HELICOPTERS - UH60 (Black)(Pave) Hawk (OPEN END)

The only request we have is that you post pictures of your progress.[:)]

Have fun…

If anybody has a good idea for a GB-Icon on this one, let us know

OK, it seems to me that we lost most of the interested people when moving from the “rotary wings” to “Groupbuilds”, so I suggest one of two things ;

option 1 : let’s drop this build and forget about it
option 2 what I would prefer : let’s start al over with the starting date, I suggest that we actually start the GB on September 1.
That way new people get the chance to get into it.

Enjoy…

Cool - now an excuse to finish my Academy Pave Hawk (just don’t ask me about the production block just yet…)

Now if I can just figure out how to post images on this forum… [D)]

Hey Trigger, how about your production block ?

(Never mind, it’s stronger than myself, but if I hear or read, “don’t ask me about…” then, the first thin I do is to ask about that…[:)])

Now, to post pictures, your pictures have to be on the internet somewhere (your website, a gallery, a specialized website that hostes your pictures for free, anywhere…)
Than, you view the picture you want to post in your browser and rightclick on it, copy the url that you will find under properties.
You come to this forum, open a reply type something about the picture, then you push the “insert image”-button (the fourth from right) and paste the url between the tags that will appear when the button is pushed.
It is very important that there are no spaces between the url and the tags !!!

I hope this explanation is somewhat clear, because my English is far from perfect.

Dan

Heh, yeah, I walked right into that! She’ll probably be a Blk 152, but there’s a slim chance it could go to depot for Blk 160 upgrades before it’s all said and done. I don’t know yet but the differences are such that I’ve got a while before I have to make that call [:D]

Those image instructions look like what I want to do (I didn’t want to just throw up a url sending people all over the internet). Hopefully I’ll finish up my website soon.

And your English sounds fine to me. It’s a lot better than either my Dutch or French!

I would like to get into this if possible, using Academy’s 1/48 MH-60G kit… Let me know if that’s acceptable. Thanks!

PS I could also work on a GB Badge…

Hi ewc, as long as its a UH60, it’s more than welcome, for this GB, neither the modelcompany nor the scale matters.

So I will be more than happy to welcome you.[:D]

And about the badge ; that would be great, I have photoshop myself, but there is a hughe difference between having a program and being able to do something more than looking at pictures [;)]

Dan,

Cool…Can’t wait to build something that flies without big wings!

I’ll look into the badge thing… Here are a couple that I’ve made in the past…

Looking good, ewc. I see that you’ve been involved in a Huey GB as well ?
I was building one too, well, technically I still am, since it isn’t finished (yet) ; I had a little accident with something that dropped on it ; result :

busted rotorhead,

I’ll have to get myself a new kit, just to replace those busted parts [:(]

New dates?! So here I am again!
I hope to find the [censored] photoetched kit I’m looking for, in the next month so I could join the GB.
In the meanwhile I’ll finish the Hind and do a Huey!

A couple of badge ideas…

They look good but I think we should stay away from the box art. What does everyone think about these pictures as the base photo in the GB Icon.

Well, there is still enough time to decide on the badge, I do however agree with adrake about staying away from boxart, on the other hand, and I hope I don’t offend anyone, but I would like stay away from national symbols (of any country) too, so I’m sorry but I would rather not see that nice old lady with her lighter in the picture.

I guess a little nationalistic pride got to me. I actually like the bottom picture better, even though I’m building the Army MH-60L. I apologize If I offended anyone with my last post and if anyone wishes, I can remove it.

Hi adrake2, no you don’t have to remove your last post, just because of miss Liberty.
Isn’t it amazing how everybody is sooooo carefull in what to write lately ?[:)]

We have to be so PC now… It’s driving me nuts sometimes.

How about this logo:

Let me know.

Well, Avus that looks like a fine Badge to me, it looks like we have already two possible badges being the first one from ewc, and this one.
By the end of the month we could do a vote maybe, since we are being democratic here. [:D]

ps: Isn’t that the same picture u used as adrake ?

ps2 : Did you find that PE set you were looking for ???

Ok let’s vote on the badge, but have a look at my signature I might do some magic if I’m not satisfied with the result! [:D]

Yes it is adrakes picture; I just edited it a bit.
No, I still didn’t find that [censored] PE kit. Almost all shpos are closing for vacation in august so I will try again in september. Otherwise I’ll order it directly from Euduard’s.
Actually I already started working on the Pavehawk some time ago. So when the GB starts I’ll have I’ve some advantage on you guys and I’ll have some time to search for the kit.

The voting about the badge shall be held between August 15 and August 25, till then everybody is welcome to sugest an idea for badges.

And people, don’t be scared by the Dark Avus, as a Wiccan I can protect you all against his Black Magic [:D]

I just hope we get a few more participants for the build though.

I have a seahawk laying around that I could use for this, but looking I don’t see any guidelines or even a firm start date. Sounds like most of this is in another thread?
