My first ever attempt at a kitbash! Meant to be a Judiciar. I have more chaplain bits and a robe to add, but didn't want to waste them if the model is no good. Thoughts? 

Strange question, I know. Does anyone have any experience in reinforcing or hardening very friable materials for use in kitbashing, like insect carapaces?

I would like to make a kitbash that involves parts of empty cicada shells, but they’re extremely delicate.

Making cicada shells durable enough for modelling

GW skulls, shell from the ocean. 
Wire armature, Greenstuff and Milliput mixed for sculpting.
Corkboard on base.
GW and Vallejo paints.

UPDATE

Half the fun of scratch building and kitbashing is finding neat parts for your builds. Share that model kit you bought, the weird item you found in a thrift store, or the part you ripped from some dead electronics.

How would I go about putting this on a 40 mm base?

I kitbashed a goblin curse spitter for an upcoming dnd encounter. Swipe to see the bits I used!

Two more scratch mechs I rolled up and modeled for Flames of Orion. No names for them yet. Suggestions welcome.

Deathwatch Grey Knight Justicar in Artificer-Tactical Dreadnought Armor

Hi, im looking for some good cyborg kit. Or full robot, in 28mm ideally. I like to build some warband for fun, and I'd like to make some Sci-Fi. Just GW kit are expensive, and I dont have a lot of money for the hobby, so I choose the sprue I invest in carefully.
For now, except some adeptus mechanicus, it's hard to find some good cyborg parts. And their kit dont seems to have a lot of option beside some spare arms and maybe head.

Does anyone have recommendation ?

Been going hard at modeling for the entire year, I’ll show some of my newer creations later on today. I was in the middle of making a ship for a 3.75” Star Wars figure when I was like, yea I’m too exhausted to do this at the moment. The figure is not happy with me!

The Poorhammer road to make a full Warhammer 40k tournament army for less than 20 dollars using only free stuff like cereal boxes and milk jug lids and sticks and paper clips and leftovers from my bits box continues…

Big update today, three more killa kans and two more koptas.  Now just need to assemble eight more koptas and a Mek Gun and the army will be fully built.  Six weeks to LVO.  We’re in the home stretch now!  

I’ve got my ticket to the Las Vegas Open, and I’ve finalized my list that I’ll be taking.  We’ve got just a few more weeks until the tournament, here’s how progress is going:

Display board (built and painted)
2 Deffkilla Wartrikes (built and painted)
Warboss on Squigasaur (built and painted)
8 Squighog Riders (built and painted)
12 Warbikes (built and painted)
11 Gretchin (built and painted)
2 Kustom Boosta Blastas (built and painted)
Boomdakka Snazzwagon (built and painted)
Shokkjump Dragsta (built and painted)
3 Mek Guns (two built)
6 Killa Kans (five built, two painted)
12 koptas (four built)

What would it have cost to buy the official versions of the models in this army:  $1345.00
Total money I actually spent since the start of this challenge:  $10.33

3 Mek Guns
4 Kans
10 Koptas

Only painted deff dredd gets wasted


Grot Airship made entirely out of trash, no 40k bitz used in this zero-dollar build to celebrate Orktober.

I received a gentleman’s challenge from Tylor Smith to build an ork vehicle without using any bits from my bits box whatsoever.  I would only be allowed to use free stuff from my junk drawer and backyard, a true zero-dollar build that anyone could make for themselves even if they didn’t have an extensive bitz-box.

Here she is in all of her orky glory!

This is something anyone can build with leftover stuff from their junk drawer, a true PoorHammer Zero-Dollar build, and it was an absolute blast to make!!!  I had so much fun and I want to thank Tylor Smith for challenging me, I learned a lot of new techniques, and it stretched my imagination and innovation of what can be accomplished from very simple materials.  :)

I want to make this version of my boy Bail Sharr come to life, I know there is some discrepancies about his armor and stuff in this image but I like how it looks. 

I have a full Mk III minis coming in as the main body (2023 version) and I’m gonna mod it for sure. I’m wondering if there is anything already close to his chest, legs(waist/crotch), and Axe out in the Wild. 

I’m considering making his axe myself, I probably could but would like to make it somewhat easier on myself lol 
But I think the leg and chest might be a little more difficult. 
Please help!

RES Recommended, PC Preferred as you can hit that "show images" when you want to see more pics in the comments.

A place to show off your kitbashed models, miniatures or anything similar.

Rules are loose on what you can post. A "Kitbash" is the combination of multiple models combined with parts to create a unique model. That is what this subreddit is about. Still, posting completely custom made models is allowed, along with anything you might think could or would inspire others in their own projects. Not all that is posted qualifies as Kitbash, if it doesnt then it should inspire Kitbashing.
