Our founder, Alan Buttler, established Modelu Ltd in 2015. The business started out primarily catering to model railway enthusiasts, providing extremely detailed and accurate - yet affordable - 3D printed products for dioramas and displays, at a time when such items were not widely available to everyday consumers.

Over time, as Modelu has evolved, so has our product offering. In addition to providing a vast catalogue of existing scans that can be ordered for print (both railway-themed and beyond) via our Modelu Miniatures site, we have now also expanded into lifestyle portraiture through our new venture, Modelu Studio.

Modelu Studio offers our customers an in-house 3D body scanning experience, which we host at our Chipping Sodbury HQ, as well as at events across the UK. Our studio creates personalised, full-colour 3D figures, helping our clients celebrate significant life moments with bespoke pieces that capture their unique stories and personalities.

3D printing and scanning technologies, once reserved for the manufacturing industry, have now entered the mainstream. At Modelu, we make these innovations accessible to everyone, helping our customers turn their ideas into reality.

Capture life's big moments in miniature with Modelu Studio.
