Digital sculpt of Scary Girl by Nathan Jurevicius, produced as a resin fine art multiple. Two versions were produced, one with a bronze finish and the other with a full color paint application.
Yes. We can produce a run of toys from a client’s existing 3d model. There may be a little tweaking involved, or a complete rebuild, depending on the condition of the supplied model. While models built for video games, film, cut-scenes, and print look similar,…
We sculpted up a massive figure for Jeremy “Mad” Madl titled “Modern Hero”. One wonderful thing about digital sculpting is that the sculpts can be easily modified and turned into fresh ideas. Jeremy had us pop off Modern Hero’s head and shrink it down to…
Skull Boy by Shag is SOLD OUT! Congratulations to Squibbles Ink and Rotofugi and Shag! Thank you for letting us work on this wonderful piece with you.
Sofubi, short for “soft vinyl,” is a type of plastic material used to create Japanese vinyl toys. These toys have captured the hearts of collectors worldwide due to their unique aesthetics and tactile appeal. One reason why we love Sofubi is their ability to be…
Working with fine artist Travis Louie, we were able to adapt his painting of “Uncle Six Eyes” for production as a limited edition resin bust. Released in 2011, the bust is limited to 150 pieces in white and 25 pieces in black. The black version…
You can send us pretty much any format – Maya, 3ds Max, Zbrush, Mudbox, Modo, and we’ll clean up and prep the model and make sure that it is watertight, scaled, articulated, cut up for manufacturing, etc. before sending to the printer. The files that…
Jared Nickerson at JThree Concepts designed this adorable little fellow and we couldn’t resist turning him into a full three dimensional sculpt.
Madl has produced a very limited run of black Modern Heroes in resin. Designed by Madl and sculpted by Shinbone.
Our digital sculpt of this colorful and generous superhero character was used to create a one-off prototype for use in the “Win One, Give One” campaign by General Mills. The superhero 3d model was rapid-prototyped and hand painted and used as the main character in…
We can print a full color model, but we don’t recommend it. At the end of the day, you’ll only have a single piece, colored, for display and it won’t be reproducible. If you are interested in a full production run, painted, of your piece,…
Scott contributed a portrait of a massive fleshy creature to the Guzu Gallery “Strange Beasts” group show in Austin, Texas. This is a snapshot of the work in progress, showing all of the delicious little details that were built.
JC Rivera has designed a wonderfully personal version of the John Hancock Tower in Chicago. Shinbone sculpted the figure and produced the rapid-prototype.
The crew at Shinbone all share a deep love of toy design and we never sleep. This simpering little monkey, or “Minkey”, if you will, demands attention. If you don’t have attention to spare, he’ll accept bananas. “Minkey” is a vinyl toy design for younger…
For basic resin reproduction, we can do some fancy footwork and produce a piece with metal axles and resin wheels, but it is tricky and requires a fair amount of assembly. For larger production runs in ABS, we can engineer a fairly standard execution of…
Shinbone’s been getting so much love and support lately that it’s time to give something back. If you like monsters or if you’re curious about how we sculpt toys, here’s a 3d model of a little critter to load up and take a close look…
Produced by JINX! and designed by Madl and sculpted by Shinbone.
We love giant monsters from their noses to their toeses. We love giant monsters so much that even the Shinbone logo is a shoutout to the wonderful world of Japanese monster toys, also known as “kaiju”. Thoza is our first sassy creature with a heart…
For resin, the minimum is extremely low, as low as 10 or 30 units. For vinyl, it is possible to sweet talk a factory into producing 500, but they would prefer to do no less than 1000, usually. A run of 500 will cost more,…
The flexibility and speed of digital sculpting has an associated cost that sometimes surprises designers. Printing the sculpt can occasionally be perilously expensive. More!
