Seeing those Eagles on screen again along with the crew of Alpha would be fantastic.

I remember fondly an Eagle that I'd built that was "falling apart" so I decided to "battle damage" it...scortch marks, etc. Then a final crash landing in the backyard.
Not as bad a fate as what I did to one of my Vipers, though. The scale of teh model was just such that model rocket engines fit well into the holloed out model's engines. Gave new meaning to "Launch all Vipers"!
Needless to say, the second attempt was going to necessitate some additional structural work to contain the engines better
