SF&F Issue 9 contains a special section spotlighting one of the most popular fictional spacecraft ever to grace the small screen - the Space: 1999 Eagle:
In the definitive feature on the subject, David Sisson, master model maker and owner of the forty-four inch Eagle One studio miniature, shows and tells us how he set about the restoration of this priceless original. His profusely illustrated article includes many shots specially taken for our title, bringing you everything you want to know about the Eagle's construction, including all those usually hidden nooks and crannies. We also take a trip to Eagletranspoter.com, a website and forum for Eagle builders and enthusiasts. As you'd expect, our article is fact-and photo-packed. Steve Davies takes you step by step through his scratch construction of a three-feet-square Eagle pad. We review Warp's nuclear waste pod and Eagle manipulator arm kits.
And, as if that wasn't enough, there's our usual giant helping of special features…
