Pete Fleischmann Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 Playing around with the display layout- amidst my cluttered workbench- ...amazing that my bench is 7ft long but I always end up working in about 2 square ft.. cheers P johncrow, J.J., GMK and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Pardon the ignorance, but what's the square cut-out on the left door for? It all looks like a bit of Photoshop to remove the post, you could convince everyone it was a real Pavehawk hovering. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Absolutely stunning Pete! I don't know if it's been asked before but how are you going to depict the rotors? Like a "snapshot in time?" I'd imagine it's a bit hard to "prop blur" a main rotor!!!! Also, definitely not picking fault, more just curious as to why the guy on the hoist is using his left hand on the cable? In most helicopters the pendant control is usually mounted on a bulkhead so it can be used but not get in the way........ Can't remember specifically how the blackhawk one went though.... it's been a few years! As I said, certainly not taking anything away from your build, just as a helicopter crewman for my day job, it just seems odd Cheers, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Hi Matt, the USAF Pavehawk has a cargo door on the right side of the fuselage, aft of the cabin, which is hinged to open up and away from the fuselage. The cutout in the right cabin door allows the cabin door to be open when the cargo door is also open- cheers P scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, certainly not taking anything away from your build, just as a helicopter crewman for my day job, it just seems odd Cheers, Craig Hi Craig, My plan is to snapshot the main and tail rotors- The Pavehawk hoist control has a hand held grip controller on about 10ft of coiled cord that connects to the control box on the right side of the cabin. My crewchief is holding the remote control in his right hand, and guiding the cable with his left. This is because of limitations I had when building this figure from components of other figures- he is a Frankenfigure and was created out of body parts from several figures. His arms were from figures shooting M4 rifles, and they are for a right-handed shooter..I couldn’t find any lefty’s. If I could have found a right arm extended from a left handed shooter, it would have been great, but no luck..so I had to improvise- cheers P brahman104 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, Mark Hi Mark- I agree..and I did that with my Arctic F-16 aggressor and it looks awesome- I considered it for this, but I didn’t want it to visually distract from the cable, basket, and figures that will be hanging vertically below the helicopter- My thought was the stand cutting across and behind a focal point of the display might not be optimal... cheers P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
