How Do I Order a Custom Model?
Ordering a custom model is simple. Just go to our Custom Model Order Page to choose your model – the hardest part of the process is picking which model you like best. Once you place your order you will receive a thank you e-mail and a link to your web based custom model order form. This user friendly order form will walk you through the entire process of designing your model, uploading your photographs and creating your personalized desktop display stand. Once your model is built we will send you a series of photographs to review and approve before we ship your model. Remember, this is your custom model and it can be made any way you wish. We only charge a 50% deposit to get your model started and the balance when your model is shipped. We offer several different desktop models. Below is a chart of what is included with each:
