    About me

    I was born in 1975 in Rostov-on-Don / Russia and now I`m living there. I get youth artist school and high architectural education and my diploma profession is Interior Designer. I worked more than 10 years with it.

    I live with my wife Natalie and we have a 9 years old daughter Anna.


    It was always my dream to have my own figure line. Since 2005, I sculpted for different companies like TANK and MIG-productions. My own BRAVO-6 project was began in 2008.

    Q: Your earliest modelling moment or the first time you met military models?

    A: I got my first assembly model when I was 8 years old. It was a submarine and was assembled by my Dad. I got great passion and interest for this hobby. I`d like to say that it was in USSR, early 1980th and there were great problems to buy plastic models. Seldom you can met model in toy shops,but only airplanes 1:72 scale -no tanks,vehic les and figures.That`s why all Russian modellers of 1980th began their carriers with airplanes.
