Curious how long it took to get it all laid out to cut.
And how long to color and assemble.

People would never pay for the time to do something like this, so it would have to be a personal thing or an act of love.

I used Adobe Illustrator (which Iā€™m not that proficient with) and would guess it took me 4-6 hours - ā€œoff and onā€ - to draw.

Painting (I actually used stain) maybe an hour not counting the time to dry between tints.

Assembly (glueing ) goes really quick actually. Maybe 5 minutes for the main structure and another 10-15 for all the little trim and platforms. Water wheel about 10 minutes.

The diorama takes me the longest because sometimes you have to wait overnight for different aspects of it too dry. Plus the structure is my favorite part so the diorama always goes slower. :wink:

Definitely not something you would ā€œcharge by the hourā€ for, lol!

But still, the term ā€œpeople will neverā€ is rarely true. There is a market for everything. :slight_smile:
