Helldiver!

Guys, you have to check this guy's work out. He's been building this 1/48 scale Helldiver for almost a year. Just looking at all the scratch building and modifications he's made...well see for yourselves  :O

This guys is by far the most talented and detail driven modeler I have ever heard or read about. The thread is over 22 pages long, but it is DEFINATELY worth the time.

I used to do alot of scratch building/modifying way back in the day, and it took forever. What I've never understood is where do guys like this find the time. I could easily spend 2-3 months on one plane. Do these guys just model 24/7?

Amazing.  Really amazing.

I used to be happy if I could get the propeller to turn.
