Andercon was packed with dozens of models from Gerry Anderson's many series. With the amount of techinical info available on line nowadays the vast majority of model makers now build their models to studio scale, some of which are meticulous in their detail.
However, modellers Andrew Grimshaw and Jeff Gaskell have built a Laboratory Eagle twice the size of the largest original studio Eagle.
This huge model is a whooping 88", and even though it isn't finished yet, and is very much a work in progress, it still looks very impressive.
The only problem I can think of is where's he going put it when it's finished!
Stunning that Scoop! Just can't imagine how they do it. Maybe there needs to be a permanent Gerry Anderson museum somewhere for models like this.
ReplyDeleteSuperb!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely breath taking in every aspect! One thought that has "plagued" me since my youth was trying (or even finding one to see in person) to make a large model of at least 44 inches in Metal! Has anyone ever seen a Large Eagle (outside the Dinky creation) made of 80% Metal in construction!?
