Paul R Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Those are stunning... How long does it take you to complete one? I know that completing such scale models is second only to micro surgery. I tried one once and was not able to complete it! The pieces were too small for me(or more accurately, I did not have the patience). Edited December 3, 2005 by Paul Reck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hunter Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 About how many hours per kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 Hmmmmmm...........Time?? Well, I never timed myself on a kit. I'm really very much an amature and build almost straight out of the box. I concentrate on cleaning up and maybe a few bits of wire here and there. Sometimes I slap one together over a weekend, and other times it's a little here and there.The KV was a weekend project, and the Panther was built over 6 months. It really just depends on what's going on in the real world.At the moment, I have three completed and awaiting paint. It always takes me longer to paint than anything else. It's just whenever I get to them.If you read Steve's Modeling 101, the bottomless pit is MUCH larger when working in this scale, so I do spend a bit of time on my hands and knees looking for itty bitty parts.
