i think the longest time it took to build a model was....like a year. But that wasnt like straight workin on it...i had like 2 other models...
plust this model was special ( it was a 2002 Z06 ) my dream car! and i made it so that the headlights popped up and worked and the tail lights worked...and i got a lil horn for it.. and this lil thing that makes a noise like an exhaust... i ended up spending like 120 bucks on a 10 dollar revell monogram car..
ill try and get some pics sometime... when i get my camera fixed

Probably 3 months on my first model, Nissan 300ZX
Now that I force myself to concentrate on one model at a time I get them finished a lot faster :)
