Jim Parker's miniature worlds are products of "kitbashing." (You may click on the play button next to a bold faced term to hear Jim explain it himself).

KitBashing: Starting to create models from a specific kit, but then deviating from the plans included to create exactly what you want.

Kit-Detailing: Following the plans in a model kit, but adding hardware or other embellishments to the model as a personal touch.

Scratch Building: Creating miniatures with raw materials like balsa wood without a store-bought kit or plans.
