Spaceballs: Eagle 5

Ha! The Falcon is parked on the Diner deck . . .never caught that!! Looks like the Space Shuttle is there too! Too funny . . .
 
I have been working on some scale drawings of the eagle 5 from spaceballs in 1/64 scale. I have a few minor details to finish but if anyone wants to check them out I can send you a copy. To answer some of the questions it is a 1986 chieftain 33 ft. I've been researching and up dating the drawing for a while. It is in autosketch so I'll have to convert it to something else. Let me know.
 
I have a low res tif of it I'll upload at lunch. I am still adding detail to the wing assembles. But I have figured out the actual shape and size of the intakes on another piece of paper. I'll send them when i get done detailing it. I'll convert it to pdf tonight for you.
 
thats a great start! May I ask where did you get the dimensions for the wings? does anyone know the whereabouts of the model for measurement?

I would like to build a model also for my girlfriend...believe it or not it is her favorite movie!

Thanks in advance
 
Here is a low res jpg of the eagle 5 I've been working on. I know the top view of the nose is off a little, still tinkering on it.
Nice work! Regarding the "nose", the front end of the '86 Chieftain 33 is more like a shallow curved shape, and does not come to a point.

Sorry it's been so long to respond. I made a scale using the wheels as a reference and a copy of cineflicks plus some screen shots I tinkered with the math until it looked right. I forgotten that I posted the pdf until recently when I came across a resin model for sale and they were using my drawings as an instruction sheet. Theirs is in 1/72 scale and they printed their own copyright on it.

I'm still tinkering on that.
