semantics? I'm in!
Kitbashing is a type of activity that exists under the umbrella of customizing. If it's not the factory-released version then it's a custom...whether painted, sculpted, chopped, glued or not. Kitbashes are just (generally speaking) the easiest to do. They take less dexterity than painting or sculpting so the practice is poo-pooed by some. But if you think about it, kitbashing is usually at the base of most customs. It is the foundation, and paint and sculpting just build onto it. Ultimately, we're really just arguing about the depth of customization. And, for the record, applying a wash on a factory figure takes less skill/planning/creativity than a clever-but-unpainted kitbash. To elevate the wash over the kitbash by merit of paint alone is arbitrary silliness. |

Zap is right. Any modification to a factory release figure/vehicle is a custom. Hell, the first ME custom I did was take the handle off the ROC night Raven and BOOM!!! You have a custom vehicle.
