I agree it’s somewhat of a new scenario.
The original designer is the scratch builder for sure, all the appreciation has to go to themImage
The odd bit is when the models become available, if you have a printer you can have a go yourself, but you may not like the orientation of the parts or you want to change the scale, or the parts don’t fit your printer etc etc. I got a 1/16 model of a T35-A from Thingiverse, I printed it & I was so impressed I decided to print one in 1/6 for a laugh.
The beauty is that the scratch build of the designer isn’t a one off like all other scratch builds, it’s just the beginning ImageImageImage
Thanks to all the design hero’s out there xxx

Ok im late to the party. I agree to this the best i think.

Its a tool to help build something that is not available, there is art & skill in the design and then setup how to use the tool.

Don't over analyze this, if you built it, makes you happy then who the Fu%$ cares!

Cheers!

P.S. Close the thread, I think I am getting a brain hemorrhage!
Well said, although maybe I was a bit too late for the party as everyone left already hehe

As someone who has scratch built from styrene sheet/tube/section, then progressed to 3d cad design and print, it is all a creative process and it will be unique. Even the stuff I make and sell is then customised by its new owner to their own satisfaction. Who cares what you call it. At the end of the day unless its an out-of-the-box rtr tank it is a piece of art. Attaching labels like "scratch built" is in my opinion irrelevant. If the builder produces something they enjoy and are proud to own then good for them.

Why?

I'm guessing you forgot you said this. . . .

Well it means no model can be scratch built ,most use standard gearboxes and electrics,others use bought wheels and tracks. If you have made it from nothing other than plastic sheet or on a roll for a 3d printer,even if you use standard bought items tracks wheels electrics it is scratch built in my opinion

Did you scratch build the fruit and bowel too? Impressed, but surely you have to press more than one button??
