Capn Frank Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Mulberry has traded in two of its tanks to get a new Blackhawk helicopter. Since no one in Mulberry knows how to fly a helicopter, ExoBuilder was so kind as to pilot ours and show me how to pilot it also. *sweet* FYI: I had limited bricks that i wanted to use up to make this, so i may improve it later. This version of the Blackhawk is very close to Lego scale. Only the nose is a little too long and the top rotor is too far back. Here are some pics: If you see the second thumb-link above, you can see that the machine gunners are standing straight up (barely). Here're some pics of the interior: The bottom "half" is removable to increase assesibility (playability ;-) ). Here's a pic of everyone that was in the Blackhawk: The 4 guys on the left are my 4 Spec. Ops. (one of which is an officer); the 2 center guys are the machine gunners; and I'm the co-pilot while ExoBuilder is the pilot. X-D P Edited May 9, 2008 by imperialshadows Quote
iamded Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Very cool! I especially like how you've done the wheels, and how everyone can fit in there! Very impressive. It appears someone got caught in the end of the rotors, hence the red. >:-) :-P What torso is used for the Spec. Ops. soldiers? ~Peace Quote

Mind posting instrucions so I can get some up an running? I am in need of a good transport chopper... Stauder Instructions?! 8-| Ya want me to tear it apart at specific parts to get a good idea how to make it? :-$ Nice helicopter and good scale. Never thought grey and green would go so well together. Me either. :-D I just used them together cause that's what colors i had the most available in my "available" bricks. ...I never thought the color scheme would work, it looks great! I'd like to see more of these from you! ... Thanx EB. *sweet* Unfortunately i destroyed 2 of my 3 tanks to have the required plates and wedges :'-( And i wanted to free up my tan bricks used up with one of the tanks. 8-| Edited January 16, 2008 by phred Quote

Captain Green Hair Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Great heli Phred! *y* Would even call it a blackhawk if you didn't say so *sweet* Quote
WarnIcarus Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 It looks great, but it would look better if it was all black. Quote
Hinckley Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 This EN Trains and Town mockery has gone on long enough.I demand another forum. BTW nice Black/Green/Grey/Red Hawk What an unfortunate way for us to meet. There will be no other forum and I suggest you rope in your demanding ways... Quote
Capn Frank Posted January 17, 2008 Author Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks guys *sweet* It looks great, but it would look better if it was all black. Same here until i started looking at pics like this online: it seems like there aren't too many black Blackhawks. *wacko* Most are green or gray. X-D Also, i didn't want to use any black bricks needed for my constitution. P Quote
Captain Ka-Boom Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Woah your right. Never thought about a green hawk. Quote
TheTET Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 This is a nice Lego reendition of the Blackhawk ! 10/10 Quote
Minifig Lecturer Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 it seems like there aren't too many black Blackhawks. *wacko* Most are green or gray. X-D Also, i didn't want to use any black bricks needed for my constitution. P Yeah that's right. I think people are thinking of the black Apaches. Quote
Siegfried Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 You are indeed a man of many talents! Great chopper. *wub* I epecially love the rotor joint. Quote
Capn Frank Posted January 25, 2008 Author Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Thanx guys. :-) Yeah that's right. I think people are thinking of the black Apaches. There are black apaches?!? X-O Where have you seen them? You are indeed a man of many talents! Great chopper. *wub* I epecially love the rotor joint. Thank you sinner. :-$ It's also very sturdy too X-D (when it's put together all the way) I used a hinge plate like this to mount the turn table onto. *y* which made it possible to have the rotor tilted forward a little bit. Just like on the mast of my "Improve" the IMTP Ship Entry. P Edited January 25, 2008 by phred Quote
