Not sure really - wasn't paying attention to time this afternoon - probably about an hour or so? I am a fast painter though... :)

Glad you like them Luke - they've just had their first wash - will re-highlight once that's dry; they'll get another wash later tonight & then I'll tidy the base edges tomorrow: finally, matt varnish & then onto ze Germans  :) 8)
