1. Ordering Process
How can I place a custom diorama order?
You can get in touch with us through our communication channels to discuss project details, scaling, and receive a price quote. We can start the process by sharing photos, drawings, or reference images of the desired building, location, or concept.
2. Pricing and Payment
How is pricing determined?
Pricing is determined by the architectural complexity of the project, the scale of the building (number of floors, number of windows, physical dimensions such as width, length, and height), the requested level of detail, and the intensity of special materials to be used. Since each project is designed entirely custom for you, a personalized price quote is provided after the details are finalized, rather than a standard price list.
What is the payment process and return policy?
After agreeing on the project details, a 50% deposit of the total amount is required to initiate the work process. Since each diorama is completely custom-made, order cancellation or refunds are strictly not accepted once the production process has begun. The remaining 50% payment is collected when the diorama is completed and presented to you for approval.
3. Production and Materials
What materials and technologies are used?
State-of-the-art 3D printing systems, laser cutting technologies, and high-quality modeling materials (special textured paints, resin, wood, and actual miniature building elements) are used together to maximize realism.
How does the production process work?
My dioramas are unique works of art created entirely through handcraftsmanship:
- Planning: Architectural details, number of floors, windows, doors, and project dimensions.
- Design: 3D modeling in SketchUp down to every detail.
- Approval: 3D digital draft presented for your review and revisions.
- Part Production: Each part produced separately via 3D printing and laser cutting.
- Detailing and Assembly: Hand-painted, weathered, and assembled.
What scales do you work with?
Generally 1/10 to 1/100, but flexible depending on project size and desired space. The ideal scale is determined based on the working area dimensions and the actual structure of the building.
Can you work just from photos without architectural plans?
Yes. Clear photos from different angles, street view images, or older drawings are more than enough. We analyze proportions and details through these visuals and model identically.
4. Lighting and Electrical Infrastructure
Do the dioramas have a lighting (LED) system?
Yes, indoor and outdoor LED lighting systems are professionally integrated where requested. The system operates via USB power (TV, power bank, computer, or any USB output). An external Wi-Fi remote control is also included.
5. Delivery, Shipping, and Customs
Do you ship internationally and how much is the shipping fee?
Yes, we ship worldwide with reliable partners. Shipping fees are covered by us — no extra shipping cost is charged to you.
Who is responsible for customs duties?
Customs duties, import fees, and taxes vary by the buyer's country and local customs policies. Such expenses are entirely the responsibility of the buyer.
Will the diorama get damaged during shipping?
We use a special securing method: the platform is covered with protective tape and fastened to styrofoam and the box interior using hot silicone. The artwork does not move inside the box and arrives safely anywhere in the world.
6. Maintenance and Care
Does the diorama require maintenance after delivery?
Keep away from direct sunlight and display inside a box or showcase to prevent dust. When cleaning is needed, dust with a soft, dry brush.
7. Production Time and Revisions
How long does it take to complete a diorama?
Production time varies by complexity, scale, and current workload. An estimated schedule is provided once project details are finalized, with stage updates shared throughout.
Can we make revisions during production?
Absolutely — revisions are welcome during the SketchUp approval stage. However, once digital approval is given and physical production begins, major changes are not possible due to the nature of the materials.
