Mini Maker 3D
Custom 3D Printed Military Models
Build historical or modern military figures that don't exist in any kit: upload photos or describe the subject and Mini Maker 3D generates a scale-accurate military model, with a printability report before you download.
- 1:72, 1:35 and 1:32 selectable, plus many other ratios and custom scales
- Standing, sitting, walking or fully custom poses
- Download in STL once your export is ready, with GLB where supported
Custom historical and modern military subjects
Create figures that no kit manufacturer makes: a specific regiment, a uniformed relative, a reenactor impression, or a modern serviceman or servicewoman. Work from photographs of a person in uniform, or from a written description covering the period, uniform and equipment.
Uniforms, equipment and reference photographs
Uniform and equipment accuracy depends entirely on the references you supply and your review of the preview. Upload up to six photos — front, side and rear of the uniform, plus close-ups of equipment where possible — and use the instructions field to note details the modeller should include or omit.
We don't guarantee historical accuracy: check the generated preview carefully, request changes, and only download when the figure matches your references.
Common supported scales
Figure height is the real-world height you enter divided by the scale denominator, so a taller or shorter subject scales proportionally. You can also set an exact target height.
| Scale | Figure height | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 1:72 | ≈ 24.3 mm | Small-scale dioramas and wargame-adjacent displays |
| 1:35 | ≈ 50.0 mm | Classic military model kit scale |
| 1:32 | ≈ 54.7 mm | Larger display figures with fine detail |
- Many other ratios are selectable too, from 1:148 up to 1:12, plus any custom denominator — so military figures can match railway, wargaming or display collections.
Supported poses
Choose standing, sitting, walking or running; keep the pose exactly as shown in your photographs; or describe a fully custom pose — a sentry presenting arms, a crewman seated at a hatch, a soldier kneeling at ease.
STL downloads and optional professional printing
Every model gets a printable STL file with printability information for preparing it on your own printer, plus an interactive 3D preview to inspect before download. Prefer a printed figure? Request a professional print quote — printing and postage are quoted separately, and postage is charged once per order.
Figures are supplied ready to paint, with a fine 0.35 mm minimum-feature option for small-scale uniform detail.
Frequently asked questions
Which military scales can I choose?
1:72, 1:35 and 1:32 are selectable, as are many other ratios from 1:148 up to 1:12 and any custom denominator you enter. The printed height is your subject's real-world height divided by the scale denominator.
How many reference photos should I supply?
Up to six. A clear front view plus rear and side angles of the full figure works best, in daylight against a plain background. Add close-ups of distinctive equipment as extra photos, and use the instructions field for anything the modeller should know.
Will the uniform and equipment be historically accurate?
Accuracy depends on the references you supply and your review of the generated preview — we don't guarantee historical accuracy. Check the preview against your references, request changes, and download only when you're satisfied.
Can I create seated figures, like vehicle crew?
Yes. Choose the Sitting pose or describe a custom pose in words; the generator also supports standing, walking, running and keeping the pose from your photos.
Do you print the models for me?
Optionally. Alongside the STL download you can request a professional print quote; printing and postage are quoted separately and postage is charged once per order. Lead times depend on the quote you receive.
Questions and answers are also marked up for search engines; FAQ rich results are never guaranteed.
