lindsay1963 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I guess will join the the Blackhawk builders and do my first helo here. I would like to really dress it up nice, so any imput or pointers on the building this bird would be so greatly appreciated., I purchased the Eduard Big ed kit for detailing. I don't have a lot of scratch building talent so im hoping the guys here will take pity on a helo nubee and please help. how do I go about adding pics to this topic?

Eduard has some decent stuff but I would highly recommend checking out Cobra's resin. Especially if you are going to be building a late version with all the new sensors, flare buckets, etc. Also, Live Resin has a very nice M240 set. To post pics, you need to upload the pics to photo sharing site like Photobucket. Then copy and paste the IMG link into your post here on ARC. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Welcome. Glad you are joining the build. What scale are you doing? oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lindsay1963 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks Oliver , its the academy 1/35 UH-60L kit. I thought I would start off with something a little bigger hopefully easier. was wondering if there any particular fit problems or things of that nature on this kit. One question I noticed on the other blackhawks they have the little box under the seats that the guys scratch built is this common to this version as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Hi Big fit issues with cockpit floor...lots of gaps. Not an expert on blackhawks, i am sure somehow will post here about that. Please post photos when u can. Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lindsay1963 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 again thanks for the input Oliver, I will begin with the cockpit floor and those boxes under the seats. I will post pics when I can looking forward to all input . lindsay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Good to have another Black Hawk build here. If you read some of the other build posts here, you will learn a lot about what needs to be fixed on it. It is a pretty good kit, but can be great with a little work. Also, I'll second the Cobra Company sets. They are great and add a bunch of missing details. For pics, you are adding too much to it. All you need is to copy the Direct link under Sharing from Photobucket and paste it between image tags [i m g] ... [ / i m g] (but without spaces), like so: [ i mg] http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w31/lindsay19633/IMG_0029_zpsun71pjr7.jpg [/ i m g] and you get this: Edited April 7, 2015 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lindsay1963 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks Woody looking forward to everyones input here are a couple shots , I got the floor below the pilots seat cut out and scratch built a couple boxes. guys please remember scratchbuilding is new to me so any suggestion are most welcome. I just need to clean up the edges of the floor around each box then add cables and hoses and such.[/img] still not about posting these pics Lindsay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) You are still adding/copying too much of the url. All you need is the part from http:// to .jpg Put these between the image tags and it will work fine. Edited April 8, 2015 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lindsay1963 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Added a few detail bits to the boxes best I could do in such a small spot http://s172.photobucket.com/user/lindsay19633/media/IMG_0034_zps8w7xhv7i.jpg[/img] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HeavyArty Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) You're still copying too much. All you need is from the image http://... to the .jpg. so only copy that part and place it between the tags: [ im g] http:// i172.photobucke t.com/albums/w31/lind say19633/IMG_0034_zps8w7x hv7i. jpg [/img] Once you remove the spaces, it shows up. Looking pretty good. I see one potential issue though. The right side cut-out (lower one in photo), is too far inboard. The holes behind it are where the seat side rails will attach and the opening should be no wider than the two holes. Yours will have the opening wider than the seat and the bottom seat rail in the opening. Edited April 9, 2015 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lindsay1963 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Thanks for pointing that out I should've seen that guess ill have to figure out how to correct it. Im glad I came to this forum everybody is so helpful. Im still not clear on the photo adding do you copy from address bar then post it where? im not sure understand img img part. thanks for being patient everyone lindsay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 If you are copying the http from the address bar, that is your issue. There are two ways to get the proper address in Photobucket. 1. On your album page, click on your photo so it gets larger. On the right side of your photo, you will see "Share Links" with three boxes under it. One of the boxes says "Direct", copy what is in this box. Paste what you copied between the image tags, [ i m g] paste here [/i m g] (leaving no spaces). 2. You can also hover your cursor over the gear in the upper right corner of your pic to get the "Share Links" option in a dropdown menu. Click on "Share Links" and you will get the same three boxes as above. Copy from the "Direct" box and paste as above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lindsay1963 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) didn't work I think im messing up at the part where u say post to image link which is the image tags? Edited April 9, 2015 by lindsay1963 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) [url="http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w31/lindsay19633/IMG_0034_zps8w7xhv7i.jpg"'>http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w31/lindsay19633/IMG_0034_zps8w7xhv7i.jpg" You are closer. http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w31/lindsay19633/IMG_0034_zps8w7xhv7i.jpg is what you copied from Photobucket. Take what you copied and do the following: Type [im g] [ /im g] (but without extra spaces). These are the image tags. Paste what you copied between the image tags. [i mg ] http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w31/lindsay19633/IMG_0034_zps8w7xhv7i.jpg [/im g ] (again without any spaces). When you have removed the spaces, the image will show.
