pleasant facebook surprise + DR, day 13/14/15

So, some of you might remember in my first post that I said that I regretted not blogging about my howls moving castle papercraft a few years ago while I was doing it...

 (Just a picture to remind you)

Anyways... I found out today that there is an "other" tab under the facebook messages section which holds all messages which are sent to you from people whom you don't know on facbook, Imagine my shock when I had NINE messages dating back to 2012 asking me for info about the howls moving castle papercraft...

Needless to day I sat there for awhile returning messages explaining as much as I could (although by this point it's probibly too late for most of them)

anyways, on to DR update...

Three more days of work, and I'm halfway through the remaining orange... I'm down to one and a half trays of pieces now, so it shouldn't take me more than another hour or two to do all the black/orange...


 that outline is two hours worth of work >.<
 yet another two hours of work >.<

this third section took another two hours or so, it should get a LOT easier from here...

I will say, that probibly about a half hour of these last six was dedicated to regularly reorganizing my pieces on the trays...

still, as of now, the orange is looking like it will take less time than the pink, and there are significantly more pieces, so I'm definately getting better =D

Sorting 11 hours
Pink: 8 hours
Green: 3.5 hours
orange: 7.5 hours
Total: 30 hours

Update: finished orange/black... took approximately another hour... it's looking like orange will end up only taking approximately 9 hours total, since this was significantly harder than pink I believe i'm getting better at this =)

Update 2: Finished solid orange, which took another half hour




so the triple man section time ticked down to this as best I can figure out...

Upper left: 2.5 hours
upper middle: 1 hour
upper right: 1 hours
middle right: 1 hour
Bottom right: 1 hour
Bottom middle/left: 1 hour
solid orange 0.5 hours

So 8 hours total on the triple man and solid orange on top of the two hours for the hunched man...

so new totals are...

Sorting 11 hours
Pink: 8 hours
Green: 3.5 hours
orange: 10 hours
Total: 33.5 hours

  1. Very nice work, David! It's coming along well. Is the hunched man with the green whale? on his back the first panel you have fully completed with all the colors added - other than white border of course, which I don't count since that's something you'll probably save until the end.

    Interesting about the facebook messages thing. I'm going to have to check mine out and see if there are mysterious messages in mine too. LOL

  2. I did check out that "Other" section in messages. You were right. There were messages in there that I had never seen. Unfortunately, all of mine were from spammers looking to "meet up", but it's cool to know that's there. Thanks for the head's up. Did you work on your puzzle more last night? I gotta get back to mine. I'm living vicariously through you and the other people on the Flickr jigsaw group....this weekend is my son's 4th birthday party so won't be doing anything resembling puzzles until after that's over.
