Karl Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) My Space:1999 Eagle Transporter Scratch Build is finally complete to the level that I am finally happy with it. Seventeen years after I first started it! I am very happy with the way it has turned out; I have not been able to correct all of my original mistakes but I've done the best I can to work around them and to be honest it's way better than I thought it would be. Thanks for looking at the build thread and for all of the kind words of encouragement. The original build thread is here Scratch Build - 1/48 Eagle Transporter (Space:1999) And on to pictures: I've taken them on my usual aircraft base, Could really do with a Moonbase Alpha launch pad.... this must have been a rare visit by and Eagle to an old Airbase. Thanks for looking. Karl Edited September 24, 2017 by Karl 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Fantastic to see this museum piece finished. It really is a masterpiece of scratchbuilding and I am in awe of your dedication. Well done. BTW, It would be great to see your Eagle placed next to something of a recognisable scale, just to show its size.

Gimme Shelter Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 at last, here she is in all her final beauty - brilliant scratch build if ever there was for a 1999 eagle. Great to see to see it completed - really enjoyed the WIP I bet that felt like a very long 17 years.... but well worth the end result tip top - keep calm and eagle on 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
