His experience was built over 15 years, with a Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts and a Master Jeweller's Certificate from Europe. Skilled in the art of Jewellery Making, Architectural Models and Master Patterns his experience was gained and honed by working for only the best, including the top design studio in Pretoria, South Africa, where his jewelry pieces adorn the wives of Government Ministers and Ambassadors posted to South Africa.
Always interested in model making from childhood, Pavel was soon branching out to this exciting field. With a passion for creating unique pieces of art, he gained knowledge and experience by making models as a free lance agent. From small to large, sculptures and custom kit builds, there is very little that has not been done.
The company's first model kit's were launched on May 19th, 2007, the Federal German Navy's Hamburg, D 181, 1965 and the Schleswig Holstein, D 182, 1985. They have met with a very good response from the modelling community.
