Tankman’s Daughter

Made to order

Commissions

Something that matters to you, made small by hand. I take on a few custom pieces at a time — here's the kind of thing I love to make.
  • Your regiment

    A figure in the exact uniform, insignia and kit of your unit — past or present.

  • A relative's tank or vehicle

    The Sherman, Valentine or Land Rover someone in your family served in, down to the markings.

  • S.

    A pet on a wood slice

    Your dog, cat or chook, painted small on a slice of native timber. A lovely gift.

  • A scene from a photo

    An old family photograph brought to life as a little diorama or painting.

A rough guide

What it costs, and how long

Every piece is different, so these are starting points rather than fixed prices. Size, detail and how many figures are involved all make a difference — I'll always give you a clear quote first.

How it works

Three steps from idea to parcel

  1. 1

    Tell me the idea

    Use the form below. Share what you'd like, roughly how big, and any photos or stories that go with it.

  2. 2

    We agree the details

    I'll reply with questions, a price and a timeline. Nothing starts until you're happy with the plan.

  3. 3

    I build, you watch

    I'll send progress photos from the bench, then post it, carefully packed, anywhere in the world.

Tell me what you have in mind

A sentence or two is plenty to begin. I read every request myself and reply by email, usually within a few days.

Who or what it is, roughly how big, and whether you have photos to share.

Just a guide — we'll work out the details together.

No obligation — just a chat to start.
