In whcih I struggle with production management due to ADHD, leading to chaos and mental overload. To streamline operations, I transitioned data from Google Sheets to Airtable and implemented automated order updates. Oh, and created forms for tracking inventory and production, resulting in improved order management and reduced mental strain, allowing for more creative focus.

Hi there. Name’s Matt. Or Doogs, if you prefer.
Since this is an About page, let’s get straight to it.
I’m 30. Married. Father to an adorable little boy, beautiful baby girl, and four dogs.
During the day, I’m an associate creative director at a social media agency in Austin, TX.
In my free time (such as it is), I write. Or wrote. Or try to write. Historical fiction, mostly. It’s a nice contrast to the digital content and social media strategeriness that I live with every day.
I also get all interested in cars, photography, technology, politics, history, movies, and knitting. Actually, scratch that last. I can barely tie yarn in a knot.
It’s the Little Things
As of this writing, the M24 Chaffee tracks are in a minor state of limbo. They’ve been designed. They’ve been fit-tested to the available Chaffee sprockets. But I’m not ready to call them final until I can verify that they fit the sprockets of the upcoming Tamiya kit (and the Gecko kit for the 1/16…
Friction and Variation
I’ll cut to the chase – I need your help. Or at least your opinion. As the Doogs Studios product line grows, presenting it is becoming more of a challenge. Especially products that are all variations on the same basic thing. Like, oh, six different P-47N wheels… Now that I’m spinning up P-47D wheels, the…

Print vs. Digital
TL;DR: When Doogs Models transitioned to Doogs Studios, I had these visions of selling a ton of STL files, supporting a growing base of modelers and miniaturists with 3D printers at home, and keeping my hands out of the grubby fulfillment game. LOL. Those visions quickly came face to face with reality. And reality isn’t…
New Release: Jeep Wheel Sets for Meng
Five new Jeep wheel sets designed to fit Meng’s 1/35 kits. Choose between combat and civilian wheels, and fresh and worn tread. All sets feature weighted wheels, a spare, and separate spare mount.
Why is My Order Wrapped in an HEB Bag?
I’m a big fan of recycling cushioning materials where it makes sense. Brown packaging paper? Bubble wrap? Those weird inflated bag things Amazon loves to use? I’m an equal opportunity recycler. If a padded something fits the shape I need, it’s getting used. Well, except for foam peanuts. I’ll never inflict those on y’all. Lately…
Upcoming Shows and In-Person Pickup
January is looming, and that means its show season here in central Texas. I’ll be at both Modelfiesta (1/3/2026) and Winterblitz (1/23/2026) this year, and if you’re traveling to either of these shows, I’ve setup show pickup options to save you from those pesky shipping fees. Just select SHOW PICKUP at checkout and then let…
‘Dis Array
One of the things I love and hate about Blender is finding some feature somewhere that instantly solves a longstanding issue I’ve been having. Today I want to show y’all the Array Modifier. Making Lots of A Thing In 3D modeling, it’s frequently necessary to make a lot of a thing. In Fusion, I make…
New Releases: Big Stuart / Little Stuart
