Excellent ship Bob!  I've actually never seen this show but I have seen the
eagle before. I really like what you did around the dome on the font.

This one will go good along with your civilian transports at the Galactic
Shipyard.

Cool.

It has been a while since I have built any space ships.  I was really
inspired by the great space stuff that people brought to BrickFest (Bram's
Q-35 Space Plane for one) - so I have made time to build and I have • started
putting the ideas in my head into brick.

I give you the "Eagle 2" transport -

(more pictures to come)

see also some nice sharp pictures Daniel Staudt took of the ship
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=5975

The ship is very much a take off of the Eagle from Space 1999
(http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Launchpad/9782/eagle/eagle3v.jpg).
I did not have the parts to make an acurate model of an Eagle, so I did • not even
try, but it can be done.  Jeurgon Luettgen has a picure of a NICE looking
start to an acurate model Eagle -

I set out to build a ship that had a quarter dome cockpit, big engines, a
center container that can detach, and some "playability".  You have to be
able to "zoom" a space ship.  The Eagle 2 can be picked up and held by the
center beam and "flown."  The ship is pretty strong (and heavy).

Anyway - LMKWYT.
