Agreed with Venture! Take your time, its not a weekend or even month long project.

how long does it usually take for someone taking their time, i want it t look good. Also, anybody got any good pieces to use to practice on?

Well taking there time about 2 or 3 months. I'm about another week or 2 till the end of my build and i have been working for about 4 weeks. I good piece to practice on would be just some hand plates. There small, easy to make, and can be remade really easy if you don't like them.
