How to order your own

Good photos make a good bust. Send four angles in even light and we do the rest.

  1. 01

    Send reference photos

    Front, left profile, right profile, and a three-quarter view. Natural daylight, no hats or glasses, phone camera is fine. Add a height if you have a spot in mind.

  2. 02

    We build the 3D model

    You get a turntable preview to approve before anything is printed.

  3. 03

    Approve size, finish, and quote

    Pick a size and a finish. We confirm the price and lead time before the work starts.

  4. 04

    We print, mold, cast, and finish

    The master is printed, a mold is pulled, and your bust is poured in cement, cured, and finished by hand.

  5. 05

    Ship or local pickup

    Crated and shipped, or collect it from the workshop.

Questions we get

Will it survive winter outside?

Yes. Every bust is sealed for outdoor use. In hard-freeze climates, keep it off bare soil so water cannot pool at the base.

How long does a bust take?

{{LEAD_TIME}} from the day you approve the model. Rush work depends on what is already in the mold room.

Can I ask for changes to the model?

Yes. You see a preview before we print, and that is the moment to change anything about the likeness or the pose.

How does shipping work for something this heavy?

Each piece is crated on a pallet for anything large, or boxed with foam for the smaller sizes. We quote shipping with the piece.

Can you make more than one?

Once the mold exists, extra casts are much cheaper than the first. Say up front if you want a pair or a run.
