What Is Custom Model Building?
There seem to be a lot of people out there that like to go out and pick one of those model kits that they like and simply build it and stick it on their shelf but are there many people out there that have all kinds of parts and build them to their liking? Well of course there are and this is what is known as custom model building.
Where Does This Occur?
It would seem that most of this occurs in the film industry and this is because they need model kits for all kinds of things and the problem is you cannot simply go out to a store and buy the kind of thing that they are after. Movies would be pretty stupid if they used pre made model kits and this is because you would have a lot of movies featuring the same kinds of models!!
A film company will often get the best people in to do this and they will create perfect scale models from parts from all kinds of different model kits. Helicopters are created with RC helicopters and the same goes for things like RC aircraft. Of course with many of the older films you can actually see that the models are fake but with better technology being put into the making and the filming of scenes with models in them it is very hard to tell nowadays.
There are of course people that do this kind of thing for a bit of fun and this is a great idea. The best examples of these actually come from Hornby train sets and things like this because people build up the sets to go around the track and some of these really do look fantastic.
There are people that collect much of same thing to build up a collection like the video at the top of the post!
