Scratch Built: Vol 5 Airships & Antigravity: The Art of Creative Model Making on the Fly

By Gaven Ferguson

Scratch Built, Kit Bashing, Scrap Build. All these terms reference the art of creating something from items that were not meant to be used for the purpose that they have been. Someone has seen beyond the obvious and created a vision of what was in their mind. In essence, they have brought to life their creation. Whether it is using plastic scrap from the kitchen bin, or pieces of a purchased model, the artists have been able to create something that was not meant to be there, and so we use the term SCRATCH BUILT to cover all these possible combinations of creative talent. This volume is all about Airships & Antigravity vessels, and are the quintessential definition of Scratch built models, with all their creativity and imagination combined. Many of these are inspired by famous artists and designers, yet still many are the imagination straight out of the artists own thoughts and fantasy landscapes. The world of creativity is truly represented in these pages and we are all privileged to share such imaginative designs. Some models will have a place in our hearts as we relive movie magic from yesteryear and still others will teleport us to worlds of apocalyptic futures and fantastical landscapes. Each one having a story that drags us into its world. Yes, not all artists are professionals, and to be honest, that's the point. The Scratch-Built Series is not just about professional model makers or creators. It is about everyone involved in the hobby, having a go, reaching out to find the creative designer inside and then sharing their design with the world.
