Some more of my photo reminders the many Space 1999 related models on display at the Fab Worlds
of Anderson which took place at Leicester Space Centre this year.
While I
liked them all, the star for me was Eagle 2, one of the three original 44”
miniatures built for the series.
Eagle 2
was the second 44” Eagle prop built, and first seen in the episode, ‘The Last
Sunset’.
This is
the excellent 44” Eagle replica which was made by Chris Potter.
Chris
displayed it with four additional side booster rockets, as seen in the
episode,’ New Adam, New Eve’.
This is
one of Chris’ Round 2 MPC 22" Eagle kit builds.
A couple
of other Space 1999 related models from Chris; A replica Meta Probe…
..and a
replica Ultra Probe Command Module.
The Mark
IX Hawk warship that made its appearance in the episode,’ War Games’ has always
been a popular design.
This Hawk
was displayed by David Sisson.
This is a
1:48 ’concept’ Hawk designed by Brian Johnson, and built by Steve Howarth, with
missile cones done by Mike Reader.
Another
1999 original studio model owned by Simon Rhodes, the Pilot Ship from,
‘Bringers of Wonder’.
Apart
from being an obviously interesting looking model, it’s notable for actually
having used parts from an Airfix Eagle for some of its detailing.
And
finally something a little different again from R James Ashton, a couple of
Eagle castaways.
