007 Diamonds Are Forever Moon Buggy

[Yorkie Fett]

I've always loved this design but have never seen this appear in kit form.
Apart from the Corgi diecast with the oversize arms, does anyone know if this has been tackled?
It's simple shapes cry out for a large scale version of this. Maybe chunky resin with a nice photo etched radar dish.

There was a card model, done by the James Bond fan club (I think), which I used as a blueprint to make this:

It works out at about 1/25 scale, someone did try to convince me to kit it, but I didn't think there was a market for it...

I would be interested in a copy of the Card Model, do you know if it still available?

That looks very nice. I would like to get hold of one of these.
It looks very well detailed for a card model.
Anyone got any idea if these are still available.

That's not the card model, alas: I used the the card model as a 'net' to cut sheet styrene parts to make this- the sphere on the back is a ping pong ball, but apart from that, everything else is styrene, resin or aluminium.

I have absolutely no idea if the card model is available- I got mine over ten years ago from a stall at the Earl's Court memorabilia fair, and I think in the intervening years, it's been thrown out...

Do you know if a drawing with dimensions is available? Using the above pictures and some basic measurements it would probably not be too hard to create a paper model

I didnt even know stuff like that existed.
