R2 1/72 Eagle re release WIP

Very cool start! Please keep us updated.

FWIW: I found that 1/87 scale Tiger II engine decks look roughly to scale behind cut out Space 1999 Eagle frame structures on the original model kit.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen those war game items in hobby shops for many years.

Do those resin items in your photos have a similar detail pattern as the HO tank engine decks?

I can't quite discern the details of the resin parts in your photos.

Nice work on those cut outs.

Aside from special resin parts, the only other way I know of to make that job any easier is to use details off the old Space 1999 Mk 9 Hawk model.

Yup! very cool looking kit. I have 1 on preorder.

Thanks

Found this...

I just checked, and I can't believe I failed to take a picture.  I think I was too stunned at the time.  I told the rep, that I'd take two.

I understand completely.

Did you know that PL is making a 22" Eagle?  I saw a test shot at Wonderfest this year.

Probably not after how much work the cages were. I think shapeways sells a more correct spine.

The small kit is so inaccurate anyway.  

Yeah, drilling out those cages is a real pain.

What about the spine?  Will you be narrowing it, since it's out of scale with the filming miniature?
