Kit bashing is when you take two or more model kits to make something unique to you.
This may include parts that you already have in your spares box as well.
Another way of explaining it: kit bashing is the art of creating something else out of a kit. Basically you use a kit but do not build it as intended by the manufacturer.
An example of this might be taking two building kits and adding parts of one to create an extension or outbuildings to the other.
You can do the same with vehicles (change the wheels) or figures (add the arm of a figure to the body of another one).
You are only limited by your imagination, so anything goes.
