A lot of the resin kit market treats designers as vendors — paid once for a master file, then disconnected from whatever the buyer eventually pays for the manufactured kit. We wanted to build something different: a small studio where the named designer stays attached to the edition, gets paid per kit sold, and can see the same numbers we see.
06MISSION_BRIEF
Mini Mecha is built around partnerships with independent resin sculptors. Every kit in our catalogue is designed by a named creator who shares in the revenue from every sale.
01WHY_THIS_EXISTS
02REVENUE_SPLIT
Each Mini Mecha edition is co-released with a named designer. The designer receives 15% of net revenue from every kit sold in their edition. This is the baseline rate we offer all collaborators — no per-edition negotiation drama, no hidden tier system.
What “net revenue” means
Sale price minus payment-processing fees (Stripe) and shipping cost. Production cost, packaging, and platform overhead come out of the Mini Mecha share, not the designer’s. We do this so the designer’s share doesn’t fluctuate based on choices they don’t control (manufacturer pricing, packaging upgrades, infrastructure spend).
When payments flow
Designer payments are reconciled monthly via Stripe Connect or direct bank transfer (designer’s choice). Each payment is accompanied by a per-kit breakdown.
What the designer keeps
Designers keep full ownership of the underlying design IP. Mini Mecha holds a non-exclusive licence to manufacture and sell the agreed edition. Designers are free to sell their own variants, commissioned versions, or unrelated work through their own channels.
Margin transparency
Per-edition cost + price + margin breakdowns will be published alongside each closed edition once the accounting model is settled.
03NAMED_COLLABORATORS
DethKlaw Miniatures
SCULPTOR · DIGITAL · GREECE
Greece-based independent digital sculptor working in small-scale sci-fi mechs and robot characters. Hard-edged industrial designs with visible engineering — exposed cabling, mechanical joints, armour that looks load-bearing rather than smoothed-over for shelf appeal.
Releases pre-supported STL files designed to print clean on standard MSLA hardware. Each kit ships with Lychee scene files and tested support orientations — production-quality at the file level, not just the design.
WSV-05 is the first Mini Mecha collaboration. The bipedal Walker chassis was iterated across eleven test prints before final master release — part separation, support orientation, and assembly tolerance all worked through end-to-end.
04FOR_BUYERS
Every Mini Mecha kit you buy is part-payment to the named designer of that edition. We also encourage supporting designers directly — through their Patreon, their commission queue, or their other shops. Mini Mecha doesn’t replace the rest of the resin scene; we sit alongside it.
05FOR_DESIGNERS
If you’re a resin kit designer and this is the kind of arrangement you’d want to be part of, we want to hear from you. Send us a portfolio link and a short note about what you’re currently working on: operator@minimecha.com.
Designers are independent creators in profit-share agreements with Mini Mecha. They aren’t employees or contractors of the studio.
