Global Database

A community-maintained database of kits, paints, and tools. Add new items, find accurate details, and keep your collection data clean and consistent.

📚

Guides & Tutorials

Stash Tracker

Finally know what's in your stash

Every modeller has the same problem — boxes everywhere, half-remembered kits, duplicates bought by accident. Kitbasher fixes that. Your entire kit collection, searchable and filterable, always with you.

  • Track status: Unbuilt, In Progress, or Complete
  • Filter by brand, scale, and category
  • Add from the global kit database or enter manually
  • See your collection count grow
Stash screen
Workbench & Display Cabinet

Document every build.
Show off the results.

The Workbench is where your projects live — from the moment you crack open the box to the finished model going on the shelf. Post progress updates with photos, track what you're working on, and when it's done, move it to your Display Cabinet for all to see.

  • Create and manage multiple active projects
  • Post build updates with photos and notes
  • Community can like and comment on your progress
  • Display Cabinet showcases your completed builds
  • Enter finished builds into competitions
  • Unlimited simultaneous projects
