As a big fan of Space 1999 especially the Eagle Transporter being my favorite part of the whole show, I can honestly say that what you did was truly amazing. The details and sounds are spot on. Incredible job my friend. It is probably the best I've ever seen.
Excellent work there! When I watched the show I was annoyed and scared that there wasn't an airlock system in the ships, the door opened directly to space lol, so I think they made a mistake there...
I am definitely interested in your printed parts and a build tutorial on the doors. I'd love to be able to just have the Eagle lift off and inflight sounds without the music or alarms.
For those interested in printed parts: The big problem with the door motor.. What I used is called a micro servo, it has the particularity of being demultiplied turning very slowly and providing enough strength. It is widely used in dynamic modeling but needs to be driven with a PWM (pulse-width modulation) digital signal which is normally provided by the receiver of a radio control, or by a customized electronic circuit, or by a microcontroller such as Arduino. There is no way to use it only with the power supply, which in this specific case is 5 volts. The alternative is to use a simple motor but generally they turn too fast and so need a gear, which makes them become too bulky. Finally there is the problem of stopping the doors when they have reached the maximum opening or closing. For this I used the copper flat wires that you see in the photo that close (short circuit) when the door has arrived, but you need a electronic circuit or an arduino to handle this signal. It is much simpler to use arduino than to build a special electronic circuit and it is also very cheap, an Arduino Nano clone can cost 3 euros if bought in China. In any case, you need a little knowledge of electronics. I can give you the printed part to open close the doors manually but to power them is more complicated, I should make a simplified arduino kit already assembled and welded for the door but it require a lot of time.. I'm sorry I'm not very helpful on that.
Hello, You have done a remarkable job, it is splendid. Do you share the STL files, the electrical diagrams and the programming of the Arduino too. Thank you for your response.
excellent work, looking to do something similar but also would like a more accurate cockpit, hate the way the figures look like they're floating they're supposed to actually be below the vents, as in the show
Thanks! I put a 3d printed console in front and the side control panels and the ceiling (printed on paper) but from the small windows you can not see any of this.. Very disappointing!
@@cyberwarerobots oh wasn't actually mentioning your actual cockpit, the model kit itself is flawed in the way the cockpit is designed, you know like the way the figures are supposed to be glued floating in front of those vents but as in the show there is like a walkway and the seats are kind of like a step down from the walkway, so I guess the figures legs should be straight foward as opposed to bent at the knees if that makes sense, don't know if that's actually more of a scaling issue, ya know, but as far as your build goes, among one of the best I've seen 👍👽
@@WarlockCore The kit is a good replica of the show props cockpit where Brian Johnson used two gemini pilots, from a 1/24 Revell Kit, glued directly on the wall. Frequently in Space 1999 the scene sets and the props are inconsistent. catacombs.space1999.net/main/models/eagle/w2meagle1.html
ma la scatola di montaggio che si vede nei primi secondi c'entra qualcosa con la costruzione? Magari hai preso da alcune parti per non doverle fare con la stampante 3D?
Si certo il modello di base è il kit che vedi in foto, ma gli interni, le porte scorrevoli, i serbatoi per i getti e la parte elettronica e software è mia.
Dalle foto mi sembra di capire che non hai segato il vano porta nel kit originale ma hai preferito replicare l'intero pannello laterale del modulo, giusto?
senti, ma dovendo comprare il modello MPC da 22" va bene anche il modello "base" o e' meglio la special edition che si vede nel tuo video? Che e' sta storia delle decals in piu'?
Nella special ci sono un foglio di decal dedicato alle pannellature, quei piccoli riquadri che vedi in grigio e azzurrino. Se sai riprodurli con l'aerografo vengono anche meglio, anche perché sono un po' troppo saturi per i miei gusti, infatti li ho sbiaditi con del bianco ad aerografo. Ci sono anche delle fascette colorate per le sovrastrutture che puoi rifare mascherando con il nastro. Poi ci sono una cartolina firmata da Brian Johnson e un piccolo poster. Insomma se non sei espertissimo con aerografo e mascherature le decal aiutano..
Osservando il tuo modello ho capito che la cabina di pilotaggio non ha assolutamente i vasti spazi sopra la testa dei piloti come si vede nel telefilm. E' solo una finzione scenica. Anche la profondita' tra vetro e fondo della cabina non torna assolutamente. Per rispettare le proprorzioni del modello, incolli i piloti al muro e hai gia' finito lo spazio!
In effetti le misure esterne dell'aquila e i set di scena interni hanno ben poco a che vedere.. i finestrini anteriori sono troppo in alto rispetto a dove sarebbero i sedili dei piloti, per questo nella scatola di montaggio come nelle repliche di scena non ci sono sedili e i 2 astronauti sono incollati più in alto.

Thank you very much appreciate!
I love the panels and the doors. Brilliant!
That is amazing!
Impressive work, congratulations!
THAT is one of the most AMAZING jobs I've ever seen! Well done! Excellent work!
Thank you so much!!
@@cyberwarerobots Thank you!
Ein Super Eagle Modell . RESPEKT 👍
Excellent work there!

And it's not the only one .. ;)
Truly fantastic. A one off that will never be bettered! Amazing how you've fitted so much functionality into that pod. Brilliant!👍🌚
How I just told, that's fantastic...(Come ho già detto, F A N T A S T I C O)
Ti aspettiamo nella nostra piccola Alpha. Così ci racconti come è nata la tua passione...
Real masterpiece!
Incredible work. I thought I was good but I have found the keep it up.
Great model , I am interesting in printed parts as well the other components
Hi Mario, message me on my fb blog page I give you all details.

I'd love to be able to just have the Eagle lift off and inflight sounds without the music or alarms.
Love what you did here. I’m interested in your printed parts for the interior, doors, lighting.
Simply AWESOME!

Omg. I love it.
great job!!!
Oh wow - if I could only be so talented! Fabulous work! Do you do commission work?
Thank you!
I never thought about working on commission why not?
But this model took so long it would cost a fortune..
amazing
Now let's see it take off!
The music is dull as dishwater, I almost clicked out. Glad I didn't, that build is epic!
Ciao! ti chiedevo se vendi alcuni accessori in stampa 3d. grazie

Amazing work. What scale is this model?
The Eagle is in 1:48 scale, based on the MPC 22'' kit

Are you sharing the 3D files, would love to print my own.
I cannot share the 3d files at the moment.
Are you goingbto put this on shapeways to sell?
