I have built a number of ship models, and all of them have been from scratch, using published plans or plans I developed myself after some research. I have never built a model from a kit. I am curious about how many modelers on this forum started out with kits and moved to scratch modeling, how many started building from scratch as I did, and how many modelers do both, perhaps in the form of serious kit-bashing. From the gallery of finished models, the results are extraordinary regardless of the method and approach, so perhaps my question is really irrelevant. But if anyone wishes to share their modeling approach, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
