The creation of a wooden figurine combines three stages: history, graphics and manufacturing.
​
A historical research on the uniforms of the First Empire is previously carried out. It attests to the authenticity of the uniforms that we reproduce.
​
The graphic line will define the aesthetic link between the figurines.
The character must arouse sympathy without compromising the authenticity of the uniform. This objective is facilitated by the multiplicity of colors present on the outfits of the First Empire.
​
The manufacturing is done by digital printing on a three millimeter thick wooden plate.
The wood used is plywood because natural wood would warp and make the fine cuts brittle.
​
Digital printing uses water-based inks that dry instantly by ultraviolet. The process reduces toxic fumes and ensures visual quality, color stability over time and ink resistance to friction.
​
​The figurine is finally cut by a laser beam, a technique that allows precise cutting and meticulous openwork.
