Bluto colour palette

Hey dudes. Here is the colour palette for bluto also I spent the day doing another one day paint. I’ll post it up in a min have a good weekend my dudes.

Bluto finished.

Hey dudes. So I know I usually post wips of models but I started bluto yesterday afternoon after I got the edit from today done. And I’ve not stopped working till I got him done. Well, I did go home and sleep a little haha. I’m about to start the edit so I can get it done and get into the next of a massive list of stuff I need to paint because my tisms tell me I need to paint them all lol. Anyway here is the finished model next to Popeye and photos with my new camera. No edits just how th...

Early access gwenpool

Hey my dude pals. Hope everything is going super well. I’ve been up to my eyeballs in video making lately as you may have seen by the amount of videos uploaded lately. I have a stupid folder in my computer called “videos still to make” I used to have a folder like this when I edited on my phone but it gets lost easily compared to the folder staring me in the face on my computer. So I’ve been trying to catch up with my own brain for the last few weeks. I fear it may be. Never ending cy...

Gwen pool colour palette

Hey dudes. Here is the palette for Gwenpool. As always I hope it helps ya loads. Ps I still suck at photos

Thank you.

I just wanted to say thank you for the support. It’s because of you guys that today I make another huge step toward better content, I got a proper camera. Not just my old ass m50 but one that will do some real work for me and for the channel. Just need to get some lenses now and also work out how to use the focus properly lol. But expect a huge jump in quality now. Well at least when I can figure out how to use it lol. 😂 also I secured the vacuum casting machine too so I have some crazy ...

A Smol update from my mouth.

Oh I just realised I didn’t tell you I’m gonna raffle the rogue when she’s painted. 😊

Gwenpool WIP

So I got mega distracted by a customer this morning lol. Dude drove 4 hours to get to the shop I couldn’t be rude and chase him away. Ended up chatting till nearly 4pm and that’s when I managed to get started in today’s work 👀 so I clearly didn’t get very far. It’s 7:30pm and I’m on my way home to get something to eat then to start on the x1 video and hopefully try get to bed before 1am tonight cos I dunno about you but this getting older nonsense seems to be affecting my mood...

Little today update.

Hey dudes. Holy smokes I’ve genuinely not stopped since who knows when at this point. Each time I say I’m gonna chill a bit I get somehow more busy. lol. Anyway. Here’s some progress on Gwen pool from mycustommodels

My ass hurst from sitting on my stool. I need a chair sponsor and a redbull sponsor hahahaha

Hope your weekend is full of sick prints !

Early access

Hey dudes. So I have finally just got done with the video for this week. Obviously I made so much more work for myself last week and I’m not gonna lie but looking at the pile of grey resin at the studio waiting for me to paint. And the folder of “videos still to make” I know it’s gonna be another week of pure panic. I really need to learn how to take it more easy. Seriously feels like I have never slept hahaha 🤣 honestly my brain is still crack squirrel but my body telling me I’...

Next up

Is gonna be Gwenpool from mycustommodels. Thought I’d share the print with you guys. I printed it 100% scale so she’s a decent size. I want to say 1/4 but she looks a bit small so maybe 1/5th? Or she’s just short.. anyway this one’s gonna be sick but tough we got some white suits to deal with. 👀

Sticker and decals

Hey dudes. So as an added extra I’ve put together my page of decals and stickers for you to use on your models if you want. Annoyingly the app I use degrades images so bad when you move them around I haven’t figured out how to stop that yet. But this is what I used so hope it’s good enough for you guys. Worst case you can find most of the stuff online or make it with photoshop if you are so inclined. Have fun making your dad and tag me in posts online please 🙏

Ai trends

Some of you may have seen the trend of people making themselves into a toy on social media. And George tried to get me to make my own but I am not into following trends. And then one day he randomly said why don’t you just make it for real then. That day was on Tuesday this past week. So i basically didn’t sleep all week trying to get this done before the trend is over. I had the man model sculpted by Pablo Ospina from nice x collectibles and I sculpted the accessories and pockets to hold...

Cleaning your airbrush

Hey dudes. So it came to my attention recently that someone I know who has airbrushed for a few years didn’t actually know how to clean the airbrush properly. And it was only after his broke and I gave him an old one that I had laying around which needed cleaning and I saw how he approached it that I decided this has got to be adressed and if he’s doing it wrong then perhaps some of you guys unknowingly are doing it wrong too. Also I’m sure there’s a bunch of you who have this simplis...

Maleficent colour palette

Hey dudes. I’m busy editing an extra video for you guys as we speak I also only left the studio today at 9:30pm cos is was working on something that I’m really excited about and then I hit a road block. So I guess I won’t sleep tonight until I can solve the problem I have and also I can’t tell you what it is until I’ve actually got the solution.

