All told it was 57 days of effort, figure about 5 hours per day. A bit more than a year of calendar time.

At about a total cost of 2k USD at the time - model, tools, paints, etc - that comes to about 7 bucks an hour. Well worth it if youโ€™re looking for a heck of a project.

Iโ€™ll probably wait a bit before tackling something like this again, but super happy with how he turned out.

@mcjwarhammer Well done. Tidy job.
Always nice to finish a large project, a rest well earned.
@DrH Thanks! Definitely feels good to be on to things that have a more well defined end state ๐Ÿ˜…
@mcjwarhammer Congrats! That's a fine piece of metal!
@mcjwarhammer ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰ Incredible job, congratulations on finishing!
