Great, now we’ll have finally some movement in this GB for once [:)]
As soon I’ve finished some of my other builds, I’ll pick up the Pavehawk again, I really don’t want to work on it while I have commitements in other GB’s since I want to do a “perfect” job on this one.
And now for something completely different:
Okay, this topic was three pages back! Had to bump it up… got some good news on my Pave Hawk from Salbando - my interior’s good to complete with what I’ve got!
Holy cow, last post was one moth ago!
Not to mention my last post; it was made when Adam and Eve were still in the Garden of Eden!
BUT I managed to make some progress: here are the pics of the modified chaff dispenser (for Block 152 upgrade), the crew chief, the pilot and the PJs.
Avus looking good!!! - the only progress that i have made on mine is moving it from one part of the house to another!!! Think that scratchbuilding the interior has been intimidating me!!
I’m glad some of us are still doing some work in this built, personally the only thing I’ve been doing is dusting the box. However that doesn’t mean I won’t be working on her anymore. I just want to finish some other stuff, so that I have a bit more workspace.
Avus, a little question ; Adam and Eve were the first humans, right ? So, where the hell did they get to buy their kits from ???
The snake?![;)]
Nice to hear from you again Dan.
Is the build still open, or has it officially closed?
Still open. that is what the Open End means after the title. It has no end date. a perpetual group build.
Okey dokey, put me down for a 1/35 Academy MK-60K “Special Services” Blackhawk, please. Might take me a bit to complete (I think I’m working on 5 group builds at the moment).
I’d like to point out for all those you haven’t seen this yet: intruder_bass is doing a mega-super detailing of an MH-60L over on the Helicopter forum: http://www.finescale.com/fsm/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=42713
He’s got lots of cool stuff going on over there with his build, not to mention the fact that he’s actually making progress!
Holy cow, I can’t believe I missed this intry just went to see that link on the helicopter forum ; that guy is just terrible !!!
It’s terrible of him to make us feel like NOOBS [:D]
As we sometimes say in Belgium :“chapeau…” (which is actually a french word we took over, meaning : Hat)
well I figured that this GB thread needed a bump so I pulled my Hawk kits open an began the process of scratchbuilding the Medevac Kit. I have the carousel built - think that I might build another with what i have learned after the first copy. I have also opened the right pilots door and added detail to the seat( ie the side armor plates) and the 5 point harness. I have added the WSPS detail to the windscreen and have begun to install it all in the fusalage. I’ll try to get some pics up this week. On my Kilo - I have put together the Robbie tanks for the cabin and the ammo system for the mini guns. I will be scratchbuilding a bunch of details for the outside of this nightstalker bird.
I have decided that the Medevac bird will represent one of ours as it was during OIF II last year, should make an interesting diorama.
blkhwkmatt,
The litter rack sounds great. Would llike to see some pics since I also plan on using the diagram you sent me to build it in 1/35 for an Academy MedEvac UH-60A. Looking forward to seeing the pics.
HeavyArty,
No problem, might be a few days before I have the chance to post anything due to being busy with some civilian ed. stuff right now. Never fear though I shall post some info soon.
No problem, sounds great.
High time for a progress BUMP -
Here are a couple of shots of my first attempt at the Medevac carousel config in my 1/48 hawk. I also added side armor to the pilots seat from .010 card stock and some wire and harnesses to the kit seat from foil.
Notice that it is not complete yet, some of my measurements were a bit wrong so the sides ended up too small, I will be adding more to the sides and working on the top soon.
Anything that you guys might have to say would be great to hear.
Outstanding work blkhwkmatt!
Could I ask for a copy the diagram of the litter. I’m working on a Pavehawk and plan make a Stokes litter to place in the cargo bay.
My progress is the following:
Great work blkhwkmatt!
My MH-60K is coming along…very slowly. Benn on holiday for the past 2 weeks, so I didn’t get much of anything done then, plus I’ve been torturing myself with my Dragon MAZ-543. Anyway, hoping to get more progress going soon…pictures to follow!
Thanks guys for the comments, I have the litter pans built somewhat - think that they may be a hair too long and dont have the handles on the ends yet but - I shall continue to slave away on it. I have the carousel installed in the cabin now and am working on the driveshaft covers that I’ll be posing open to expose the driveshaft going to the intermediate gear box.
Hope to post some pics soon.
