I don't really ever keep track. Building is a recreation after all, and I
don't think recreation should be timed :) Anyway, lemme guesstimate some
building times...
My Classic Space contest entries were pretty straight forward. I played
with some windows and designed some of the moving parts, and then the
entries just came together. I guess each of them took about 3 hours or
less.
After collecting the pictures for my Lamborghini Diablo, I built the front
spoiler (pretty straight-forward), and figured out how I would place the
front wheels in order to have the hood the correct slope, the wheels
steerable, and the wheel-well as small as possible. That probably took
about an hour or two. I went to sleep, got up at noon, and continued
building. I didn't do much besides eat, read LUGNET a bit, and build that
day, so I'll guess I built between 5 and 7 hours. Besides the air intakes
on the bottom, there weren't many more design issues to solve. So in total,
I worked on it for probably
8 +- 3 hours.
On the DeLorean, I spent a really long time working out the way I would
have the wheels fold. The difficulty was having the wheels come out as far
as possible and also fold as high up as possible (ie, so the wheel-wells
wouldn't look incredibly empty) I probably spent at least an hour playing
with different solutions using different wheels and widgets until I came up
with something that worked. The doors also took some time to figure out, as
did the positions of the fiber optic lines. In total, I spent just a little
less time on the DeLorean than on the Diablo.
