Kit Bashing- Creating, and Painting Mechs

Assignment Guidelines- We will be focusing on "Kit Bashing". Kit bashing, or model bashing  is a practice whereby a new scale model is created by taking pieces out of commercial kits. These pieces may be added to a custom project or to another kit. For professional model makers, kitbashing is popular to create concept models for detailing movie special effects. Commercial model kits are a ready source of "detailing", providing any amounts of identical, mass-produced components that can be used to add fine detail to an existing model. Professionals often kitbash to build prototype parts which are then recreated with lightweight materials.

DONT MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A PHOTO!! Use paint blending techniques.

We will be combining parts of multiple photos together, using adjustments of hue, saturation,color, and levels adjustment, while painting on top of  photos creating blending techniques that will help aide is in developing mech robots from our imagination.

For those of you that have not had basic drawing,
here are some silhouettes that you can use.
