Read full description

Kitbasher is the all-in-one companion for scale modelers — track your builds, manage your stash, organize your paints and tools, and connect with a community of fellow kitbashers. WORKBENCH & BUILD LOGS Create a project for every kit you're building. Log your progress with photos, add Builder's Notes (build duration, what you enjoyed, what you'd improve, what you learned), and list the paints you used. Export any build log as a shareable PDF when you're done. STASH TRACKING Keep track of every kit you own, from just-purchased to still-in-the-box. Never lose track of what's waiting on the shelf, and know exactly what you already have before buying another kit. DISPLAY CABINET Show off your finished builds in a virtual display cabinet. Organize and showcase completed models the way you'd arrange them on a real shelf. TOOLBOX Track your paints, tools, and custom mixes in one place. Log paint brand, color, and finish, browse a shared global database of common products, and keep a wishlist of what to pick up next. COMMUNITY FEED Follow other builders, share progress on your projects, and get inspired by builds from modelers around the world. GROUP BUILDS Create or join group builds with friends or clubs. Track phase transitions, get judging reminders, and build alongside others working toward the same theme or deadline. MARKETPLACE List kits, tools, or finished builds for sale directly to the community. Whether you're building your first kit or you're a seasoned modeler with a stash of hundreds, Kitbasher helps you track your progress, organize your workshop, and connect with the hobby community — all in one app. Terms of Use (EULA): This app uses Apple's standard End User License Agreement, available at https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
