I can't believe I never knew of this site.

I watched Space:1999 first run in Kansas. I can't remember the station, but I do remember having to watch it on the tv in my parents bed room as my sister had first choice of the shows on the main tv.

I also remember it was on Sundays and pretty spotty as to when it was on. I watched the clock like a hawk on Sundays and was all excited when it was time only to be crestfallen when I found that it wasn't on that week.

Ah, the memories.

Steve Gerard · 01-02-2010, 01:29 PM

kaimaru, welcome aboard.

Hi to all. I've been watching this forum for a couple of years now, and finally decided to sign up!
I work in Orlando, Fl by NASA as an engineer and semi-pro modeler in the Space industry.
Can anyone tell me how to put an avatar up next to my posts?

Thanks,

Adam

Wecome. ajamodels. There's a section in 'The Commanders Office' on images and image posting I think you have to import it from an image hosting site not your drive. Your id/home page has the menus. I may be wrong (note my lack of avatar).

Bad news about NASA yesterday. Or so it played in the British media. The Times had a cartoon of an oriental astronaut on the moon. Caption was 'One small step for the China, one giant kick in the balls for America.'

**Interceptor6** · 03-02-2010, 12:05 AM

Yeah!!! More Yanks!
Welcome Kaimaru & Adam! Glad to have you aboard!
NeoGoglu, I think you've been unanimously volunteered to host the next forum gathering!
Incredible work!
Cheers,
Jeff

**NeoGoglu** · 03-02-2010, 10:33 AM

Hey, just found this site a few weeks ago. I can't believe that there is a forum for my all-time favorate space ship...the EAGLE!! I watched Space 1999 growing up, and had more toys from the show than I can remember...and I kick myself every single day for not hanging on to all of them. I've had all three (white, green, blue) Dinky Eagles, and the huge Mattell Eagle. Now all that I have is parts for a blue Dinky eagle that I found at a garage sale. Anyway, looking forward to learing some great info on here...
Just a note: I'm also a huge Stargate fan (if you couldn't already tell from my user name).

aggiev · 10-02-2010, 08:05 AM

I remember the series as a kid but my interest was rekindled recently after being involved an a 1999 fan film...i'm amazed by the depth of knowledge and skill here

Welcome Maj. John Sheppard, you are among friends. Your Space:199 history sounds like mine too.

Since your holy grail prop is this, check out this thread:

Welcome aggiev too!

phasernut · 15-02-2010, 05:14 AM

Hi all. I've been a member since 2007, but I just did the reading of all the great info everyone here has.

I love sci-fi, but my favorites are Star Trek, Space 1999, Star Wars. I was 13 when 1999 came on TV. I was hooked. I love the Eagle. I put the stungun as my 2nd favorite weapon (Trek TOS phaser has always been my #1 addiction, er, I mean love)

As soon as the model kits came out, I bought the Eagle and then the Moonbase Alpha kits. I never could find a decent stungun back then. The only semi decent picture available was in the "Making of Space 1999" (which I still have). They made those stungun water guns though. I cut it down, cut off the trigger, and shot my share of imaginary aliens. The innocence of childhood..I even sent a letter to Pinewood Studios. I asked that if they had any spare stunguns laying around could I get one. I actually got a letter back from them, with the bad news of no, none available.

I have never scratch built anything. just put together model kits. Though I hadn't done that for awhile, as my wife was complaining I was spending too much money for the hobby.

My Space 1999 collection is incredibly small. I have 1 Product Enterprise 12" eagle. I've got 2 stunguns; One is from CY Productions, already built and painted. The other is a Sidkit. I've had it for several years, but I finally put it together about a month ago. As soon as I'm allowed to post pics, I post some of the Sidkit. I thought it turned out ok for my first build in years.

Thanks for having this site!

Glad to see you have left your sanity at the door, you don't need it here!

Also glad to see someone else interested in 1:1 scale replica phasers and the like.

Steve Gerard · 15-02-2010, 01:42 PM

phasernut, your Space:1999 history is just like mine.

Good to know you are among friends here.

Just joking. All friends here

OldMattelEagle · 23-02-2010, 04:53 AM

Just found the site this week as well. At almost 41 years old I grew up on the show. Just this week my mother gave me my Mattel Eagle from the attic. After cleaning about 25+ years of dust off it, I plan to do the ultimate overhaul on what was my favorite childhood toy...cant wait to get started.

Welcome OldMattelEagle you are among friends. Good luck on the Mattel Eagle overhaul. I still have mine too from 1976, when I got it as a boy.

Man, I wish I still had my Mattel Eagle...I even remember the day my parents mad me throw it away because it was broken and missing too many parts (like Koenig, I crashed my Eagle 1 a few too many times). I also lost track of my Dinky eagle freighter, and all but the pod on my Dinky transporter. Fortunately, I just scored a complete Dinky Eagle on ebay about an hour ago, and I have the parts to another one that I am rebuilding, so my small fleet is on it's way to being built.
