There have been some questions raised recently about where our model builders have gone... And it's true, I am guilty of not having shown anything I've done for quite some time! Well, between that, and seeing the handiwork of Dick (absnut), I decided it was high time to get my rear in gear and output something!

It took me roughly 10 hours to complete this kit.
1 hour was spent cutting the pieces from the wood and cleaning up the edges
4 hours was spend organizing the pieces into paint colors, actually painting them, and gluing 2 parts together (I went to bed after this)![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
