R2 Re-Pop of the Space 1999 Eagle

Finished this up this morning. Now, back to the Salzo Galactica.



Very nice job! I love this ship.

I’m curious why you painted the forward engines red?

It looks great and adds some color, but I don’t ever

remember seeing it that way in the show.

Nice job painting the cage areas.

Thanks, the simple answer is, I just like how they look on the box cover art!

Nice work! Always liked the looks of the Eagle even though I never really could get into the series.

Robiwan, good answer! Very nice indeed. Bob

Thanks guys. I may add the red stripes to the passenger pod in the future. I’ll see if the hobby shop has plain red decal sheet the next time I’m there. I want to get the 23 inch Replicas Unlimited resin kit sometime in the near future. More than likely it’ll be an Xmas present to myself.

Can u explain how you made the base.

Finally, a kindred spirit. I always hear great praise for this show but even at the time I thought it was kinda “stupid”! I think it primarily was because of the idea the Moon could become a wandering planet basicly acting like a spaceship. After the explosion would its spin be maintained or would it be going topsy turvy like a tumbling asteroid. What was propelling it?

It was a time early in my live when I began to question everything.

The base was made by pouring plaster of Paris on a wood plaque. Once the plaster had “skinned over” I used various size round objects to make the “craters”. The Eagle was also pressed into the surface at this time. Once cured the base was painted.
