Aaah at last i see your inspiration. Behind the tail of 'Not so naked bird'. Is that a Brewski i spy. You realise you should drink and spray?

Amazing work as usual Chuck. Brings a tear to the eye knowing your on the final leg. Great idea on the folding tool BTW.

I'm the wrong person to pose the question to........but it sounds like a great idea to me! It certainly qualifies!

Also, I believe the beer can is for used Exacto blade disposal. 

Yes, Nam- but I did drink the beer first!  Thanks, everybody, for treating me so nicely.  Looks like I've fallen in with some good eggs here! 

I've managed to push this donkey a little farther down the road- take a look!  

 All Hail the Chuckster, All Hail the Chuckster,

 Hail Him Godammitt

with something soft, preferably.

Finally, after my hernia operation, I can get back and see how that Helldiver's coming along. I'll have to take the time during my recovery and just prowl through all 28 pages of this build. What a fantastic job!

Probably just one or two more sessions left, huh?

What with the attention to detail and all, this build is cooler than a penguin's dangly bits.

Keep it up Chuck.

chukw.....as with every installment there is something to be learned or refreshed....Thank you!

I want to reiterate kudos about your talented presentation also. This entertainment is impressive even to non-modelers. (Believe me I showed her and she read every page!)

Your dive brakes are.......well, someday I will toss my drill bits in a drawer. There really is a long way to go I realize now......attaching those brakes.....the legs.....attaching that major greenhouse.....we shall be entertained many more times I trust!

Thanks again for another outstanding chapter!

Well, as I promised myself during my recuperation, I just spent a few hours (over a couple of days) paging through this whole thread and watching chukw build that beautiful Helldiver. What a fantastic build! Hopefully, there will be a sequel; certainly when the Helldiver is finally finished, it will be a sad day and a glad day at the same time. Sad because there will be no more fun little instructions or wondering what's next; glad because all that hard work will finally have come to fruition in a stunning model (which should be entered in the upcoming Nats in Columbus, or if you can't make it there, the 2010 IPMS Nationals are being held in Phoenix--less than 400 miles from Redondo Beach and only about five miles from my apartment)!

Many thanks, chuk, from myself and all of us who have watched this build over the months.

 Gee I miss all the fun! Looking great Chuck!

You guys are absolutes kooks- I can't keep up with ya!   I really do put my pants on one leg at a time- sheesh! 

 Another week gone by- along with the last remnants of Summer.  Here's to the coming Fall!

Nice one, man. Again, you've excelled yerself.....very entertaining....and informative.....does the little guy with the beard talk to you?

Or do you talk to HIM?  Hmmmmm.....scary....

Those panel lines look great! once again you have set the bar a little higher for me.(Its ok though, I'm about 6'5" so I think I can reach it) Thanks!

Top marks again Chuckster. The sandy wash really gives the panels some kick. Not sure if its been mentioned before but the photography is first rate. Absolute quality.

You must have an idea on the next build. Go on, give us a clueski.
