ob Brown has always enjoyed working with
models. As a farm boy growing up in the 60s,
Brown spent his spare time snapping plastic parts
out of spue, gluing the miniscule pieces together,
and adding the finishing touches with paint.
Although he admits, "I wouldn't always paint the
models the way they said to paint them."
His creativity at detailing was surfacing already.

by a lifetime of memorabilia.
Each sport elicits unique player movement
and positions. Replicating a particular pose
can prove to be a challenge.

interest in Transformers. "I started going to toy stores looking
for them. at got me into toy collecting. I still have the Hot
Wheels I had as a kid, then I got into action figures. at's
what got me back into models and that's what precipitated
this hobby," says Brown.
