As the current conflict unfolds hobbyists have been asking about buying minis from Ukraine and how to help out- here’s how you can.
This isn’t all the miniature companies out there, just what we’ve seen so far. So, if you’ve been wondering about buying miniatures from the region, grabbing STLs, or just helping out, check out the status from the companies themselves.

Friends! The situation is this – Paypal prohibits the receipt of donats in any form. We understand the reason – now there are a lot of scammers who want to get rich on the misfortune of our people, so all areas of trade and withdrawal of funds will be reinsured.
We already have an idea for a miniature that we want to mold to immortalize the heroic deeds of our army and the courage of our people. But at the moment, our concept artists are not able to draw anything, and we still cannot sit down for 3D. But as soon as such an opportunity arises, we will immediately begin to create this model.
For now, we offer you to buy digital goods from our website. These are ready-made STL and ZTL files that can be sent for 3D printing, or opened in Zbrush version 22 or higher.
Everyone who makes this purchase will be able to receive the STL commemorative model after we can make it, absolutely free. Those who buy digital goods worth $50 or more, after our victory, will be able to receive a physical copy of this model. It may take a long time, but we will fulfill all our obligations to you and to those who placed orders before the war and we did not have time to send the parcels.
All the money raised will go to help our friends and family, as well as to help specific people who are in the Territorial Defense units in our hometowns.

Defence Kitty: $10
This is both badass and cute at the same time, so just a super sweet STL. Since this is their project, we’ll let them tell you more about it:
This is the Defence Kitty – she personifies all the girls of Ukraine who took up arms and defend our country. 29mm to the eyes, 32mm base.
They also say they will help you with the file if you have any issues, just shoot them a message on their socials. This isn’t the only STL they have either!
Sirko Warrior STL: $10
This is just another really cool STL with tons of flavor and could be used in a ton of games. This would actually make for a super cool Guard alternative leader. Who knows what types of humanoids will be in the future!
This miniature is dedicated to a specific person – our friend and wonderful sculptor @derbilovanton . Take care of yourself buddy!
Tortuga Bay
They have a new list of digital goods that you can purchase to help them through this time. You will be grabbing some artwork for your purchase and it will go directly to them. Obviously, with the post as it is right now, they can’t ship you anything out.
So this is a good middle ground to buy something from them to help support their situation, without worrying about the shipping.
This is just a sample of what types of art you can purchase from them. They have products all the way from 5$ up to $200. Click here to check out all the STL files and support them by buying miniatures from Ukraine.
Tortuga Bay also has a Patreon page if you prefer to support them in that manner.

Art From Pavel Logvinov Their 3D Modeler:
If you want to support them, go check out his Fiverr and get some amazing art! Here’s what the team from Tortuga had to say about grabbing the art:
Dear friends, if you have the opportunity and desire to order an illustration from the leading artist and 3d modeler of Tortuga By Studio – Pavel Logvinov, we invite you to do so. It was under his leadership and with direct participation that most of our 3D sculptures were created. At the moment, Pavel leads that part of our team that left the city of Zaporozhye. He, like me, helps our colleagues, tries to provide the guys with work and help girls with small children and settle down in a new city. People have lost their jobs and their homes and are trying to improve their lives in the new conditions.
Signum Games
Obviously, with the post closed, they can’t send things right now but you can still check them out and see how to help!
MiniArt Models
Dear all, our country is in hell. But we are strong and we will win! Слава Україні! Glory to Ukraine!!! If you want to help – here is the person who we know personally, he is in Kyiv – they created the civil Defense forces and do everything they can.

Victoria Miniatures
Like people all over the World, I have been distressed and heartbroken by the terrible events unfolding in Ukraine and the suffering playing out daily on our screens. I am seeking to raise funds for the UNICEF Ukraine Emergency Appeal.
Many of you will remember the Victoria Miniatures Australian Bushfire fundraiser from 1999, which I set up in response to the horrors unfolding on my doorstep. The incredible efforts made by Vic Minis supporters all over the World, resulted in $30,000 AUD being donated to the Australia RSPCA, to help wildlife, pets, and livestock impacted by the fires.
I am calling again on this wonderful Hobby community. I am offering an Exclusive Miniature ‘Kateryna and Sergiy’, Sculpted by Patrick Keith. They are available as a .STL download, and as a fine resin kit, cast by our friends at Trenchworx. I would be thrilled if you could participate in any way you can. This may be by purchasing the Miniature, making your own charity donation, or simply by helping spread the word. Let’s do this!
Thank you,
Victoria Lamb.
