It looks great against the snow good call there.

Murdock

Now to build a life sized replica. ;)

Brilliant @chrisisall

QBranch

That's really cool, @chrisisall. Top marks. Nice touch showing it in the sun with snow landscape. Can we expect to see any Bond models from yourself in future?

Oh wow that turned out great! Looks like a screenshot from the tv show!

Here's the latest additions to the collection- the Drax Air Freight badge and photo of Tatiana:

Found it in a warehouse in Rio

I'm sure I'll recognise this lady when I see her ;)

This Univex card is not featured in any film, but I wanted to create one with the logo from the <a href="http://screenmusings.org/movie/dvd/For-Your-Eyes-Only/images/For-Your-Eyes-Only-0025.jpg">helicopter</a>; and make it a 'what if?' prop for the Moore era.

Just finished some props from AVTAK.

Zorin cheque copy

Zorin microchip- it actually is totally impervious to magnetic pulse damage... because it's made from paper and plastic :))

I made the chip housing and window glass out of a plastic folder.

Really great work @QBranch. Bet all the kids come to you for fake I.D.'s ;-)

QBranch

Cheers @WillyGalore- M doesn't mind me earning a little money on the side. ;)

Murdock

Great work @QBranch. You have got da skillz my friend. :D

QBranch

My first Bond watch prop is finally completed!


It’s the Seiko 0674 from The Spy Who Loved Me. This one took me a while to find, and then, it was just the case I received, so I also had to find a similar bracelet to look the part. The inner module needs repairing, so at the moment I just have a faux screen in there for display purposes.

and with the ‘ticker tape’ message attached


That’s all for now. Gotta run- England needs me ;)

WillyGalore

I'd take more time reading your post but sorry @QBranch, something came up! ;-)

QBranch

That's okay Willy, I understand. The British end can pop up when you least expect it ;)

Murdock

Fantastic work @QBranch. I can hear the ticking sound for when the label is made. ;)

QBranch

Cheers Murdock! I would explain how it works, but it's all rather complicated ;)

Murdock

I'll just take your word for it. ;)

QBranch

This here is the first genuine Bond watch I acquired.


It’s the Seiko M354 from Moonraker. All the functions worked, including the light, but I’ve taken out the module and inserted a faux screen as a permanent display. The bracelet is also by Seiko- it’s neither the original bracelet nor the one seen in the film- but it’s identical, apart from the clasp.


It feels so comfy on the wrist, I had to check I was still wearing it!

With the detonation wire and explosive attached

I made the ‘explosive’ by gluing an earphone cable into a coil- a rather fiddly task, but it turned out well. The gold connector is cut from a pen cartridge, and the steel wire is from a retractable key chain.


Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to blow up exhaust grates so I can crawl into tight spaces with Miss Goodhead ;)

Murdock

I hope we'll see some gratuitious sex and violence. But once again, fantastic work my friend. :)

WillyGalore

Nice work again @QBranch. Don't forget to 'bang on time'. ;-)

Murdock

I always say, the Best Bond gadgets are the ones you can make yourself. ;)

QBranch

Thanks guys! That means a lot.

Just took a few seconds, Willy :\">

Exactly. Did you notice, I made the watch out of cardboard? Pretty spot on, eh? :-B

Murdock

So this is where they keep the old relics in aye?

Exceptional work, @QBranch! I would have thought it was the real thing!

QBranch

Thanks, @MayDayDiVicenzo! I really appreciate the compliment. The microchip was my first completed non-paper prop.

@Murdock Awesome props there! Q highly approves ;) Now let's see your gun cache. That Star Trek collectibles book would be an interesting read.

All in good time. Right now I'm getting ready to hang a peg board on my wall. And thanks That Star Trek collectible book is a great read. It inspired my own trek tech collection. :)

I thought I'd share some work in progress regarding watch gadgets. Unlike the Seikos I posted earlier, I'm making these two here working gadgets. I've a long way to go to get the buzz saw running- I've only put together the face so far. I need to figure out how I'm going to get it to spin, and I guess that all comes down to the right motor and housing. The other one will be the torch from TWINE. There's just a test dial in there ATM to see how the LEDs shine through. The next step is to solder some wires onto the LEDs and construct the battery housing. What I'm really hoping to achieve with both projects is to get them working like seen in the film while not having any parts sticking out or making the casing much thicker than it already is.
