Yup. An excellent source for teeth (an Austin MUST) is Dr. Bukk.

I have 2 sets of these "teef", and they are of excellent quality. You can wear them while drinking (and to a certain extent, eating). They look very very real and stay in place quite well if you form them right.

Here's a couple of pics of my Austin...
My friend Ken ( a make-up artist back in the 80's) did my teeth for me.
We went to Davis Dental (a dental supply house in Los Angeles) and got the stuff to cast my upper teeth and make a custom dental appliance.
This was a while ago, but the materials, including teeth, were less that $100.
In a couple of hours, I had my choppers

Thanks guys on the teeth advice.
I picked this original blue velvet suit recently,

unfortuatly i am little too big for it (time for a diet!!!) I've looked it getting it altered but I don't want to ruin it as it's a proper vintage piece, so I am now going to get a larger one and sell this one on.

I tried a few different store-bought wigs, but nothing fit my big melon.
I got VERY lucky and through connections go one of Mike Myers actual "Goldmember" wigs. Human hair, custom-made, colored and styled.
You actually need to go to a wig shop and try them on, don't just buy something from the Internets, they NEVER look as good as the picture.

Recommend watching, "In Like Flint." J/k. If you need frames similar to the ones used by Austin, you may want to check Spencers gifts. I know they have glasses in the Wayfarer design. They may not be black, but I'm sure a bit of spray paint couldn't solve that problem. Just an idea, of course.

Has anyone in the UK got the contact details of a decent tailor / seamstress who could make a replica velvet suit?
Also are the neck and cuff ruffles just add ons or are they part a shirt underneath, and if so where can one get such a shirt?

I was on the RPF looking at 007 props and stumbled on my old thread from years ago!
I finished the Austin Costume! I lost a bit weight and the suit fitted fine.

Smashing baby!!!!
