Yeah Geez man, shoddy work if ever ive seen it. Thats it!, im never tuning into this thread again. Those HUGE fat knobs are just bizarre. (I know, gratuitous use of the last sentance. Cant re-read it without smirking. God im a child LOL)
You got the sarcasm there, right?

Hey chuk... will you finish this thing already so I can copyxxxxxxxxxxxx.... er.. I mean...use this as a guide of suggested methods of construction, when I start my 1/72 Helldiver.

.....this posted as I push my 1/48 HD's further back into the stash!
I hope chukw gets a bit of modeling time in this w/e..........just hoping...
Thanks for the support, guys- work hard, play hard, nobody gets maimed- that's my motto! I think we need to keep and eye on wing_nut- I've got the Academy 1/72 kit and all the etch, and the very thought at this point makes me dizzy! The next project will have to be simple- like a 1/48... oh, wait- that would be telling, wouldn't it?
Oh, and one more thing... :D
LOL, Another great installment! Thanks again Chuck!
And yes, I agree we gotta keep an eye on Wing_Nut. Next thing we know, he's gonna start building a 1/144 Helldiver with all the trimmings.

Grrreat job.......keep up the great work....

Chuck, you is da man. Seeing it buttoned up DID look wierd. Shes quite a fat brute. Loving it though fella. You carelessly mentioned a 21century Toys kit that you used the wire from? Could that possibly be your next project???

I've been holding off starting so I can use this as a guide. Great work so far. Cant wait to see what's next.

Sweet stuff Chuk!!! Really weird seeing her all buttoned up-- but it sure did pay off with what you can still see!
Not sure if you saw this-- but I was looking up some stuff for my Avenger build and saw this article on the Helldiver--

It's always a gratifying moment when you get that fuselage glued together. That's the time when a model plane starts to really look like a plane. It's a big step forward!
Can't wait to see what's coming next!
"Whaddya mean 'Who's flying the plane?!' Nobody's flying the plane!"
Hey, guys, thanks a million! And Jeeves- that is one cool article- thanks! I was busy with some freelance yesterday- I drew and inked 16 Marvel Comics trading cards! You can check 'em here: Trading card fun! I once again felt a need to add to the parts count of the kit , so I sawed off the rudder. Well, with all the other surfaces animated it was just beggin' for it! :thumbsup: All right, men- at ease. Smoke if you got 'em, and see you next time!
Nice rudder. Never fail to amaze me with detail you put into this bird. Can't wait to see it finished!

Yep what he said
Chuck, have you ever heard of Naval Aviation News Magazine? I think I found your cartoon character's grandpappy: Grampaw Pettibone. Here is a link to back issues from the 1940s, some require Adobe reader. The articles are great and written during the war and cover all aspects of Naval aviation.

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.

Thanks chuk! You are really fantastic! I especially liked your SheHulk! HubbaHubba! ^^

Holy cow!
It took some time to me to put my jaw again in his place.
I've been learning and taking note of a ton of stuff in this awesome thread!
Can't wait for the next lesson! Congrat for your awesome helldiver!
Simply awesome, Chuck.....Your modelling and the Art work.
Once again I'm humbled by all these kind words- thanks, fellas!
Subfixer- I've heard of this character before- but the link won't work for me. I'll try Google. By the way, my friends all think that Jeff bRidges is playing me in Iron Man! Wish I had a giant robot suit...
arki30 , Watchmann: Thanks for checking the link- art is my first love!
Well, filling seams is probably my least favorite part of the build- but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Me, too! :rolleyes: :lol:
That toothbrush idea is PURE GENIUS!
I guess the part that really gets me is that you're willing (and confident enough) to rip out parts of the awesome 'pit you've already attached knowing that you have the skills to fix it. That would send me into some sort of heart palpitations...
Great stuff, Chuck!

Thanks, Daywalker and dupes! Here's the link to the originator of the Mighty Toothbrush Sander- it's in German, but well-illustrated and featuring more fabulous tips: http://www.modellversium.de/tipps/1-werkzeuge/1-elektro-zahnbuerste-zum-schleifen-und-bohren.html
This guy deserevs all the credit!!!
Oh, and prying out that bulkhead? As I was was jimmying it the phrase, "Hold my beer- I'm gonna try something!" ran through my tiny mind.
