Varies on a couple of factors: scale, detail, & āhoney-do listā. Iād say 2 weeks for simple builds up to a few months for larger, more sophisticated builds.
Ahhh, now I understand the 6 months of rigging!
Looks amazing.

Months for just one 1/48 plane! Though Iāve come to the realization that Iām too much of a perfectionnist, alas without the actual skill. Which means I see mistakes, fixate on them, do worse, fixate on the worse, and here goes the vicious circle.
In August I did my Messerschmitt in just a month. Full dedication, no distractions at all.
The il-2 has been on the bench ever since then. Iāve just only sprayed the gloss coat for the decals. I want to get it done before Christmas and leave for the holidays with a clear mind. Want to build a base ( first time ), it will wait for 2026 for now.
As for the boats, well, years, I guess, lol. Nah thatās not fair, I canāt count the 30years gap during which the model sat idle in a closet. I have limited access though and am learning by myself, so itās slow. Sloooooow.
Now mind you thatās considering the time to build a model is the time between unpacking and declaring it done. Itās a few hours here and there, which I canāt really countā¦
