How long does it take to make a model?It takes us about a week for us to build a typical order of a Standard and Enhanced Kit. Please allow a little more time for larger orders and customising. Building the models and their individual components is a rewarding, yet time-consuming process. As example: The fire shapes need to be moulded and allowed to set before being hand-painted. The semi-trailer / road train is one of the more intricate items with 20 separate pieces involved.
