    literally! This month’s creative challenge is to build a mini scene or detail using ONLY leftover parts from your bits box, junk drawer, or previous projects.

    The rules?
    ✅ No buying anything new
    ✅ Use whatever scale you prefer
    ✅ Bonus points for clever repurposing (old sprues as scaffolding? Bent wire as piping?)

    Whether you’re making a trackside shack, a cluttered yard, or just a cool little diorama, this is all about thinking outside the (parts) box.

    📸 Share photos of your before (materials) and after (finished piece)
    🛠️ Describe what you used and how you pulled it together
    🎯 No deadline pressure—just join when you can!

    Let’s see how creative we can get with the stuff we almost threw away.
