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.

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.

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

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.
