Dudley's Hub Stokie-made I’m Daniel, Dudley’s Hub HQ family. Shop: www.dudleyshub.co.uk ⚙️✨ I’m a 'Stokie' maker doing things the honest way no AI, no fakes, just real craft.

My name is Daniel Dudley, and I’m proof that you can rebuild your life from a shed. 🛠️
After a major breakdown in 2019, I had to start again from zero. In my 30s, I’ve spent the last 5 years building Dudley’s Hub HQ and Dudley’s Handmade Shop. I live with Learning Difficulties, Dyslexia, and Anxiety but I don't let that stop the work. What I do:

🎨 Dudley’s Handmade Shop: 100% human-made cards created with my Cricut.
⚙️ Duddles 3D: Custom 3D printed parts and commission scale model builds.
📺 Dudley’s Scale Model Cars: My YouTube journey (nearly at 1K subs!) showing the real wins and fails of a maker. I might not be 'famous' yet, but I’ve rebuilt my world one part at a time. Follow the journey: [www.dudleyshub.co.uk]

NEW VIDEO NOW LIVE!

The latest build video is now live on YouTube.

This time I'm building the Hasegawa Mini Cooper S Countryman ALL4, a fantastic kit that definitely tested my patience in places!

From fitting issues to broken clear parts, this build had a few challenges along the way, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out in the end.

Watch the full build here:

Good morning everybody,

I've got some great news!

Another hobby of mine is making a return.

There won't be a new YouTube channel or social media page for it. Instead, everything will live under Dudley's Hub, with artwork being shared on the website and videos uploaded to YouTube as Duddles Speed Art.

Art has always been something I've enjoyed and I'm looking forward to sharing more of it with you in the future.

🎨 Watch the first speed art video here:

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

Good morning everyone,

Welcome back to another end-of-the-month vlog!

This month has been another fairly quiet month, but there's still been plenty going on behind the scenes. Work on Duddles Shop continues, Christmas preparations are underway, and my second in-person market is coming up next month.

Next month's vlog should be a much more exciting one to share, so keep an eye out for that.

Hasegawa Mini Cooper S Countryman ALL4

More and better photos will be coming on Monday, but I wanted to share a quick update.

What a great kit this has been, but what a pain in the backside at times!

Like most model kits, there always seems to be that one stage where nothing wants to fit properly. I test-fitted everything at the start, but I still ran into fitting problems later in the build.

The clear rear window parts broke, some glue overflowed, and then the clear parts didn't want to fit correctly.

But that's model building for you.

Don't give up, keep going, and most of the time it all works out in the end.
Hopefully you're all having more fun with your current builds than I am with this one!

I'd love to see what you're building at the moment, so please feel free to share your latest projects in the comments.

🎁 DUDLEY'S HUB UPDATE 🎁

I'm back with another update on my dad's Christmas and birthday gift.

Today I've been busy sanding and painting more parts. It's still a work in progress, but it's starting to come together nicely.

Projects like this take time, especially when you want to get the details right, but I'm really enjoying the process.
I'll continue sharing updates as I make progress.
Thank you for following the journey and supporting Dudley's Hub.

🏪 A Little Message From Duddles Shop

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to share something that's important to me.

Duddles Shop isn't a big business. It's just me, Daniel, working from Dudley's Hub HQ with:

🖨️ 1 Filament Printer
🖨️ 1 Resin Printer
🏷️ 1 Sticker Printer
✂️ 1 Card Cutter
🎨 And plenty of ideas!

My goal has never been to build a huge printing farm or become a large company.

My goal is to keep Duddles Shop personal.

When you place an order, I want you to know that it was made, packed and prepared by me. I want every customer to receive the same care, attention and personal touch that made me start Duddles Shop in the first place.

That's why every order still includes things like:

💙 A handwritten note
💙 Careful packaging
💙 My over-the-top wrapping

For me, Duddles Shop isn't about becoming the biggest. It's about creating something personal that people enjoy supporting.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

Your Friend,

Daniel Dudley

My name is Daniel Dudley. I've got learning difficulties, but I am here for Dyslexia. For years, I was in disbelief about having it, but I have done lots of things to prove to myself and others that I can do it and that having Dyslexia won't stop me. I've had many jobs, tried living by myself, got a clean and full driving licence, and I own my own brand and shop. Yes, it took me longer to get there, but I have, and I am proud to share my story with you.

Before 2019, I was doing well for myself, but I hit rock bottom because of my mental health. From 2021 to 2025, I grew on the internet as a Scale Model Builder. I rebuilt my life not once but twice, and in 2025 I built Dudley's Hub, which is my brand. In just 2 years, I have got an award. It shows anyone can build a dream.

I didn't let Dyslexia stop me from doing my dreams. I've now got blogs, a book, a shop, and more coming, and we all know that doing blogs and a book itself is hard with Dyslexia, but I am doing it.

The plan of this post is to show someone, or a kid, who has Dyslexia that they can do what they want, dream big, and you can get it.
