So in reality I can make a quality model start to finish in around two weeks. That is only if I have the extra time on my hands to actually work on modeling just for this sim. Unfortunately I don't have the time anymore like I once did to sit at my PC modeling. I do still freelance 3D models and graphics outside my regular full time job and I still have my other hobbies to fly RC, shoot guns, ride bikes, work out, read tons of books, play chess, etc. I also like to spend time with my family which takes priority in my life and since my boys are getting older, I cherish the time I have to spend with them.
I also have been battling tendonitis and spending extra time clicking on the mouse only aggravates the inflammation, so considering I have a desk job where all I do is click on a mouse all day, I sometimes am just unable to get on my PC at home just because of pain.
I know I don't owe an explanation to anyone for my time away from this hobby, but I do want people to know that I haven't just walked away from the sim, or I'm just lazy--which some could argue I am indeed a bit of lazy. I consider a lot of people on this forum my friends and I think it's nice of me to communicate why I haven't been as active as I once was.
So, I do plan on finishing this model and hopefully soon because I want to install 3DS Max 2015 very soon and create my next model for my freelance work on that version for some reason. I guess because I paid for it, it's eating away at the back of my mind to get that done.
