Model build times!

Hi and welcome to Miniature Models blog, I am currently part way through my build of Captain Cooks Endeavour in 1/60 scale and it is a very time consuming and hard model to build.

Most models don’t just come together overnight as you may know, but some take months or even years. A lot of modellers take hours deciding on the right paint colours to use let alone the right brand.

Everything on a model has to be just right even the little features, like car logos like this ford logo that I painted by hand. It took about 20minutes to paint just right.

The time spent on a particular model can also depend on what scale it is and the level of difficulty. It starts from the Snap tite models that are simple snap together models and can be put together in about 1 week and about 2 days paint (working a couple of hours a day).

Then there are models with a number between 1 and 5. These levels depend on how many pieces there are and how big the model is when finished. Smaller models are usually less detailed and easier to build, but the bigger the scale the more pieces you have and the harder it becomes.

I like doing models with more parts and more detail to challenge myself and allow more detail to be done.

This build of Captain Cooks Endeavour is a wooden model and very time consuming, so please be patient while I perfect the building of this model and write my blog posts.
