About Dark Forge Arts
Hello, and Welcome! Dark Forge Arts launched in August 2021 as an Etsy shop at first, gathered a wonderful community, reached thousands of sales with thousands of amazing reviews, and has always been a Star Seller. But after almost 4 years, Etsy did the worst, and suspended the shop on their platform, for no reason or warning, and even after appealing the decisons, they decided to ignore the email and never respond.Now a new era starts, and decided to create a new website, where you can have access to your favourite models, and more than that, to include you in the community! I hope you will give it a try, and for any queries, please don't hesitate to use the Chat button located in bottom right corner, where will be more than happy to assist you!
Dark Forge Arts was born from a passion for miniatures, terrain builds, scale models, and dioramas. Later finding the amazing things a 3D Printer can do, immediatly knew that was something to explore. Now that passion is to bring to life everyone's dream. With a high-quality miniature, or unique and personalized diorama just how you've imagined, even the perfect gift for someone you love!
The main goal is to provide high-quality items, so everyone who receives them will be more than satisfied. This goal will never change, so I hope you will give it a try, and guarantee you will not be disappointed!
Here you can find some of my artworks and paints, and along with that, providing for purchase 3D prints and dioramas, which can be also customized based on your preferences.
More than that, you can also send photos of your painted models which you purchases from this shop, and they will be displayed in the Gallery under Community Paints. Let's share together ideas and inspiration!

What level of detail are the painted models?
Models are painted in high quality for display.
Are the models printed in one piece or multiple parts?
Some models are printed in multiple parts which will require assembly. All models at scale 1:10 and 1:6 will come in parts. For 75mm and 32mm, most models are in 2 parts (model and base), but there are some which come in multiple parts (all models from 3DMoonn and Abe3D will come in multiple parts even at 75mm)
How big are the Bust versions?
All bust sizes are multiplied by x1.5. ( Ex: if a bust at scale 1:10 has 100mm, it will be multipled by x1.5, 100 x 1.5 = 150mm total size). This multplier is applied to determine the cost of the bust itself and be closer to an actual size of a normal model.
What sizes are 1:10 and 1:6 scale
1:10 scale means that the model in 10 times smaller than reality, and 1:6 means is 6 times smaller than reality. (Ex. If a model in real life has 180cm in height, at 1:10 scale model has 180mm in height)
Why are not all models available in all sizes?
Some of the models come in multiple parts, and printing them at small sizes, results in multiple small and very fragile parts, which are very difficult to print and will break easily.
Can I contact Dark Forge Arts to paint my models?
YES! You can send your own physical models/miniatures. DFA also does Commission Painting.
How long until my order is dispatched?
All models are added to print on the same day once an order is been placed. The usual time for dispatch is between 3-5 days, depending on how large an order is. Sometimes models can be posted even on the second day.
How long until a painted model is dispatched?
It all depends on the size of the model. For example, the models that have a scale of 1:10 usually take around a week to be done and ready to be sent compared to a larger model (scale 1:6), which can take even 2 weeks. Smaller models take a few days.
What happens if my order arrived damaged or lost?
If your order arrived damaged or got lost in shipping, the models will be replaced and a new parcel will be on the way to you.
