JJ Model Making builds, prints and paints high quality scale models
While I have been making scale models since I was about 7 years old I started sharing my work first on YouTube, creating scale model naval warships like aircraft carriers and battleships. Fast forward to the start of the COVID-19 lockdown I moved over to Star Trek models and sharing my model making journey on Instagram. For Christmas 2020 I received my first 3D printer which opened up a whole new world of possibilities, especially when it comes to the rarer or harder to get model kits. Why spend a fortune on an out of production model kit when you can print your own! I now have a few printers, including a resin one which allows for incredible detail on smaller pieces. What started as a joyous hobby of making models for for our people, and then customers to add to their individual collections, became a growing Etsy business that delivers orders to the world. We know it’s been a hard time for everyone over the past 18 months, the thought that every single product I print and despatch puts a smile on my customers’ faces is an incredible motivator.
Every single Etsy purchase is a big win for small businesses owners like me, and I couldn’t have done it without the support of customers like you. I sincerely hope my products continue to occupy a special place in your hearts and we look forward to seeing more of you soon!
Thanks again and stay safe!
