Expand Thank you.i am a slower builder with sudden outbursts..i like to build parts box cars as they offer different challenges than out of the box builds.i also experience the equivelent of "writer's block" from time to time.most kits have quirks imo; innacurate parts,scale issues etc,so kitbashing offers some solutions ..i don't resin cast or scratch build parts from sprue stock etc,i also ramble on a bit..😁.cheers.

From box stock to chopped up rusted out and beyond. I enjoy the challenge of working at such a small scale, and am amazed at level of quality or accuracy some of the builders here can obtain. For me, every build is an opportunity to improve my skills and learn something new. 1
