What's yer limit ?

I'm definitely a sprinter. I will usually during the week, get a few minutes here and there. I really don't want to take time away from my family. But, I could easily be a marathon runner. Back, before marriage and kids, I would get "lost" in a build. I would build all day, even forgetting to eat.

Funny, I used to smoke back then. I remember lighting a cigarette, taking a puff, then get back to work on the kit. Then I would go take another drag, and the cigarette was out. The whole thing burned away in the ash tray. 

I don't usually have more then 30-60 minutes at a time with so much other stuff going on.

For plastic -- about 3-4 hours.  But I mostly work 2 hours at a time. 

For balsa -- I can go all day if I have the time. If im building RC its MUCH larger then anything platsic so I am forced to walk around a lot which keeps me from cramping up. When I work with plastic i'm just sitting in one spot for hours and I get neck aches and such ( only 25 years old, but hey lol).

For airbrushing -- I try to keep it not much longer then 2 hours.  My hands cramps up on the brush.

Hi Chris ;

I guess you could say I am a long distance or cross country marathoner . It takes as much as two years for a Good Model car .Maybe a year and up to three for Ships ( not sailing vessels ). and maybe a year or more for a Plane .

    The reason ? Well , I have commissions so I do model usually six to seven hours a day . Sometimes more . So - I just want to get away from the work area .Then I will look at my models and get the thought , " Hmmm, Maybe I better get this plane farther along in the build or this piece of armor .
