Norwalk ship modeler Robert Bruckshaw thrives in basement studio
Reflector photographer Paul Stafford notes Bruckshaw’s long career turning patient, costly work into admired ship models. A Norwalk veteran who served seven years, he learned blacksmithing woodwork and jewelry as a youth. He values specialized education, laments artists’ low pay, and continues lecturing despite throat cancer.
