the other issue is that the cutaways that rebate to the windows are not square. That is the sole reason why I went for the construction method that I did. If someone has state of the art software, that allows them to slice a 3D model at any point, they can achieve that really easily. The only issue, with absolute respect to you, is that, in order to set the "L's" that you have, you need to have marker points and a contour of the outer surface at that marker. It will give anyone that ALSO decides to build this, another option for approaching it.
I think your way would have worked just as well, Bob, and thank you for posting it up. Re: Space 1999 50 1/2" Eagle Transporter Scratch Build (PIC HEAVY!) I then transferred these images to card, cut them out and glued them together. I started by drawing out the three 2D images necessary to create a 3D form: Plan, Side elevation and rear elevation. As for the Engine bells.Not a clue at this point! Out of these three, I chose to start on the command Module as, I believe it to be the most difficult part of the build - I am ALL for getting the worst bits done first!
The Command Module doesn't have a single solitary straight line on it and the spine has to be built cheaply but still be strong and durable. OK, I identified pretty early on, that there are three parts to this build, that would prove to be the most difficult to acomplish: the command module, the engine bells and the 'spine' which runs down the length of the Eagle. You guys ROCK and this build would not happen without you or, for that matter, this superb forum to post the results on! Enough said! On with the build! The first two points here are still VERY valid reasons to upscale, so I am going to stick to my guns on this one.īefore I start, I would like to send a HUGE thanks out to GPS for the incredible blueprints, LMFAOSchwarz for the superb Hi resolution reference pics and also Robn1 for his fantastic offer of Bluray caps if needed. Thirdly, I already started my build and it is bigger.ahem.:$ Secondly, I can't ever remember ANYONE having a 50 inch Eagle so, that makes it the biggest to my knowledge. Firstly, at 50 inches, all the dimensions transform beautifully into metric, which allows me to use cheaper materials, such as wooden dowel for the spine etc. Before anyone shouts it out, I know that the largest studio Eagle was just under 44 inches, but after a lot of research, I found that a 50 inch Eagle would be a better option on many levels.
