  just a general survey.
  
  How long do you take to build a NG 1/44, NG 1/100 and a MG Gundam kit? (excluding painting and paneling)

  NG? haven tried one before.
  
  heard from most forumites here, fastest i heard is 2hrs+ for a MG kit.
  
  ive only done 2 HG 1/144 kits for the moment, i spent 2hrs+ too.

  2hrs for a MG?
  
  man that's very fast. did he file off the spurs nicely?
  
  cos just cutting off the parts from the runner and building is easy and fast. filing off the spurs nicely takes lots of time.

  Hmm, for HG 1/100 fastest was 3hrs 50 minutes, strictly meaning 4hrs lah...
  MG fastest was 4hrs block, but must sand and do panel marking ultra fast...
  The fastest MG was the MS-09R Rick Dom for my case, and the longest was the Zeong for 6 hours plus...
  SF Full Burst Mode took 5hrs 37mins...

  I'm making my first gundam kit now . 4 hours liao only halfway completed. But after I cut off the parts from the runner I will trim off the spurs nicely so quite time consuming.

  If its in a hurry, ½ to 1 hr. But I prefer to do it slowly so as to enjoy.

  I completed the PG Strike Gundam in about 3 or 4 days I think. I've got the PG Skygrasper as well, though I can't recall how long that took me to complete.
  
  For 1/100 HG models I'd take between 3 and 4 hours. MG models would take me about 4 - 6 hours, spread out over two days usually.
