Space 1999 Eagle Transporter Build Club (PIC HEAVY!)

Re: Space 1999 Eagle Transporter Build Club UPDATE 03 January (PIC HEAVY!)

The spine looks Great! I can't wait to see how it looks when completed! That was hard luck with the moulding incident.....I am sure you will resolve it, for sure. :)

falling behind = The long view.

I'm way behind you mate. There is a lot to be said for <thinking time> it has it's place. I must have drawn and redrawn the eagle and parts in sketchup more times than is possibly healthy. But I hope it eases the eventual build.

Currently, breakfast cereals, are losing their outer vestments. In a very mysterious way!

Hmm..naked cereal?
I can't figure this one out!!

And you're right about the time/progress thing. I guess I'm just feeling guilty for taking December "off"! I have been doing "behind the scenes" stuff, like acquiring parts I will need...so I guess it wasn't a total loss, at that!

HELLO BOYS! Its Spine Time! LOL :lol well next week after one build commission I need to knock out I will sit down and have many hours of cussing and frustration ahead of me. I was trying to get in touch with this guy Daniel something and Chris Trice who made some nice detailed Eagle blueprints, emailed them a couple of times but no response maybe they went out of business so I'll have to work with a set of less detailed prints I bought off of Ebay and wing the rest so here's my tubing stash for now :lol.

Thanks a bunch, Ray: now I've got a Kenny Rodgers song stuck in my head...
"You picked a spine time to leave me, Lucille" :lol

Well, all being well, Bob, you should have a chance to play a little catch up now that you are on down time from work :)

Okay guys I'm still plugging away on this finally casted the 2 resin halfs of the CM and cut 2 of the window sections out and blocked them out now just need to do the other two and the suface panels.

I was just wondering the same thing! We went from two...then three..to suddenly what seemed about forty-six! :lol

I was telling Darren that the way it's going, we'd probably have enough builds here to complete a whole fleet of twenty-eight Eagles!

Hmm..maybe we should each number ours differently. Then we really would have a whole fleet! :)
 
Re: Space 1999 Eagle Transporter Build Club UPDATE 03 January (PIC HEAVY!)

Wel there's:

1. Atlanthia (me) 52.25" Eagle
2. LMFAOSchwarz 39" Eagle
3. F3nri5 52.25" Eagle
4. 8 perf, 23" Eagle
5. Barrie, 44" Eagle
6. crackerjazz, 44" Eagle?
7. Ray22 (you) 22" Eagle
8. Greylocke who is not actually building at present but is writing Space 1999 short stories and designing around them. Plus, he makes a great cup o' tea! :)
So there you go! The more, the merrier, I say as someone will always have an update to share or some info to impart...:)

Looks like Ray, 8 perf and I are the oddballs, size-wise! That's ok, though: ours would be great for the mid-range distance in "forced perspective" shots! :)

(Well, provided mine was filmed from the right side, that is!)
 
Re: Space 1999 Eagle Transporter Build Club UPDATE 03 January (PIC HEAVY!)

Well, ray and 8perf's builds are pretty much studio scale, as they were originally built in three sizes for filming: 12, 22 and 44 inches.
So, it's me, you and F3nri5 who are the oddballs. :unsure.

Nothing new there then.......:lol
Whoa! 5am here! Night all! :)
 
Re: Space 1999 Eagle Transporter Build Club UPDATE 03 January (PIC HEAVY!)

:eek Oh, boy, what's my name doing in that list - Darren.....Daaarennnn! I haven't even got any blueprints on hand yet. And not the slightest idea on how to begin building - a 44-inch one at that! I'm a big fan of you all Darren and co., and I dream of building one myself - that's what I remember saying. But....so be it...I'll build one, too...I'll take that list as an inspiration. But please don't expect anything quick from me as I don't fly like Ray or you guys. I'm a turtle of a builder.

That's ok, cracker...I started with minimal blueprints and planning. And if I can do it, you of all people certainly can!

But no hurry, as you say: I know you'll be busy designing and printing the phaser bank for your lunar module! :lol
 
Re: Space 1999 Eagle Transporter Build Club UPDATE 03 January (PIC HEAVY!)

:$ Sorry about that, crackerjazz..............:love

I could certainly help you out on the blueprint side of things, and if you prefer, I could put you down for a different size than a 44 inch Eagle. :)
 
Re: Space 1999 Eagle Transporter Build Club UPDATE 03 January (PIC HEAVY!)

Cracker - I got you beat on the speed build thing. i started on mine close to 18 years ago!!! :)
