space 1999

Hi guys!!! I'm creating some Space 1999 inspired spaceships with my 3D printed BYOS modular system. This one can be called BYOS Small Range Probe Cargo Ship. In this one I've used 22 of my 3D printed BYOS parts. I've 3D designed all the parts, Shapeways has 3D printed them, and I've painted...

Greetings from Portsmouth, Old Hampshire, England. I have been lurking about the forum for quite some time, and feel now is the time to start putting a little bit back.

I'm one of those guys who saw Space 1999 before Star Wars. The Eagle made a lasting impression and, like many, I considered Alan Carter the coolest space pilot there ever was. Excited to finally have an Eagle of my own, I got my Round2 Eagle from the first batch in January 2016. At least I...

Lately I've been tinkering around with a free online 3D program called Tinkercad (https://tinkercad.com/). I got into it only a few weeks ago because my work recently bought a Makerbot 2 and I needed to learn to use it. Tinkercad is quite easy to learn and you use and modify various shapes like...

My wife and I have been planning a web-based miniseries for a while now, set in a "used future" that will visually reference some of our favorite films. Influences include Outland, ALIEN, Silent Running, Blade Runner and even early Red Dwarf. The series will be titled "Last Flight of the Freya...

Hi Guys, Excellent news, Moonbase Alpha lives.... After many years as part of a private collection this prop has seen the light of day again. I was lucky enough to be invited to photograph this model and I am posting a few pictures here, enjoy. Bernie Space 1999 Eagle Transporter - Eagle...
