What's A Garage Kit?

Good question. When you think of the words "garage kit" what do you think of? Personally, when I first read the words I thought about a kit that you use to build your own garage. I soon found out, after a thorough search on Google, that garages kits can be kits used to build steel garages, but the words "garage kit" most commonly refers to hobby kits!

 

Back in the good old days of model building (I say good old days because these days people are more into videogames), people were getting frustrated or bored with the amateur model building kits that the manufacturers were coming up with. There were only so many cars, planes, or boats to build. They were tired of only getting to work with models that were more non-fiction than fiction, too real life and nothing imaginative so they started to create and build their own models!

Garage Kits 

The idea to create and build their own model kits was a good one, but a messy one. With all the saw dust, other dust, paint and other chemical fumes, it became impossible to build these kits in their homes. So, instead if slowly killing off their families, they moved their kit building projects into the garage, hence the name "garage kits".

Garage kits can be as simple or as complex as you choose. They can be a one-piece figure (much building isn't required), or you can get them in a lot of hundreds of pieces. These model kits don't just come in steel or cardboard.
