Been on a bit of a Bond kick lately with the passing of Sean Connery and my dad getting his FE Golden Gun. I make a search and what do I find? A necro from
doppelganger , who also happens to be the guy responsible for some of my favourite Bond items.
So hoping to revive this one, there isn't near enough 007 love. Show me what you've got!
Sadly I don't have pics right now (boxed up during the holidays) but I *WILL* come back and post some when I can. Until then, this is what I (and my dad, who is a huge Bond fan and I've given him some props as gifts over the years) have:
Dad:
- Odd Job's hat - Goldfinger
- Walther LP53 - Never used in a film, but famous from publicity shots
- Golden Gun (Factory Entertainment)
Me:
- Rebreather - Thunderball (gift from doppelganger)
- Wrist gun and darts - Moonraker (gift from doppelganger)
- Jaws teeth - TSWLM & Moonraker (signed by Richard Kiel)
- Laser gun - Moonraker (My dad broke this one, I need to fix and repaint)
- Walther PPK (both a real one and a replica CO2 pistol)
- Walther P99 (CO2 pistol)
- Playing cards - Casino Royale
- A few playing cards and casino chips - Skyfall
- SPECTRE ring - FRWL
- SPECTRE ring - Spectre
- Watch with data screen - Goldeneye Video Game (from the pause menu)
As for what I collect, I mostly go for my favourite films from the franchise, which includes them all up to OHMSS, The Dalton films, Goldeneye, and the two good Craig movies (CR and Skyfall).
Props that I plan to make or find (more on the make side right now, funds are not abundant. Lol):
- Honey Rider's knife & belt - Dr. No
- Attache case - FRWL (This is my holy grail Bond prop)
- Stabbing shoe - FRWL
- Homing device - Goldfinger
- Gold bar - Goldfinger
- SPECTRE ring - Thunderball
- SPECTRE ring - YOLT (same as Thunderball? Not sure)
- Proximity mine - Goldeneye
BIG ones that I dream of one day doing are the jetpack from Thunderball (non-functioning of course) and a replica of the DB5. Doppelganger and I met in Reading last year and when he told me about converting the MGB into a DB5, frankly, I haven't stopped thinking about it since. It's a "one day maybe" kinda thing, cause it would obviously cost tens of thousands to do... But man... Can you imagine the absolute joy of driving that around town? A man can dream.
