Frequently Asked Questions

The sculptures

What exactly is a Just An Era piece?

A collectible automotive design object: an 80s silhouette under a sculpted drape, digitally modelled, resin-printed and hand-finished. It is a sculpture, not a scale model or a toy.

What is it made of?

Solid cured resin, sanded and primed, then painted and lacquered by hand. The drape is matte, the exposed body high-gloss.

How big are they?

Three sizes: Small around 12 cm, Medium around 19 cm, Large around 30 cm. Each product page lists the exact length and weight per size.

Is each one really unique?

Yes. Every piece is individually numbered on an engraved plaque and comes with a hand-signed certificate. Small variations are the mark of hand-finishing.

Are these official or licensed models?

No. Each piece is an original sculptural reinterpretation of a silhouette, not a scale replica. Just An Era is not licensed by or affiliated with any car manufacturer.

Does it come with a base?

No plinth. Each piece is designed to sit directly on a shelf, a desk or any flat surface.

Ordering

How do I order?

Choose a piece and a size, add to cart and check out. Because everything is made individually, production begins once your order is placed.

What does "made individually" mean?

Each piece is produced for you after you order, not pulled from a shelf. This is why there is a short wait and why nothing shows a fake "only 2 left" countdown.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Yes, within 48 hours of ordering, before finishing begins. Write to the studio and we will adjust the size or cancel for a full refund.

Do you restock or sell out?

Catalogue pieces are always available to order. A model only shows as unavailable if it is intentionally withdrawn.

Production

How long until my piece is made?

Production takes about two to four weeks. You will get an estimate at checkout and an update when your piece is on its way.

Where are they made?

Every piece is sculpted, printed and finished by one pair of hands in France.

Why do pieces vary slightly?

Because they are finished by hand. Tiny differences in drape and surface are expected, and are part of owning a made object rather than a mass-produced one.

Shipping & damage

Where do you ship and how much?

Worldwide, tracked and insured. Shipping is calculated at checkout by weight and destination: France €12–35, European Union €25–75, rest of the world from €45. Free in France over €250. EU delivery is typically two to four days after dispatch.

Will I pay customs duties?

Within the European Union, no customs duties apply. Outside the EU (United States, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Japan and others), import duties and taxes are not included in the price or the shipping cost. They are set by your country and usually collected by the carrier on delivery.

This now applies to the United States too, whatever the order value.

How is it packaged?

In protective foam inside a rigid box, with the signed certificate and a care card. It is built to arrive safely and to store the piece when not displayed.

It arrived damaged. What now?

Email a photo within 7 days of delivery. Because shipping is insured, we will repair or remake and resend at no cost to you.

Care

How do I clean it?

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid solvents and household cleaners, which can dull the lacquer.

Will the paint fade?

Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight. As with any painted object, strong UV over years can affect colour, so a shelf away from a bright window is ideal.

How should I display it?

On a flat, stable surface, held by the body rather than the drape edge. A shelf, a desk or a cabinet all work. The resin is solid but rigid, so avoid drops.
