PHOTO TO FIGURE
Send us your photo and we’ll create a full-colour or grey resin 3D printed figure.
Available in your choice of scales including N, TT, HO, OO and O.
How it works
Every figure is a miniature interpretation of your photograph, designed to capture the character, clothing and overall likeness of your subject.
Upload your photo
Choose your scale and upload a photograph of your chosen subject. Whether it's a treasured family photo or a recent picture, we'll help bring it to life.
Approve your preview
We'll carefully prepare your photograph for conversion into a 3D model. You'll receive a preview to review and approve before we proceed.
We create your figure
Using your approved image, we'll create a detailed 3D model, carefully refine it and print your miniature in your chosen scale and finish.
Bring your scene to life
Your finished figure is delivered to your door, ready to take its place on your model railway, in a display, or as a unique personal keepsake.
A Likeness, Not a Replica
Our Photo to Figure service creates a recognisable likeness rather than an exact replica.
With an average OO scale figure standing just 23mm tall, some finer details will naturally be simplified.
These real examples show how the overall character of a photograph can be beautifully captured in miniature.
Photo Guidelines
These simple guidelines will help us achieve the best results.
Clear, well-lit photographs showing the whole person from head to toe give the best results.
Individuals and couples work best. For groups of more than two people, please contact us before ordering.
Very thin objects, such as poles and tools, may need to be thickened, simplified or removed.
Glasses and sunglasses cannot be reproduced. We can remove them before printing.
Children and babies can be included, either individually or held by an adult, provided they are clearly visible.
Pets are welcome too! Make sure they're clearly visible, ideally with their whole body in the photograph.
Missing parts of a photograph can often be recreated, although additional work and charges may apply.
We can bring old black-and-white photographs to life in full colour for a small charge.

Before you order
This service creates a miniature likeness, not an exact replica. Very small details may not be visible at smaller scales, especially in OO / 1:76 and smaller. Tiny lettering, badges, glasses, jewellery, logos and delicate equipment may need to be simplified or omitted.
