Mini Us
Posted by tyan (Singapore, Singapore) on 20 June 2007 in Miscellaneous.
Went to have 'mini us' made as a momento for our 3rd anniversary last month,which took 3 weeks to complete. They have this disclaimer that the figurines would look 70% like the real people.What do u think?I say i cant even see any part of me on the figurine.I like the slim face and the straight white teeth though.:)

Hahaha...these are so cute! Love how you framed this picture, by the way. Nice composition!
Okay...on to the commentary about the figurine: You are right...both you and Law are more beautiful in person B-) Although I think they captured both your smiles pretty well. Not enough similarity to be 70%, though. Does that mean if it's less than 70% you can get a refund or get it redone? B-) Congrats again to you and Law! Cheers'nBlessings....
p.s. wrote you an e-mail...need your help B-)

@{H} creatives: thanks for your compliments!ha,too bad no refund.They prob came up with disclaimer to minimise complaints..:p i think its hard to make figurines like that..so will give them some credit for it.
Sure,will try to see how i can help!:)

@Xinyi: we had it made at Compasspoint,top level,this shop called 'Shamrock'.Cost $209 to make the figurines,3 weeks.If you want to add a photoframe behind the figurines,its almost double the price i think,cant rem.Quite steep to me,was quite surprised that geen was willing to spend the money,he is usually quite thrifty.I did not even ask for it!:)

I love the figurines and the idea of making one for anniversary! The male figurine looks more like Lawrence. But your radiant smile is also captured leh. Not bad, can see resemblence!
