In 2020, like so many other families in NYC, my world became much smaller. During those quiet months of the lockdown, looking for a way to connect and stay creative, my son and I picked up a simple model kit and a few bottles of paint.
What started as a way to pass the time quickly turned into a "masterpiece" moment. We discovered that in the process of clipping, sanding, and painting, the outside world fell away. We weren't just building a robot; we were building patience, focus, and a shared bond.
Six years later, that hobby has evolved from a personal passion into a professional studio. We’ve spent years perfecting custom kits and complex dioramas for collectors, but our true calling became clear: passing this "long-lost" craft to the next generation.
Our Story: From a Coffee Table toBrooklyn Buildz
Brooklyn Buildz was founded by Kevin Matamoros a lifelong plamo enthusiast, and commission scale modeler, who wanted to create the kind of workspace he always wished existed – a clean, well-equipped space where hobbyists could escape distractions and focus on their craft. After years of building in his cramped apartment he opened this studio to bring that vision to life for the Brooklyn community."
