Scratch Built, Kit Bashing, Scrap Build. All these terms reference the art of creating something from items that were not meant to be used for the purpose that they have been. Someone has seen beyond the obvious and created a vision of what was in their mind. In essence, they have brought to life their creation.

Whether it is using plastic scrap from the kitchen bin, or pieces of a purchased model, the artists have been able to create something that was not meant to be there, and so we use the term SCRATCH BUILT to cover all these possible combinations of creative talent.
This volume is for Robots & MechA, and while some may say certain models do not quite fit into the technical term of the title of the book, we like to think that they do from a creative perspective.

Not all artists are professionals, and to be honest, that's the point. The Scratch-Built Series is not just about professional model makers or creators. It is about everyone involved in the hobby, having a go, reaching out to find the creative designer inside and then sharing their design with the world.
Come on a journey with us and see what people have created. Like us, I am sure you will be amazed and intrigued.
