Assignment Guidelines
We will be focusing on "Photo Bashing". Photo bashing, kit bashing, or model bashing is a practice whereby a new scale model is created by taking pieces out of commercial kits. These pieces may be added to a custom project or to another kit. For professional model makers, photo bashing and kit bashing are popular to create concept models for detailing movie special effects. Commercial model kits are a ready source of "detailing", providing any amounts of identical, mass-produced components that can be used to add fine detail to an existing model. Professionals often photo bash and kitbash to build prototype parts which are then recreated with lightweight materials.
