This family on the beach has been shrunk to the popular 1:32 scale (approx. 5-6 cm figure size).
Simply upload your photo in the Figure Configurator 📲

Many of our customers shrink themselves and their loved ones for miniature photography. The figures are then placed in real-life settings and photographed 🤳
Like the beach family here at the harbor in Münster/Westphalia 👋🏼

24 scales
1:87 H0 (many model railway enthusiasts use this scale)
1:64 (many Matchbox or Hot Wheels models are in this scale)
1:43 (there are many highly detailed model cars for collectors in this scale)
and many more...
For the small model-making scales, scroll all the way down in the Figure Configurator. White on black.
No. We can't do cars (because of the windows)

This is a lovely customer example of how you can gift or display your figurines. For a “round” 3D frame like this, try searching for “cube shelf”.

We shrink you from a photo. A simple mobile phone photo is enough. The background doesn't matter.
You can also include your bicycle, scooter, surfboard, lawnmower, guitar, dog...
See "Accessories" in the Figure Configurator

First, you are digitally sculpted by hand based on your photo. No scan. That’s why not everything has to be visible in the photo. (such as the feet here, for example).
We sculpt you much like working with clay. Just digitally. Then you are printed in white using resin...
Afterwards, lovingly cleaned, hardened, and finally painted by hand with a mini brush...🎨 This couple with bouquet is in a 1:32 scale

Here are 6 men in our favorite scale, 1:43 = approx. 4 cm figure height
Accessories = whatever is visible in your photo and should be shrunk too.. e.g. like Jens's skateboard here.

Choose your accessory in the configurator (whatever is with you in your photo and should be shrunk with you too...
Small = mobile phone, glass, microphone, cap, bouquet of flowers, small dog, or similar.
Medium = folding chair, guitar, racket, chainsaw, sled, school cone, parasol, medium-sized dog, or similar.
Large = large bench, lounger, surfboard, large dog, double bass, wheelchair, or similar.
XL=motorcycle, scooter, horse, beach chair, ride-on mower... what should we shrink you with?

We also shrink families, crews, bands, clubs, departments, workforces...

No. We don't shrink cars. But we do shrink you and your loved ones, your crew or team for your model car, scale model project, diorama... 24 scales.
Here is Johan with his 911 crew at 1:43 scale

Let’s assume you are 180cm tall.
Then, at 1:87,
180:87 = approx. 2 cm tall
These examples are 1:87 and 1:32
Choose your desired figure size from 24 additional scales

Here as an example in 1:32 with a handmade wooden walkway, a few little flowers, and it instantly looks completely different.
From now on, you can order your custom 3D frame directly from us.