Anyway hope your Easter weekend is going well.

Maleficent

As far as I could get today working on this maleficent from toon studios. I got a really cool thing I hope to get done with by this weekend I think you’ll like it. Or not but you gonna have to wait to see. I’m working through the nights to try get it done in time. And I am sculpting some but also got some help to sculpt other parts !! Oooh weee hope you guys are ready for a great weekend!!

Early access

Hey dudes. I’m sorry this wasn’t any sooner. I actually had the video up for a day or two but I’m literally sprinting like a maniac in the shop at the moment. Printer companies on my case about printer reviews, sculptors about models, packing models that needed shipping, school holidays, replying to emails and comments, my own ideas for videos and I’ve changed to computer so things are taking a bit longer than normal for editing plus the convention at the weekend . All excuses I won�...

Agony colour palette

Here is the colour palette for agony from Nice X collectibles, rather small palette this time round. Super simple model to paint. I’ve been toying with the idea of giving models that I paint a difficulty level rating of some kind. What’s your opinion that?

This is the last of the models I have for sale

Ok I know it took me way longer than it should have but I finally got round to doing the list of what’s left and what I’m prepared to sell.

Let me tell you why I need to sell these last few. I recently bought a laptop to be able to edit properly and I’m sure you’ve all seen the drastic increase in video editing over the last few videos. That’s before I’ve even figured out how to use this stuff yet. I bought that on credit because I can’t afford stuff like that normally. I...

Nidalee colour palette

Hey dudes. So I was at the model convention all day today. Left early this morning and since it’s a small drive away and my wife and I haven’t had a night away from being parents for nearly 18 years we decided to stay over in London. I’m back at the studio tomorrow. I hope all your printers print great successes and your brushes stay sharp.

Smol update.

Video says it all.

New merch!

Hi all!

Firstly, this is not Your Dad speaking but instead, Your Weird Uncle Frankie. I am helping out Your Dad by designing some new merch for him! He left his laptop logged in, so I thought i'd come and talk to his cult followers and offer you the first look at the brand new T-shirt featuring everyone's favorite potty mouthed dolphin! We aim to start producing a few designs so keep your eyes peeled and I will return again soon.

In the meantime, please do check out the shirt and...

Aunt agony

Hey dudes. Here’s a work in progress of agony from nice x collectibles. Video for next week.

I am toying with doing a mad idea that may or may not work and I dunno if I should so if I’m quiet for a few days it’s cos I’d ended up deciding to attempt it. Hahaha don’t wanna spoil it incase I do end up doing it so I won’t say just yet.

Any way. Nidalee video out tomorrow

This came today.

Some of you may have seen or heard of this. Halot x1 not from creality but from a side company called piocreate (I probs spelled that wrong) anyway I’ve done a exposure test I’m gonna throw a big one in tomorrow and see what she produces. Also that vat comes up the build plate doesn’t move at all. The plate doesn’t even lock in plate it just kinda, hangs there

Rhinos colour palette

Hey dudes. It was brought to my attention that I forgot to post rhinos palette. Well, don’t fret I got you. Here it is. Sorry I forgot. Does these palette posts even help you guys?

White rabbit palette

Hey dudes. Here is the palette from white rabbit. Random upload I know but I’m testing some stuff and also trying to get used to my new computer and also using a real camera again.

Hope you guys enjoyed the new video.

Pa yes I know the final shots were out of focus, I’ll work on it hahaha 🤣

I challenged myself.

So there’s a lot wrong with this model (not the model itself but the way I painted it) but I wanted to see if I could get it done before I went home for the day. I also decided I wanted to see this at about 2pm. So I started a timer and my cameras and attacked it with the power of a squirrel on crack. To be honest it looks like I painted it on crack but it will do. The pressure was on because I had to get dinner home to my family tonight too so that meant I couldn’t just hang about longer...

Update

Just a short word from your dad.

Early access

Hey dudes. I am sorry if the past few weeks been a bit confusing. Basically I had three models in the books and I started the wrong one first and without knowing it I Carrie’s on like it didn’t matter turns out I’d promised a date to one of them and I wasn’t gonna meet that date so I ended up having to make one of these last few weeks videos in less than 3 days. Painting and editing (even on the new confusing device)

Well I fixed all that. And I am sorta back on track. Kinda but...

Nidalee is complete.

Hey dudes. Looooong day today. I smashed out this model and boy did it have some mega crazy details. At one point I thought I should give up. This is not for me. How can I possibly be able to do this. And then I put my big boy pants back on and just sucked it up. Managed to get her done today. And I’ll start editing tomorrow. This is next weeks video as this week will be rhino. Which I’ve already got edited and I’ll upload an early access tomorrow.

Hope your painting and printe...
