Kitbashing?

[nkp_174]

That is a good question. I think of kitbashing as when I take one thing and turn it into something completely different...turning an HO boxcar into an HOn3 boxcar...or turning a 2-8-0 into a 4-6-0. Scratch building is when you create a 4-6-0 without the 2-8-0. I tend to think that there will always be posts of kitbashing in both scratching building and the scale, as well as minor modification posts in the scratch building forum. I think serious kitbashing ought to be funneled into the scratch building forum (especially since most scratch builders use commercial details) while minor "kitbashing", or redetailing/modification as I think of it, ought to be in that scale's area.
