3D Printed Eagle from Space 1999 

Thanks. have to replace the resin engine pod with fdm ones as they are sagging a bit now.

Thanks. Busy working on a very large Star Destroyer!

@@ModelMarvels I've had a 3D printer for 7 years and have already printed a lot of "useful" and spare parts. Always on the lookout for "good" vehicles, I've flirted with old childhood favorites like the Space Eagle or the Comet (Capitan Future). I don't want anything ready-made, so it should be created in Fusion 360, then printed and then hanging over my desk. Somehow there is always no time for it. That's why I envy everyone who creates something like that. I printed a Panther Ausf A in 1:16 for my son last year, but the schedule only worked because I was in lockdown for 5 weeks and sat at home. At least Corona had something good there.

@@Andreas.Pfisterer Gambody is a good source. If we had to design as well as print we would never gay anything done. Well done for knocking out a Tiger from scratch. We knock up the odd part, such as the wing & spoiler for the 1/10 metro 6r4 but it's usually unseen parts to attach bodies etc

Thanks - thinking of doing another half the size when the Galactica is finished

Yep, it is big but small compared to the Star Destroyer build

Hi Many thanks. We have another iconic ship in the works - Original series Battlestar Galactica!

@@ModelMarvels - *Now make us a **_flying version!_** Put some rotors/propellers inside the thing, and make it **_take off!_*

Thank you.. Several more builds from Galactica and Trek in the pipeline

Cool! Original Galactica I hope?@@ModelMarvels

@@kevinputry5655 , hehe, of course!

It would be awesome if NASA made a "space bus" type of space only shuttle that looked like the Eagle and it would garner a lot more interest and inspire the general public.

@@ModelMarvels absolutely, Brian Johnson should have been hired at NASA to consult on starship looks.

Also, are you Sean Harris?

@@Del-Canada Hi. I think I may have had a diecast version many decades ago - probably worth something now if it hadn't been "crashed" numerous times! and no who is Sean Harris 🙂

​@@ModelMarvelsEnglish actor. You look and sound like him. Lol

Cool. Perhaps it's the beard;-)

👍

Hahaha. I think it would need a drone licence being several kilos already😀

@@ModelMarvels - well, do you think you could print up a more lightweight version with suitable modifications? I think it would make for a fun visual - and probably even a marketable toy!

HI@@manofsan Ok, I'll add it to the list of things to do. It does sound like a fun engineering exercise to see if it is possible!

Thanks!

👍

Ugh, A few days that's for sure. Probably best not to time these things although I know the tracks alone on our 1/10 Rc tank were 70 hours of printing!

Hi The original files are available from Gambody.com. when we can find the time to work out how to reduce the weight and keep it strong enough to fit motors we will let you know!

Yes both the cockpit and the "pod" have interiors!

That does sound very cool. I can just imagine youngsters sat in the cockpit having their imaginations stimulated!

Hmm, not sure yet. Have to do some repairs first. We resin printed all the engine parts (except nozzles) and they are sagging under their own weight - so an fdm reprint is required!

@@ModelMarvels it still came out top notch!

@@j.lietka9406 Thanks! Prints should only get better from here on as we have moved over to an Ankermake M5c and a Bambu A1
