimate based on your location.
• International Shipping: If you're outside our local delivery area, customs fees, insurance, and extended transit times may apply.
• Personal Delivery Option: For high-value or large-scale pieces, we may offer personal delivery and setup within certain regions for an additional fee.
