44" Eagle 5

[Lee S]

Stormy, yes I did use a jig, nothing too fancy but it certainly is needed.

 

[Alan3]

Great work Lee. All that hard work really pays off. Keep it up !!!

 

[Nwerke]

This is glorious stuff, Lee! Did you hand file all the brass? Use a jig for that too, if so?

 

[Lee S]

Hey, yes I am hand filing all the brass, not that I would recommend that path. Have rigs rigs too, those are fairly simple and 100% needed. More pics soon.

 

[Nwerke]

Absolutely impressive. You have a thousand per cent more patience than me, that's for sure.

 

[Stormy320]

It would really help to see pictures of your jigs.

 

[ProfKSergeev]

Wooo! Show us your jigs!

 

[Matt009]

Amazing! Ken Foran would be proud!

Just thought to rattle this thread a bit for an update. I hope the build is coming along well.

 

[Lee S]

Yeh I've been distracted with other projects and now I've just moved. But all the parts are with me and I'm eager to restart

Really cool project, OP. I hope you post lot's of pics of the Eagle once it's done. The eagle transporters were imo, the most realistic space craft ever made in a sci-fi series. They really looked like they could work.

Any luck getting it done? Would love to see some pics!

 

[Lee S]

Unfortunately not :-/ Trying to finish up three other builds, then I can

I was just thinking about the Eagle 5 and wondered if anyone had attempted an SS model of it here. Checked the SS page and it this was the 2nd to the top thread! I hope you can get back to this soon.
