shark 64 Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Reshaping the inside of tractor so my figure doesn't like a little child driving it since this is 1/32 scale and deck crews are in 1/35...I hope this will work.

georgeusa Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Oops, hit the send button before I could say this is another example of your astonishing work that we mere mortals can never hope to achieve. Your scratch building skills are just amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galaxygirl Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wow amazing work, I will say from someone who works the H-60 this is probably the closest anyone has gotten it! We wrapped up Serra production last year and I'm really happy to see this thread. Your servo deck work is very close with a few exceptions, I assume you probably don't have many pictures of an S because there aren't many. The servo deck on an S is basically the same as other 60 models, like thw R and M only naval hawks have the 4th stage hydraulic parts. You are very close on the flight control rods, keep in mind the H-60 doesn't have servos on the MGB, only rods, the primary servos (AFT, LAT and FWD are on the deck just aft of the Mixer assembly, foreword of the mixer is the 3 boost servos and those boxes with the small rods at the front of the deck are the trim servos. You have the AFT long push rod exactly how it is on the real example. The other 2 rods go along the deck under the fwd bridge to the stationary swash plate. There are only 3 rods that go from their pivots on the 2 bridges up to the swash plate via the expandable pins. Then from the rotating swash plate we have of course the 4 pitch change rods to the blade spindle horns. I especially love the work on the free wheel/ input modules and the accessories drive modules where the pump and generators are, you have got that just perfect.... again as an H-60 girl I really appreciate this work! By the way nothing I said was ment as a criticism at all, may not know how right you got most of this stuff! I'll be following this one! !!

shark 64 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Galaxy girl. Thanks so much for the info. I searched high and low for photos but so few of them on the 60 on the internet. I did find one and ended blowing it up to detail as much as I could. Thanks for following. Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark 64 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Remade the frame and the tank as well as bottom plate for the new tractor since the verlinden tractor is so out of scale. Back to painting next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver actually the best ones I found were on the US NAVY website, I saved them when I tried to do a 1/48 SH-60B, when I started working down at the plant, but that was a while ago and I don't know where I put them, I'm sure they are still out there, they showed a bunch of sailors working on the aircraft. I wish I was allowed to take pictures at the plant but I can't share anything from there, its strictly prohibited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaxygirl Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 are you planning to put someone on top? that would be awesome!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark 64 Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Galaxy Girl, At first I was going to have someone on top and thats why I had decided to detail that area...it has changed since. My dio will have about 8 figures with several deck tractors around the Helicopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
