The Boys new figure #45/50 Swatto (Eaglemoss scale 1/21, 90mm scale) 3d design, print and paint by me

 

Welcome back to the blog! 

Today, I’m showing you my latest custom 3D printing and miniature painting project from the universe of The Boys: Swatto, the ill-fated member of the 1980s superhero team, Payback!

Since there are no official figures for this niche character, I decided to make my own in 1/21 scale (Eaglemoss scale) to fit perfectly with the rest of my collection. 

Who is Swatto?

Swatto is a minor Supe appearing in Season 3 of the Amazon Prime Video series. 

As a member of Payback led by Soldier Boy, he is a parody of characters like Ant-Man and Wasp. He can sprout insect-like wings and fly, but his arrogance during a 1984 secret mission in Nicaragua gets him blown up by an RPG. 

In the show, he is played by Canadian actor and stuntman Joel Labelle (known for Shadowhunters and X-Men: Apocalypse).

I digitally re-sculpted the entire body from MeshiAi base, using SculptGL, aiming to capture his retro costume and comic-accurate yet live-action proportions.

To get wings realistic, translucent insect look, I downloaded a free STL file from Cults3D and printed the wings separately using clear/transparent resin. 

I painted the entire miniature using a mix of high-quality acrylic colors. I used Italeri for the strong base military green coats, Vallejo for smooth blending and highlights, and Citadel Gold paint for the specific fine details.

Let me know what you think of the final result in the comments!

The Boys new figure #44/50 Kate Dunlap (Eaglemoss scale 1/21, 90mm scale) 3d design, print and paint by me

 

Kate Dunlap is a complex protagonist in Gen V with the powerful ability of mind control through touch.

Initially serving as a loyal friend and empathetic student, her traumatic past eventually drives her toward radicalization. 

By the end of the season, she shifts from a tragic hero to a dangerous, anti-human revolutionary.

The Actress: Maddie PhillipsMaddie Phillips is a talented Canadian actress who portrays Kate Dunlap with incredible emotional depth and nuance. 

Born in 1994, her performance in the The Boys spinoff has solidified her status as a rising star in television.

I showcase a custom STL file I designed and printed using my Anycubic Photon Mono 4. I then brought the model to life by hand-painting it with Italeri and Vallejo acrylic base colors. 

Finally, I applied Vallejo acrylic washes to define the shadows, add depth, and achieve (hope) a professional finish.

She's my custom number 44 of the wave The Boys that will end at number 50. Stay tuned!

The Boys new figure #43/50 Andre Anderson (Eaglemoss scale 1/21, 90mm scale) 3d design, print and paint by me

 

In Gen V, Andre Anderson is a popular student at Godolkin University possessing powerful magnetic manipulation abilities inherited from his father, Polarity. 

Alongside his friends, he uncovers the dark, sinister experiments conducted on young supes within the school's underground facility known as "The Woods." After a climactic showdown against rogue students, Andre ends up wrongfully imprisoned by Vought International, with his story ultimately ending in tragedy due to a degenerative brain illness caused by his own powers.

The character was brilliantly portrayed by British actor Chance Perdomo, who tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident in March 2024. Out of respect for his memory, the show's creators chose not to recast the role, honoring his legacy instead.

I brought this character to life by 3D printing my own custom STL file in 1/21 scale using an Anycubic Photon Mono 7. 

I then hand-painted the model using Vallejo acrylic paints and washes, and a ultra-fine 10/0 brush to capture every possible detail.

The Boys new figure #42/50 Golden Boy (Eaglemoss scale 1/21, 90mm scale) 3d design, print and paint by me

 

If you watch The Boys, you definitely know Grace Mallory—the fierce former CIA Deputy Director and the original founder of the team. 

But do you know the incredible talent behind this powerhouse character?

Here is a quick breakdown of the character and the brilliant actresses who bring her to life.

Grace Mallory is the tactical mastermind behind "The Boys." She originally formed the team to keep Vought and corrupt Supes in check.

Driven by tragedy and vengeance after the Supe Lamplighter killed her grandchildren, she acts as a hardened mentor to Billy Butcher, constantly balancing her hatred for Supes with strategic control.

In the main timeline, Mallory is played by acclaimed American actress Laila Robins. She perfectly captures the weight, sorrow, and unshakeable authority of an older, wiser Grace. 

During the chaotic 1984 Nicaragua flashbacks in Season 3, we meet a younger, ambitious Mallory. She is portrayed by Canadian actress Sarah Swire.

  Here is Grace Mallory played by me:
