DigitalRelics

Scale models and dioramas built with CAD, resin and a paintbrush — accurate enough to study, finished well enough to display.

Automotive, aerospace, architecture and scenes. Made to order in editions, or one of one.

Every model starts as data and ends as an object.

We scan or model the subject in CAD, print it in SLA resin and PLA, then finish it the slow way — sanded, primed, airbrushed and detailed by hand in acrylics.

That combination is the whole point. The geometry is measured, not eyeballed, so the proportions hold up next to reference photographs. The surface is painted, not printed, so it reads as a real object under a real light.

Nothing ships without a build record: the source data, the layer height, the paint codes and the hours.

Collections

Five active programmes

01

Automotive

Production EVs, hypercars and rally machines at 1:43 through 1:18. Bodies printed, panel gaps cut, chrome laid in foil.

A detailed model aircraft
02

Aerospace

Airliners, fighters, drones and launch vehicles — including boosters in landing configuration with deployed legs and grid fins.

A contemporary architectural model of a multi-storey building
03

Architecture

Towers, terminals and single interiors from your BIM or IFC files. Cut-aways and lit sections on request.

A street diorama with a car and a motorcycle
04

Scenes

Dioramas built to a time of day. Wet asphalt, sodium light, fibre-optic signage — the scene is lit, not just painted.

Figures & hard surface

Crew, riders and mecha at 1:24 and larger. Sculpted or scanned, printed at 20-micron layers, painted to display standard.

How a piece gets built

Five stages, roughly six to sixteen weeks

The studio runs four resin printers and two filament machines alongside a spray booth and a paint bench. Digital work and hand work happen in the same room, usually on the same day.

You see the geometry before it prints and the paint before it ships. Changes at the CAD stage cost nothing, which is exactly why we ask for approval there.

  1. Stage 01

    Scan or model

    Photogrammetry from your object, or CAD from drawings and photographs. You approve the geometry before anything prints.

  2. Stage 02

    Print

    SLA resin for detail, PLA for structure and mass. Visible surfaces run at 20-micron layers; hidden ones run faster.

  3. Stage 03

    Finish

    Supports cut, surfaces wet-sanded, seams filled and re-scribed. Every panel is checked under raking light before primer.

  4. Stage 04

    Paint

    Airbrushed base coats, then hand detail in acrylics. Colours matched to your reference rather than to a chart.

  5. Stage 05

    Mount & ship

    Set on a machined base with an anodised plate, cased in cut foam, sent with the build record and paint codes.

SLA resin

Carries fine detail — rivets, grilles, tread blocks, lettering. Used anywhere a tenth of a millimetre is visible.

20–50 µm layers

PLA

Structure, bulk and bases. Stable, easy to correct, and it takes filler and primer without complaint.

0.1–0.2 mm layers

Wood & metal

Lime wood, brass rod and etched sheet where a printed part would look soft or sit wrong on weight.

Hand-cut, per piece

Acrylics

Airbrushed and hand-applied, mixed in-house. Weathering is painted in layers, never lifted from a decal sheet.

Codes on the record

Commissions

Tell us the subject, the scale you have in mind, and where it will sit. We come back within three working days with a build plan, an edition size and a price.

Send whatever reference you have — photographs, drawings, a CAD file, an IFC export. If you only have a description, that works too; we will draw it and show you before we print.

Reference files stay yours. We keep a working copy only while the piece is on the bench.

We reply to every request within three working days.
