This guy definitely has a loose screw and a cracked coconut from prolonged isolation. This proves that keeping us kids (aherm!) away from the streets would result in permanent insanity. #:-)

Hmn.... super-detailed ba yung kits niya?

Well for those who really don't like it in the streets there's the Internet & the gaming fever to keep them sane LOL

Obviously not. I calculated that if each tank would take him 2 weeks to finish (w/c is the least amount of time for a model to be completed in most cases), it would take him approx. 134.2 years to do all those stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. But of course he can do 2 tanks simultaneously but still take him 67 years to complete, of course that still doesn't include the figures. So most likely he will just have to build a tank in three days to be able to build all of those AFV's in 28 years!!!!!! The figures on the other hand number at 57000 so lets say he does 7 figures per day so that would take him another 22.3 years to complete!!!!!! But it couldn't have taken that long so most probably his stuff are "rushed" into battle kinda like the T-34's in WWII wherein some of them have been sent into battle even though they were still not painted.

Now, why did I ran those figures???

The level of detail on those kits are on "production level" - all kits in the same category are worked all together i.e. - finish all the turrets for the Sherman group then paint them altogether.. Unlike us that we detail each kit as if it was the only kit we have.

Unless he superdetailed those kits, I think he can make 5 kits of the same group in a day. Just look at some kits. There is a weathering pattern.

While everyone is contemplating the amount of time to complete those kits, I'm thinking about the money. If the kit price is an average of +/-US$20....... ... ... ... Whoa!!!

Like what he said in his story, his dad got rich & being the only child (adopted) he's most likely the heir to his father's fortune. Now wouldn't you think this how he got all those kits that he built?

No he can't. Just consider the building time. He still has to remove flash, maybe some seams, excess plastic from cutting the parts, drying time, and don't forget the freakin' roadwheels!!!! :-) :-) :-)

That's $ 70000 mondo w/c is equivalent to Php 3908800 excluding the putty or whatever medium he used to sculpt the figures.
Can anyone here run the figures for the paints he might've used? I just can't estimate the gallons he used.
