kitbash

To create a new scale model using pieces from existing commercial kits.

But, a nicely kitbashed hull and cool interior backlights don't help with the major technical hurdles the robot has yet to overcome.

To create something using existing pieces or components originally sold, distributed, or acquired for other purposes.

This was a very generous way of describing the swarm of cables, kit-bashed thaumatic cores, Noogenic foci and para-technological inverters, all surrounded by an astoundingly complex cognitohazardous sigil and multiple ontological anchors.

A model created by this means.
