FAQ'S

Frequently asked questions

  • Advice before calling us

Please have the model code for the item(s) ready, you can find this in the items title. It will always begin with 'JR'.

Please also have a full Invoice and Delivery address to hand so we can accurately and quickly quote delivery and the total order price. 

  • If the item you require is not in stock..

If you're lucky it might already be on it's way to us at sea! Please call us to find out, 01626 833646. Alternatively, it could take up to 16 weeks for us to receive the item you require, so please order with this in consideration. 

Check out our 'coming soon' category here, this is items avaliable to order that are currently on their way to us at sea. 

IF YOU ARE ORDERING FOR CHRISTMAS, please order as early as January the year before you need it. This means you can pick exactly what you are after and have it in time for the Christmas rush. 

We of course order stock ourselves, but it may not necessarily meet your needs (quantity or style). ORDER AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE TO AVOID DISSAPOINTMENT! 

 

  • What are the Models made from?

ALL our models are made from Fibreglass & Resin. This is a 2-3cm mould, the model is hollow inside.

  • Can people sit on these models?

NO! We do not recommend that anyone sits on our models. They are hollow and have NO internal structure. 

 

  • Do you make custom models?

We do not make custom models unless you are looking for quantities of 100 or more as a minimum order (POA & Subject to change at any time). 

Please get in touch if you are looking for custom paint trails, art trails etc. 

We have provided models for many trails in the past - see some here -

Moor Otters Project - 2016 & ongoing. 

Hares on the March - 2016.

Guernsey Golden Goat - 2020.

  • How do I secure my new model to the floor?

We have a lot of customers ask how they secure their models to the floor. This can be achieved by ordering a model with footplates - see Below image as an example. THESE NEED TO BE SPECIFIED ON ORDERING, NOT AVALIABLE ON ITEMS ALREADY IN STOCK, ADDITIONAL PRICE MAY BE CHARGED. POA. 

EXAMPLE OF A FOOTPLATE FITTING. NOT STANDARD SPEC.

Alternatively, we have known customers to drill a hole and fill with sand to weigh them down. I have also heard some customers cement the model into the floor. It is hard to secure hanging items e.g. seagulls due to unpredictable weather conditions, please bare this in mind and bring models in when you are expecting adverse conditions. We are not responsible for any damage once an item has been delivered to you. 

*Please do your research as to how you will want them secured before purchasing. We can only advise, we have not tried all methods ourselves.*

 

  • How do I request a VAT invoice?

They are normally included in your confirmation email, after placing an order. Please check your SPAM/JUNK folder and if not there email us at accounts@lifesize-models.co.uk

 

  • How can I protect the paintwork on the model?

Please visit our new 'AFTERCARE FOR YOUR MODELS PAGE'

  • Can I paint my model?

GO FOR IT! We recommend buying a primer finish if you are after a total BLANK canvas as such. All models are avaliable in this (subject to change at any time). The paint we use for touch ups comes from this website linked here (GRAFF CITY, KOBRA). All water based, masonry paint is suitable and I really recommend finishing this model with a lacquer finish to protect the paintwork applied. 

  • How long does delivery take?

If the item you ordered is in stock, it should take 2-3 days after we have received the order, is paid for in full and we have all the required details. 

We have a cut off of 9am for deliveries being dispatched on the same day. If we receive your delivery after 9am, your delivery will go out the next working day. We are currently in the office Monday-Friday 9am-3pm.

Depending on your order we have 2 couriers, DPD and TPN (The Pallet Network). 

  • I have an issue with my delivery 

If you have any trouble with deliveries, please give us a call on 01626 833646 or email us at info@lifesize-models.co.uk. We are currently in the office Monday-Friday 9am-3pm.
