beutiful rendering. You mentioned it was a consignment piece. May I ask how long it took you start to finish?

Since i was on full time employment at that time i could work on the model only during weekends .So i would say between 6-8 weeks , mostly if only working on weekends.However as you get a bit bored working at the same model all the time i did manage to finish another 2 models that were half started in between that time .In terms of man hours i would estimate to be around 80 possibly more as i had to construct the base/case as well.Since then i have been made redundant (another victim of Gordon's wisdom in England) and i have ALL the time in the world to finish models both for me and my potential clients a lot faster.There is of course the associated burn out so some time off here and there when you built so intensively is a must to keep your sanity.
