About the studio

About Heraldic Studio.

Heraldic Studio is a small, independent workshop dedicated to historically informed heraldic transfers for scale modelers. We redraw crests, badges, and insignia from primary sources, then test, fit, and proof every set on real kits before release. The goal is simple: markings that look authentic, apply cleanly, and disappear under a single coat of varnish.

What we make
  • Ultra-thin waterslide transfers that lie flat, with no raised edges.
  • High-resolution artwork with crisp lines and accurate geometry.
  • Durable, flexible film that conforms to complex surfaces without tearing.
How we work

Research comes first.

Each design starts with archival material and trusted references, then is redrawn in vector, checked for proportions, and sized to the specific kit or scale. We test prints, adjust line weight and color, and only ship once we’re confident it performs on the bench — not just on screen.

For modelers, by modelers

We learn a lot from your builds. Share your work, ask questions, and help steer future sheets.
