Intro for the Dudley’s Scale Model Car’s Story Page
Some journeys don’t start with a plan. They start with survival, rebuilding, and trying again when life knocks everything down. Dudley’s Scale Model Car’s wasn’t born in a studio or a workshop it began in the corner of a spare room, with an old laptop, a phone, and a need to feel human again.
Before the shed, before the Hub, before the shop, there was Twitch, gaming, long nights, family responsibilities, loss, and a restart that came from the lowest point of my life. This page is the full story — how I went from BountyHunterGamers in 2010, to Dudley’s TTV, to finding model cars in 2021, and building everything from the ground up.
This isn’t a story about going viral. It’s a story about rebuilding. About learning by doing. About turning a hobby into a lifeline, and a lifeline into a brand.
This is how Dudley’s Scale Model Car’s began one step, one build, one video at a time.
Dudley’s Scale Model Car’s — The Story
Before model cars, before the shed, before the Hub… my journey started long before 2021.
2010 – The First Stream
Back in 2010, I started streaming on Twitch under the name BountyHunterGamers. It was simple gaming, chatting, learning how to be on camera. Years later, the channel returned as Dudley’s TTV, still gaming, still streaming, still building a small community.
2018 – When Life Changed
In 2018, everything shifted. My mum became very unwell and eventually bedbound. My family had to step up, and I was working nights at the time. We all helped in our own ways, but the pressure built up. By early 2019, I hit a breaking point. I wasn’t coping, ended up in hospital, and when I came out, there was no support. Then November 2019 hit I lost my mum, my best friend, my job, and my home.
Streaming stopped. Life stopped. I stepped away completely.
2020 – Quiet in the Background
2020 wasn’t creation. It wasn’t streaming. It was survival.
I lived in a spare room with almost nothing — a phone, an old laptop with a broken battery, a few clothes, and the bed I’d left at my dad’s years before.
But something inside me wasn’t ready to give up.
End of 2020 – The Return
At the end of 2020, I created a YouTube channel called Dudley’s TTV and told everyone on Twitch I was moving to YouTube. When 2021 began, the channel already had around 70 subscribers. I didn’t watch numbers. I didn’t care about views. I just uploaded old Twitch streams and did morning livestreams.
By the time I posted my first proper video of the new year, the channel had grown to around 90 subscribers.
Mid‑2021 – The Turning Point
While we were looking for a new house, something happened that changed everything.
I found scale model cars.
My dad bought me a starter kit. He gave me his cutters. I used the hobby knife my mum left behind. I streamed myself building the model for the first time — and something clicked. For the first time in years, I felt good.
I told everyone watching I was deleting the channel and starting fresh.
A new name. A new identity. A new beginning.
Dudley’s Scale Model Car’s.
That was the real start.
End of 2021 – Moving House
We moved home at the end of 2021. I had no videos ready. I had to stop recording. Everything I owned fit into my car — and that says everything.
I set up in my new room with the same old desk, the same laptop, the same phone, the same tablet. No upgrades. Just determination.
2022 – Learning the Craft
I learned by doing. Cutters. Hobby knife. Sanding. Paint. Mistakes. My first two models were hand‑painted and sold to family — not for profit, but for confidence.
Then I upgraded to spray cans. Everything changed.
2023 – Growth
Around 500 people from my old channel followed me to the new one. We moved home again – me and my dad. I upgraded to a slightly bigger desk and my dad’s old desktop. My builds improved. My videos improved. My confidence improved.
Mid‑2023 – The First Shed
I moved into the shed that came with the house. It wasn’t safe at first, so I fixed it up and grew into it. It became my first real workspace.
2024 – The Garage Era & Handmade Shop
In 2024, I moved into the garage. This is when Dudley’s Handmade Shop started.
Before that, I sold the models I built. But in 2024, I started selling handmade cards, custom builds, and creative items. We wanted to turn the garage into a proper room, but it wasn’t safe and would’ve cost too much.
So I worked with what I had like always.
2025 – The Big Year
2025 changed everything.
I got a new shed at the start of the year. Built it. Moved in around May. Named it Dudley’s Hub HQ. Put it on Google Maps. Built my website Dudley’s Hub. Connected everything across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
The shed became my home base. My workspace. My studio. My brand.
I started custom paint work. Got 3D printers. Learned scanning. Experimented with new ideas. Found my style.
And then I hit 900 subscribers.
People started asking me to 3D print things for them. For the first time, people came to me because they trusted my work.
2026 – Growing Into the Hub
I grew into the shed until 2026. Upgraded my cameras. Upgraded my lights. Upgraded my whole system. And kept building the Hub, one step at a time.
Today, on Dudley’s Scale Model Car’s, I’m working toward my biggest milestone yet – 1,000 subscribers. Right now, I’m at 980.
This Is the Journey
From Twitch in 2010… To Dudley’s TTV… To YouTube… To model cars… To moving house… To the first shed… To the garage… To the new shed… To Dudley’s Hub HQ… To the shop… To the community… To the creator I am today.
This is the story of how it all happened one step, one build, one video at a time.

Where It’s Going Next
Dudley’s Scale Model Car’s isn’t finished it’s still growing, still changing, still becoming what it’s meant to be. Every year has taken me somewhere new: from a spare room, to a shed, to a garage, to Dudley’s Hub HQ. And now I’m building toward the next chapter.
The goal right now is simple: reach 1,000 subscribers and unlock the next stage of the channel. I’m close sitting at 980 and when that moment comes, everything steps forward again.
What’s coming next?
Bigger builds – more detail, more custom work, more ambitious projects.
More 3D printing – custom parts, custom bodies, and new ideas that weren’t possible before.
Better videos – new cameras, new lighting, new angles, and a cleaner workflow inside the Hub.
A stronger community – more updates, more behind‑the‑scenes, more ways for people to be part of the journey.
A brand that keeps evolving – slow, honest growth, built the same way everything else has been: one step at a time.
I’m not trying to be the biggest creator. I’m trying to build something real something that lasts, something that grows with the people who care about it.
This story isn’t finished. It’s just moving into its next chapter.
