We lost Mr. Anderson yesterday. This MOC was always a fine and fitting tribute to Anderson's work, but...well...it just feels a little more important now. Thank you for keeping this work posted. I hope there might be an update to celebrate a life that brought so much wonder and excitement to so many people. RIP Gerry Anderson 14 April 1929 – 26 December 2012

am working on my own version-my airlocks open and making interior as close as possible-would appreciate any advice from your designs-plz contact for personal chat- thanks.

very good progress!!! although ambitious!

Awesome MOC! I just discovered this while searching through postings on Eagletransporter.com. Have you made any additional progress? I'll be checking back from time to time to look for progress. :-)

Very nice! Looking forward to seeing this completed.

Superb!

Are you anywhere near finished with this yet? I really am looking forward to the final version!!!

Pretty cool, Dude!

Looks very promissing! Great build so far. Your MOC contains a lot technical challenges, very impressive. I know it can be difficult to stay focused at one model, especially when it takes a lot of time to complete it. But great you picked it up again.

Hi Melody, sorry about my late reply: This was my biggest problem too, especially because I needed some space inside the pods for the suspension of the "legs". I uses brackets (44728)... it's difficult to explain in words, but I used wedge plates (30503) underneath the corner parts. The studless sides facing each other, the studs looking up and down. Then I used the brackets (short sides on plates) to fix the plates in these positions, by connection the "long sides" of the brackets (one bracket points upwards, the other downwards). I don't know, if this makes any sense... but I guess if you try it yourself, you'll see, what I'm getting at... hopefully. Cheers, R.

Okay I finally found the pieces, they are 30079,30080, and 57587 or 60288. Now my question is how are the 30079's mounted upside down?

What brick is used at the corners of the outboard pods. I have searched for more than 3 hours on bricklink and peeron without success. I have used the search terms 3x3, slope, 33, 45, wedge, corner all to no success. Also what part is the large hemisphere at the front of the engine nozzles? Havent searched as long but i did use these terms 7x7 , hemisphere, curve. Please help.

I had a diecast model of this when I was a kid! Your work is simply amazing!

really awesome. had a model of one as a kid, this one is looking great.

Looking fantastic. One of my all-time favs in the space genre. Really looking forward to seeing it finished!

Please hurry up, i'm a big fan of this ship and can't wait to see how you tackle the nose. Looks brill so far though!!

Ingenious, keep up the good work!

Yes, they are: They are spring-loaded and move in when you set down the model, although just a bit (about 1 to 1.5 inches).

Ron, I gotta ask...are those functioning moveable sprung legs? Thx!

This is, by far, the most complex Lego Eagle I’ve seen so far! I just had to share your amazing work with some other “Eagle nuts”: http://www.eagletransporter.com/forum/showthread.php?p=104322#post104322 Can't wait to see the final result! Jorge

Yes, I would if I could. But one of the parts needed is very rare in white. Therefore I would have had to buy it in like 20 different Bricklink shops at enormous prices. Therefore I settled for the gray framework. But it can always be changed in the future, when the part in question becomes available in larger quantities.

That's looking superb. You will change it to a white framework of course?

So big and cool!

Whoa - that looks like its going to be dead on. I cant wait to see the finished product. Very nice MOC.

SO COOL!, it appears you have made the top piping very accurate, Gerry Anderson would be very proud of your efforts. ~Martin
