Miniatures - Casting miniatures - Copying existing miniatures - Laws, licences and legality
Article updated: 2019.11.21
When someone creates a miniature, they have the copyright to the mini, that is, the right to create copies of it. Creating copies without the permission of the copyright owner is illegal.
If a sculptor wants to copy the designs of an existing intellectual property (IP), they need the IP holder's permission to do that. The way you create this copy (recast, 3D print, papercraft) doesn't matter in this regard. Copying the original designs without the licence is illegal. The law protects every design for a number of years. After it has passed, you can use the design to sculpt or print your own model, but you still can't make physical copies of the originals.
I've seen several opinions and question on the internet about the legalities of copying miniatures, so I've collected some of them.
