There are a lot of people out there that like going to stores and picking out 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?
Well by the looks of things it seems that the industry to use these the most is of course the film industry and this is because they cannot use pre built model kits as it just would not work at all!. 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!!
Film companies will often have the opportunity to have access to all kinds of parts and pieces and it is these that they use to put together the massive models featured in movies. Helicopters are created with RC helicopters and the same goes for things like RC aircraft. It is actually very difficult now to be able to tell what is the difference between CGI, real life and model kits whereas back in the day you could really tell they were all models.
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!
