Don, thanks for your kind comments. Agree that the San Fran was a beautiful ship with all-around armament. How much does it cost in LHS? I got mine from luckymodel's sale for $29.99 -10% (for order over $60) = $26.99 + shipping ($15.45) (w/ other items ordered, this costed $11.24)
Bill, thanks for your kind comments and compliments!. To be more precise, he built the Minsk 1:550 and the San Fran in 3 days (full story on my page). So it might have taken him a day for the Minsk and two days for the San Fran. Even without eating and sleeping, 48 hours is too short for building this ship. For FSM builders, I think they'll need 80 hours or more. I don't know how he managed to do it.
Earlier this year, he built two ships (Bronco's LCS-1 1:350 & Trumpeter's PLAN Ning Bo (Russian Sovremenny Class Destroyer) 1:350 in four days. Read the story and see images in this page:
