A Nice Introduction to the Subject

For many modelers, taking the step from a kit model to kitbashing a kit is a big one. It can also be traumatic. These kits are not cheap and the idea of chopping one or more of them up to make something not covered by instructions is hard the first time. It is also worthwhile. This book is a nice introduction on the process. The approach is simple. Several projects are presented and the reader is instructed on specific steps to take in order to make something entirely new. Some of the projects are simpler than other ones but the ideas build upon each other. Much of this book is dated. It uses specific examples using specific kits from manufacturers. Some of the kits may not be available anymore but the ideas are easily transferable. Also, many of the kits featured are staples that have been around for a long time.
