Part scratch-building, part kit-bashing, part upcycling. For some inspiring trash bashing, check out the
Trash Bash International group on
Facebook.
Deo Stick - [Deodorant Stick] Many trash bash modelers on YouTube issue challenges to each other to use one trash type in a build. A frequently-issued challenge is to build models exclusively out of “deo sticks.” Turns out, there are a lot of interesting plastic parts inside of deodorant sticks.
