I was plunking this on the Fairbanks one day, and one thing led to another...

Darling Nellie Gray

Thanks, everyone for the comments.   Hi Marc, Hi Adrien, Hi Ron, Hi Bobad...

Ron, I'd have to make a very rough estimate, I was back and forth between several projects & interruptions. Possibly 60 to 70 john-hours, spread over several months?

Since retiring, I usually do about 2 hours/day on "creative" projects; more than that & it starts to seem like "work". Been there, done that! So, if I'd worked on that alone it might have taken a bit more than a month.

thanks again John, I knew there was a lot of time involved, but since visual arts are not my forte.. I wondered about it... keep 'em coming

Ha! To me it doesn't seem like that much time; my quick-n-dirty post retirement films are about 10% as labour-intensive as my NFB stuff. Pretty relaxing actually!

Brought a lump to my throat - and, as everybody knows, I'm one hard-assed sonofabitch. Thanks, John.
