About a month or so I guess...
Actually ... I started to build the Lotus begin august but... I had it in my shelve since 1994 when I inherated it from a deceased friend who had started the painting of the body. I tried to spray a layer on top of my friend's work, but that didn't work out. So I had to strip all the paint and start over again, which I did. From there on I worked almost all month of august to reach completion today.
I described my first steps on this model in
this topic, but I started a new one after a while, because I was going kinda off-topic in the first one.
