I'm building a 44 inch reproduction Eagle and in researching the project I have learned the source of some recogniseable Eagle parts. On the top of the pods there are little round bumps with a small raised line extending from it. It has an off center ring on the top. They are pieces of kit from a Revell 1:24 scale Gemini Capsule . There are Two astronauts in there that I'm told are the basis for the Alphans in the 5 inch Moonbuggy and in the 44 inch Eagle. On one version of the Eagle there are rectangular groved things on the edge above the directional thrusters. These are also in this kit. There might also be some pieces of this kit behind the cage of the body. Can anyone tell me the source of any other Eagle parts? I searched for the Gemini kit for these parts and I think the detail will help make this model very accurate to the original one(s).

Ok, I'm late but better now than never... ;-) Here's the translation of the actual review of Marcy's site as can be seen in "Planete Internet Quebec", vol. 1, no. 4 (March 1997)... Enjoy! From the article "Etes-vous branches culte?" (VERY approximate translation: Are you into cult tv?...Whatever.... As they say, traditorre, trahitore.... ;-) ): "(...)The Space 1999 Cybermuseum (www.buffnet.net/~mk/1999.html) seems to be the ideal base (Alpha?) to rediscover the world of John, Helena, Alan and all their Courreges-dressed friends from the '70's. In addition to a well-supplied list of links, you can discover wonderful pictures et read novels from fans." ...That's approximately it, give or take a few translation mistakes. There is a picture of the main page of the Cyber Museum with the old link to get there. VERY short but fun. Unfortunately, the reviewer obviously went through the site before Marcy moved it to its new location. Hopefully, this can prove to be only a minor inconvenience. Courreges? The article seems to compare the Alphans' uniform to the Courreges outfits from the '70's. Question: what?!? ;-) Anybody knows this '70's fashion reference? Marcy, Catherine, anyone? Help this poor brain of mine, please! :-) And now, for the Quebec folks, the actual text: "Enfin le cybermuseum Cosmos 1999 (www.buffnet.net/~mk/1999.html) semble etre le camp de base (Alpha?) ideal pour (re)decouvrir tout l'Univers de John, Helena, Alan et leurs amis lookes Courreges des '70's.

Hi Faith & all alphans, I'm not too sure if I'd address that Y1 was troubled by wooden characters. I've always liked the subtle emotional ties they developed in Y1 that maybe wasn't overtly address by "character development". The gentle reassuring hug of Sandra by the Commander in "War Games" or one of my favorite scene in "Another Time Another Place" when Victor is talking about the order of the universe and pats Johns belly. At the age 11 I was very tied to all the characters and enjoyed how they constantly address their harsh environment. Maybe Helena should have let down her hair on occasions (ie like dancing in OMOH) however it may have been too soon. Realizing they were adjusting to Alpha as a "new" home must have taken some time. As I watch the show now I'm amazed at how well it's held up. For my 33 birthday my husband bought me all of y1 on video. (thanks gregg for taping them) Wow, uncut!

Oh and BTW this tape has a couple of other items on it all mostly poor to good quality. Gerry Anderson at a TV show with fanderson people (SOrt of This is your life sort of thing) A couple of andrson related ice cream commercials, the famous Alien Invasion desert topping commercial in which desert toppings are launch to fight off approaching alien pies or some such thing (Starlog had an article about this titled alien attack) This is no relation to the ALien Attack 1999 movie. Also on the tape are promos for every episode of 1999 (AT oeast the 1st season) It consists of the name of the episode and running the opening credits including the "This Episode" Sequence. I think thats everything on that tape. And no I havn't gotten around to making a cool label for it yet like I did with my 1999 tapes. (And still working on my UFO tapes labels ...
