These days any Gerry Anderson event wouldn't be complete without an Eagle or two from Space 1999, and the Future is Fantastic con was no exception.
The All Sections Alpha team brought along a good selection of Eagle variations, but most impressive was Chris Potter's excellent 44" studio scale replica Laboratory Eagle with additional boosters, as seen in second season episode,
The Metamorph.
I have featured Chris' studio scale models before on the blog, but these boosters really do change the look of the Eagle, making it look really powerful. I reckon this is my favourite Eagle look!
The detailing is excellent.
The model even featured the alien device from first season episode, The Last Sunset, attached to the side of the cabin.
Quite stunning Scoop. There are some fantastically talented modelmakers connected to the worlds of Gerry Anderson aren't there.
ReplyDeleteThere are indeed Woodsy. The detail on some of these models far exceeds the original thing - and these days BIG is beautiful!
