I am most definitely not belittling your work, or saying you are exaggerating. I just really am curious on some of the steps you outline in this thread, you really need 4 hours to polish a 1/18 scale body? I think you mentioned something to that effect for sanding down the primed body. Really, 4 hours?

Again, I have seen your work, and think your end products are pretty damn nice.

I used to customize/rebuild old UT 993 models which included stripping them down to bare metal, priming, painting, and clear coating. The paint on the exterior alone could easily take 6-10hrs to do well, and at least half of that would be cutting and polishing by hand.
