Scratch Builder Monthly is a magazine dedicated to low-budget building of models and terrain.

Projects vary in complexity, the magazine explores a variety of techniques and unique applications of commonly used materials. Each project is also detailed with many pictures and step by step building tutorials.

Many materials used for projects include recycled components or materials purchased from a local dollar store. Builds vary by month, usually a combination of sci-fi or fantasy. The magazine is designed for anyone looking to make their own models with a low budget.

Examples of projects include handmade starships, clay figures, armored vehicles, walkers, folding terrain, and playmats. Handmade models are used by the author in a variety of wargames and RPGs.

Scratch Builder Monthly is now condensed into a single-project issue. Single-project issues are more focused on the theme of the project and include discussions that are related to the project of the month.

In this issue, I show construction of a VTOL aircraft, similar to the Osprey. The craft is part of my mesh armies collection.
