SIXTEEN 12 EAGLE HANGAR: DIRECTOR'S CUT

The new Sixteen 12 Deluxe Eagle Hangar diorama is definitely a winner and great fun, but for my purposes a little small, so I've built a set to extend the size just a little so I can incorporate even more Eagles!


The Sixteen 12 set features a corner of the Eagle hangar, a survey Eagle with additional boosters; a freighter Eagle with pallet and removable winch motor; Eagle pod access stairway, and in-scale hangar personnel.





I decided to add a slightly larger floor, a roof, and some extra walling.

  2. Amazing models and set Scoop! These will be snapped up I'm sure. Which bit of the set is yours? It all looks like the real thing!

    1. They certainly are, Woodsy. Although, as the set comes with two Eagle variants, this is more expensive than the standard episode sets,but in-spite of that it has almost sold out on the Sixteen 12 website. The bright green hangar walls and part of the base is down to Sixteen 12, the rest I added to give the photos a bit of an added dimension.

  4. That is aksuper set-up Scoop! How many Eagles do you think would fit in a full sized hangar?

    1. Thanks Ed. That's a tough one, your guess is as good mount as mine. The number of fictional Eagles that were supposed to exist in the series seemed to run into hundreds, with several getting blown up occasionally.;)

  5. If memory severs, in the episode "The last sunset" where the moon gets an atmosphere. Alan Carter states there are 27 serviceable Eagles on the moon base. This the only reference to the number of eagles on alpha in entire the series. Great pics again.
