Took me ~8 hours total; had I worked straight through, blindness would have
resulted. Would have been done sooner had I not used a wrong shade of
grey early on. Finished the 'hammerhead' in ~2 hours then went to FL for the
Orange Bowl. If you think that shows strength of character, my sister-in-law
got it for me off the Lego website in NOVEMBER, screwed up the shipping, and it
sat in MY attic until X-Mas!!!! Wifey's a stickler for tradition.
It now sits in my office with my UCS TIE Interceptor & X-Wing and assorted
other models. My office is not the best environment for them however.
Discounting the stuffed Dogbert who currently pilots the RBR--some sort of evil
beastie in the air vents is eating all my rubber bands (I'm thinking lack o'
humidity). My technic droids are looking mighty droopy.
