A tribute to Robert Troch - who passed away on 10/19/2024

This is a tribute to Robert. So much more than just an incredibly gifted, creative and talented artist.
He brought many people together through the kaiju modeling community.
His skills were an inspiration and with his kindness and generosity
he not only shared his art but also his knowledge and passions with others.

I knew of Robert for a long time but only got to finally sit and chat him at G-Fest 2024.
We seemed to have much in common from not only Kaiju modeling, but fitness, animals, music,
and virtually everything we discussed. He instantly seemed like a great person and one I was happy to call a friend!
We parted ways and I had hoped to have more opportunities to chat in the future
His modeling and painting skills were an inspiration as was how he lived his life.
Our deepest condolences to his family and friends.
To see the reaction from the Kaiju Kit builder community and
the impact he had to so many is a testament of how a much of a really great guy this guy was.
With honor and a never to be forgotten legacy
we pay tribute to
Robert Troch.
