Noble Nerds is a small, independent shop in Lafayette, Indiana, dedicated to one thing: highly detailed tabletop miniatures, sculpted statues, and deck boxes for people who take their hobby seriously.
Every piece in our catalog begins its life as an original digital sculpt by one of our partner artists. We work directly with the creators — the same artists whose work you'll find on Patreon — and every product we sell carries their commercial license. When you buy a statue from us, the sculptor gets paid, and their work gets shared with more of the community. That's the deal we make with every artist we partner with, and it's the reason our catalog feels different from a mass-produced mini store.
What we make
Highly detailed statues. Our flagship line. Character statues in 1:12, 1:10, 1:8, and 1:6 scales, each one sculpted as a full-body pose designed to sit on a display shelf or a tabletop centerpiece. Available unpainted (ready for your own primer and paint) or fully hand-painted by our studio.
Miniatures. Smaller-scale figures for tabletop gaming — from Star Wars and Halo to original characters. These print crisp, fit standard bases, and are ready to drop into your game or display case.
Deck boxes. 100-stack and 80-stack deck boxes for card games, built from the same durable, detail-focused printing process as our statues. A clean home for your cards that matches your collection.
What we stand for
One-year guarantee, no questions. Every product is backed for a full year. If yours arrives damaged or breaks in normal use, send us a photo and we replace it. You don't pay for shipping, and you don't need to send the broken piece back. That's the guarantee.
Free US shipping on orders $80 and over. We ship from our Lafayette studio to the lower 48 states. Orders $80+ ship free; smaller orders get a flat rate. Unpainted products usually leave our door within 24 hours of your order. Hand-painted pieces take longer — typically up to a week — because they're done by hand, one at a time.
Custom orders. Don't see the exact character or build you're looking for? We take custom orders for one-off statues and miniatures. Reach out with a reference image or a description and we'll tell you what's possible and what it costs.
Where the artists come from
Our sculpts come from a small roster of Patreon artists — people who make original, highly detailed character designs as a full-time creative practice. When you buy one of their characters from Noble Nerds, you're supporting that work directly. We keep a list of our partner artists on the product pages and we encourage you to follow them on their own channels. The more visibility their work gets, the more of it we can bring to the store.
