Hello mate, yeah The Living Daylights book is now a must have! I'm really savouring this book and I just had to watch OHMSS again the other night even though it's usually a Christmas watch 😁
Well I am off to see OHMSS on the big screen in 2 weeks! Cant wait!
Enjoy mate. Should be a great experience 👍

I noticed that, and I like it too. A while back I made a couple of posters for the film. In one, I ended up making Scaramanga bigger than Bond, and in the other, I placed him on the left side and Bond on the right. I think that works well for this film as it makes it seem like Scaramanga is a powerful threat to Bond. Goes with the film tagline as well: "He never misses his target, and now his target is 007."
How do you get these custom steelbooks made? Looks beautiful btw.
He makes them mostly for himself but as a personal favor to me, he was kind enough to make steels of my favorite Bond movies.
I choose all the artwork, which I then send to him to print and do his magic.
The case itself is coming along nicely:
You may be on to something here. I bet someone would buy.
Listen, paper is made out of trees, not the other way around. Perhaps you think windmills run on electricity and produce wind as well?
Oh, very nice. I'd missed seeing some props from you.
Did you have to do much image editing to get the safecracking side of the case right? I don't recall if the film shows it at an angle or something that would require one to fix the perspective.
Well you got me there, Thundy.😉
@mattjoes You see a nice close-up of the screen as it opens the lock. That final shot shows the 4-digit combination. The image did need some minor skewing to get it straight, but I also isolated all the squares and text and put them on a new grey background. Then I just had to resize the black border to get it to fit.
A few more I haven't shown here yet:
CD is from TWINE.
I am always soliciting offers.
I was always curious about the fact Bond and Madeleine carry basic cellphones with them in the NTTD PTS. I'm not an expert on the subject of phones, so maybe I'm wrong, but I would imagine smartphones are more closely associated with the luxury that is typical of a Bond film. I wonder if that choice was made for visual and practical purposes, for example, Bond looks better using a small, simple phone in the PTS rather than a large one. And later in the film, he carries a smartphone, because the respective scene requires him to take some snapshots of the map of Safin's island.
I also had the original paperback of Moore’s diary covering the filming of LALD, and a first hardcover printing of Amis’ COLONEL SUN which I had bought in a used bookstore for a dollar. I have no idea what happened to my old books. I never lived in one place for more than three years until I was in my 40s. I was quite used to things just disappearing.
The first Bond comic book, DC Showcase: DOCTOR NO, which I bought at a comic book convention in NYC in the ‘70s for $20. I recently saw it going for a couple of thousand. Destroyed in a flood after my mother moved to Delaware and stored any old boxes in a basement which was flooded.
All gone.
Damn, that's a nice ghetto blaster! Is it in working nick?
Isn't that always the way. But I'm glad you had those things as a kid and played with them!
