You're welcome, thanks for watching. They've released a 1/72 scale version of this ship so if you're interested in trying this, you now have an option that's smaller in scale and just as accurate. Thanks for your compliment, I appreciate it.
Really good build. I got the metal accessories. I thought if I didn't build it would compliment any re-sale I did. Just an update. Etsy is selling an interior set miniature for the passenger pod. Thanks again...
Amazing finish! The Eagle looks Fantastic. Love all the detailing you added....especially the cockpit area. The paint work is perfect. Lighting is awesome too. Top marks!!!! Bill.
Thank you for your quick response, I get it, no problem. Continue your great videos, I saw them all so far, great gob and your are very entertaining in the way you make your videos! Looking forward for your next projects. Marco Montreal.👌
It is a fun model. Hopefully you got a good deal...I've seen some really good ones this holiday season. Would love to see your finished model. Thanks for watching and for the compliment.
Really nice looking model. Love the spring action. I might try to do this with a lighted pod but I don't know about reference materials or photoetch availability. Might need to scratch build the whole thing. Thanks for the inspiration.
Since I completed mine and posted pics on the Space:1999 Props & Ships Facebook page, I'mma take credit as your inspiration for the pastel paneling technique. ;) This build is totally badass! I'm going to pick up a second kit and paint it as a Rescue Eagle, as I did mine as a Standard Eagle. I've also thought up some hacks to assemble the kit easier than what the instruction sheet shows. All in all, bravo!
Nice build of a nice kit!! I'm sure you already know this, but Alclad has to applied in a very light thin coat. Too heavy, and it becomes more like a darker silver paint, as it looses its translucence..
Hi You always put a gloss varnish finish on a model, so to provide a flat finish for the decal or transfer to hold on to. Once your "Decals" and weathering are done, you seal the finish in matt varnish.
Thanks Tom.....I have since adopted that technique especially since finding gloss coats that can be applied with an airbrush. I've also learned a lot about painting figures so I now devote more time to that part of the build as well. Lots to learn. Appreciate you watching and for the tip.
Good job! I like the pastel weathering idea better. I did mine by airbrushing greys with card cutouts, like James Small did. I have tried this method and it's much easier.
great build ! For the cockpit my choice would be a white LED light when on the Moon doing maintenance and a Red LED in operation. Are going to put in a strobe light (help with docking and not mistaken for a star) and landing foot pad lights ? tjl
Never noticed the two halves of the Apollo Lunar lander sitting behind the cockpit of the Eagle on the top. Is that on the original studio model? Very appropriate nurney!
OK this is something I've always thought about. The eage beak has that wonderfully 4 section black triangle beak. So the upper section is a view port , what on earth is the lower section? Windows for knee caps?
Very nice build. I really enjoyed this video series. I noticed that the mini pads underneath the passenger pod are in a dangling position. Does the model give you a recessed option?
Thanks. The only one I've stumbled across was on monsterinsmotion.com and ran for $1100.00. Here's the link: www.monstersinmotion.com/cart/sci-fi-model-kits-other-c-271_274_299/silent-running-valley-forge-49-inch-1-650-scale-p-18938
1/48. Highly recommend joining Space 1999 Props and Ships of Fbook. Lots of good info there as well as additional parts such as softer springs etc. Thanks for watching
hi Oggie, your Eagle is absolutly very very nice !!! I'm looking for the round metallic parts from Mike Reader but didnt find how to buy them , do you have a link please ? thanksRichard
It is a great model,however,I see no reason to build something that huge. I am working on finishing up the Reliant Wrath of Khan Star Trek model. I estimate at least 100 LED lights. Some strip lighting,most individual colored or navigation. All wiring is magnet wire. It has taken me three winters to build this. I only build plastic models in the winter because I fly RC planes in the nice weather. I taught myself electronics by watching video's. I love building electronic projects now. Your model came out good. I wash using greys and blacks might have been better than pastels. I use paint washs as well as oil based and ink washes,then finish with pastels. I would have used a putty to act as a paint line blocker. I found out silly putty works awesome for that.
RC Hobbyist Extreme...thanks for your comments. Since building this model I’ve become more comfortable and confident w/using washes now and agree they’re very effective. Thanks for watching.
Yes as far as I know. Try and find him on the Facebook page Space: 1999 Props & Ships. My only contact with him was when I purchased the sets. Email me at interstellarmodeler@gmail.com and i can send you the email address I have for him.
Hi Marco and thanks for your inquiry. I'm afraid this one isn't for sale and I don't do commission work. People have asked me this recently and I'll just say that a number of yrs ago I did so some commission work but it started turning this hobby I love into a job. These days I just build what suits me and my aim here is to share my techniques. Thanks for asking and for watching. I really appreciate it.
The ship looks excellent! Thanks for bringing to life a childhood favorite of mine.

