Over the years, I have seen several different papercraft templates for the Eagle Transporter spacecraft from Space: 1999. However, most of these paper models were very detailed and thus pretty difficult to build. Finally, with the release of this papercraft Eagle by DA artist Frohickey, a simpler, easier-to-build version of the Eagle is available. The seven pages of Frohickey's template may be downloaded here.

MARVELOUS!
ReplyDeleteTHANKS...
RODO MEDINA - COLOMBIA
Could use a set of instructions, some pictures do not reflect the actual pringouts
ReplyDeleteSorry the designer did not provide any instructions. However he does provide some additional photos which you may find helpful: https://www.deviantart.com/frohickey/art/Eagle-Card-Model-2-203451687
Deletewhy cant i download the space 1999 eagle model
ReplyDeleteMaybe you need to create a DeviantART login?
DeleteThese are partial written instructions by a fellow that built the model on his own. They might help a bit. I've got to sketch out some usable instructions asap.
ReplyDeleteSheet1
1) X marked the inner part of the shock absorbers.
2) Elongated the altitude thrusters, making it easier to properly roll them.
I am experimenting with a conical design
3) elongated the support beam. With current version, it was not reaching both side of the pods
4) Secondary gear struts: Added the inner side, so both sides will be black. It gives a better strenght to the piece as well
Sheet2
1) X marked the support beam hole
Sheet3
1) Detached the right side door panel, making it clearer what has to be cut
Sheet4
1) simply marked what to cut and what to fold
Sheet5
1) Adjust position of cockpit window, making it clearer how to asemble
2) Build the join based on the engine's belt.
Started to work on another type of join,
where the commander module back will be closed with a panel holding a door and 4 little atatches
3) simply marked what to cut
4) made the steering thrusters smaller (85% from original) as to match the size of the placeholder
Sheet6a
1) added tab on the grey inner big bell
2) added tabs on the engine's cover part. Spaced them a bit as to ease the cutting
3) removed some ghost pixels on the upper part of the engine's central piece
Sheet6b
1) Doubled the engine's connector. So both sides are offering the same image. It gives a better strenght to the piece as well
2) (todo) added tabs on the engine's cover part. Spaced them a bit as to ease the cuttingSheet7
Lift off thrusters
Created the sheet using the small engine bell
There are two dimensions, since the forward and aft frames have less space than the passenger module to install them
Not finished yet
Thanks for taking the time to do this!