I can recommend it to anyone looking for a special gift
I can absolutely recommend Shrinkme...
I had the honor of receiving a figure of my character Ian MacMahoon.
Let Schrumpfmich freeze moments for eternity for you.....So realistic like I had never seen before. Great work by genuinely talented model makers. Unique, in my opinion"
Biggi Mussil
We have three groups of 3 and 4 people each
to have it shrunk to a 1:24 scale as a Christmas gift for our 3 children and their families. The result was fabulous, and the delivery was faster than expected.
I was also delighted with the excellent support afterwards via e-mail, because I still had a few questions about the glue and further processing at home.
Even the backs of the figures (which of course cannot be seen in the photos) were perfectly crafted. I can only warmly recommend Schrumpfmich.de! These figures really make a very special gift!
Heinz Hofmann
"The delivered figures"
...are exactly as detailed as shown in the submitted photos. The faces are reproduced true to the original.
The scenes created with the modeled miniature people radiate identity and the desired moods.
I can only recommend the "Shrinkers" from Schrumpfmich! I'm already looking forward to the next project with figures from Schrumpfmich."
Guido Kruschke
"We’ve simply become amazing 😍
We Upper Bavarians as miniature figures in 1:87.
We really like ourselves as replicas and say THANK YOU to the great Schrumpfmich team 🤗🙏!
A clear recommendation from us - and more figure variations will definitely follow 😀!"
Sandra Langenmayr
"I got for my boyfriend for Christmas"
have a figurine of us made in size 1:87.
I can hardly put into words how impressed we were with the quality. My boyfriend was very happy. 1:87 really is very small, and despite that, the Schrumpfmich team recreated us almost perfectly.
The communication was also very friendly. Clear recommendation!"
Udo Schlemmer
Model Making Schlemmer says thank you for the great figurines
Whether for me personally or mainly for my customers, it is always a pleasure to work with you. 😊
So far, there hasn't been a single request from me that you couldn't make happen - quite the opposite, I was sometimes surprised by what's possible.
questions and answers
If I order a 3D frame, are the figures included?
No. The figures must be ordered separately from the 3D frame in the figure configurator.
Are the optional 3D frames delivered fully assembled?
No. The figures must be glued in place by yourself. Simply use any super glue you already have, or buy a mini tube from our shop.
Is one photo enough or should I upload more?
A clear photo from the front is absolutely sufficient. For more details, you can upload 3-4 photos per figure. Then please mark the photo for the position (the way we should shrink) or write information in the comments field... done.
What do the figures look like from the back?
Of course, we sculpt and paint the backs of your figurines too. Your figurines are delivered fully in 3D.
You can also describe how the figurine should look from behind in the order notes, or upload a second reference photo showing the back.
(For example, for a sports jersey or an elaborate bridal hairstyle :)
If we only have a front-view photo, we sculpt and paint the figurine just as we think it should look from behind :)
Can I also order a 3D picture frame from you?
Yes. We currently offer white and black. Always with a real glass pane and optionally with a custom-modeled frame base (refined) You can order the frame here.
Will my character be completely photorealistic?
No. We always sculpt and paint each figurine individually based on a photo. This is not a SCAN. You'll recognize yourself easily, but there will always be an artistic touch.
Your figurine will look its best in a distinctive pose and with accessories (visible in your photo, which you'd like us to shrink down too, e.g. a trumpet or camera).
Does the resolution and background of the photo matter?
It doesn't need to be high-resolution. Any phone photo will do. We don't use scanning. Everything is modeled and painted by hand. So you can even upload an old photo of Grandma or Grandpa to shrink down.
The background doesn't matter. The background doesn't need to be a solid color or anything like that. We don't scan anything; we model and paint everything by hand.
A regular smartphone photo, like the thousands you probably have on your phone, is enough.
Does the photo have to show every body part of the person being shrunk?
NO. We sculpt and paint everything by hand. In that case, tell us in the order notes what you would like us to sculpt and in which color. If the feet are not visible in the photo, for example, write "Man wearing white sneakers" - " Woman barefoot"
Otherwise, we'll simply create the figurine the way we think looks best :)
Why shrink anyway?
As a truly personal keepsake or gift.
We could write a whole book about this :) Most people get miniaturized as a gift. For 3D frames, desks, shelves, etc..
But there's even more you can do :) Just imagine adding your loved ones and yourself as tiny figures to your miniature landscape or model railway layout :)
You could hang yourself and your loved ones on the wall in a 3D frame.
Or use them as wedding cake toppers. The possibilities go on and on ..
o
Do you also shrink objects or animals?
This is our range of accessories in the figurine configurator.
Here you can select or add the approximate size of the object or animal you want to miniaturize to your order
See examples of accessories in the configurator
Shrink with accessories "Small", "Medium", "Large" or "XL"?
Small = Cell phone, glass, microphone, baseball cap, bouquet or similar
Medium = Folding chair, guitar, racket, chainsaw, sled, school cone, parasol or similar
Large = Bench, lounger, surfboard, large dog, double bass, wheelchair or similar
XL = Motorcycle, horse, bicycle, hooded beach chair, ride-on mower; piano or similar.
PLEASE NOTE: We do NOT shrink cars
How big will my figure be?
You can find our scales in the "Figurine Configurator".
Your figurine's height is calculated by dividing your actual height in cm by the scale.
Example: You are 1,80 m tall and want to know how tall your figurine will be at 1:50?
Simply calculate 180 cm :50 = 3,6 cm figurine height
Where can I see more figures and accessories examples?
Please take a look at our Instagram channel or Facebook FEED
What is the current delivery time from uploading my photo?
Every figurine is unique and entirely handmade.
We currently need around 6-8 weeks from the date of your order to create your miniature.
We'll then send your figurine by mail.