Fantastic model. Great job!,
thank you
I like the design of the Eagle. It looks feasible. Nice work on the model.
Thank you
Excellent build Oggie. Truly inspirational.
Really good build. I got the metal accessories. I thought if I didn't build it would compliment any re-sale I did. Just an update. Etsy is selling an interior set miniature for the passenger pod. Thanks again...
Thanks. Not planning on building another Eagle but good for all to know there's an interior available.
Amazing finish! The Eagle looks Fantastic. Love all the detailing you added....especially the cockpit area. The paint work is perfect. Lighting is awesome too. Top marks!!!!
Bill.
Beautiful model, excellent build. Will be ordering mine in the next few weeks.
Wow you Eagle model is better than the TV one. Amazing work 100%
Thank you
What a beautiful job you did. It is such a wonderful design.
eagle looks fantastic.
You are such a talent!
thank you for your kind compliment
Fantastic. Great build. Amazing video.
Congratulations! That is a fine looking rescue Eagle! I liked the practical methods used in this build,nice and simple. :-)
BEAUTIFUL WORK
Beautiful build, really looks great!
Awesome build.

beautiful job.
You sir are a master craftsman. Awesome job! If only I had the patience you obviously do! ;) Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you David for your kind comment and for watching.
Nice build.
Outstanding work!!!!
Nice build of a nice kit!! I'm sure you already know this, but Alclad has to applied in a very light thin coat. Too heavy, and it becomes more like a darker silver paint, as it looses its translucence..
Thanks....yep but good to post so others can take note of the tip.Appreciate the compliment

+James Jones Thanks James
Good job, dude..!✨💖
thank you
Would like to see you do the Cygnus from The Black Hole.
great build ! For the cockpit my choice would be a white LED light when on the Moon doing maintenance and a Red LED in operation. Are going to put in a strobe light (help with docking and not mistaken for a star) and landing foot pad lights ? tjl
You should check out my Eagle Revisited video. I added the strobe and landing gear lights as u suggest
Never noticed the two halves of the Apollo Lunar lander sitting behind the cockpit of the Eagle on the top. Is that on the original studio model? Very appropriate nurney!
I don't believe so. My guess is that they just added it to the mold here. Not 100% sure though.
Fantastic job!!!! what primer did you use prior to applying duplicolor oxford white? I really like the oxford white ton. great job!
I used duplicolors gray filler primer. It's a nice light shade of gray and serves as a nice undercoat to the white.
OK this is something I've always thought about. The eage beak has that wonderfully 4 section black triangle beak. So the upper section is a view port , what on earth is the lower section? Windows for knee caps?
Nothing more than a design element really. Scifi ships are notorious for having interiors and exteriors that dont add up. 😊
Very nice build. I really enjoyed this video series. I noticed that the mini pads underneath the passenger pod are in a dangling position. Does the model give you a recessed option?
Great build. Q: do you know anyone who sells a kit for the movie Silent Running? Looking for the ship the Valley Forge - may scratch build. Thanks

Great job. What are your plans for the second kit? Different paint job? Battle damage?
Thank you.....Since I now have experience working with SMD (chip sized) lights, I'm thinking about adding landing gear lights.
Wouldn't the eagle in transporter mode make a cool home?
Deco the interior like alpha
Absolutely
Were can I get the Astronauts for my eagle??? Any suggestions please??
If you're referring to the figures in the cockpit, they came with the model kit. Thanks for watching
What scale is this model? Is it 1/48? or is it 1/35?
1/48. Highly recommend joining Space 1999 Props and Ships of Fbook. Lots of good info there as well as additional parts such as softer springs etc. Thanks for watching
Hi Oggie, another question, why did you mask off the Windows, and why you painted them instead of decals.
Thanks!!!
Richard Bourdeau Personal preference...preferred painting over decals.
hi, a little question, did you paint all passenger pod Windows with gloss black paint ? Thanks
I just used flat black on the inside
hi Oggie, your Eagle is absolutly very very nice !!! I'm looking for the round metallic parts from Mike Reader but didnt find how to buy them , do you have a link please ? thanksRichard
+Richard Bourdeau Yes of course....You can reach him at reader@mts.net. Sorry about that, I actually meant to mention his address in the video.
Wow

Are the Sensor Dishes still for sale? I tried to word search Mike Reader and no luck.
Yes as far as I know. Try and find him on the Facebook page Space: 1999 Props & Ships. My only contact with him was when I purchased the sets. Email me at interstellarmodeler@gmail.com and i can send you the email address I have for him.
Oh, can you tell me the name of the music used during the landing gear Spring setup.
+Stomping Freak These are all just jingles from iMovie. That one is called Elysium.
Would you sell the eagle or can I commission you to make one, how much would you charge? Thank you. Marco
Hi Marco and thanks for your inquiry. I'm afraid this one isn't for sale and I don't do commission work. People have asked me this recently and I'll just say that a number of yrs ago I did so some commission work but it started turning this hobby I love into a job.
