new to Forum....a James Bond prop of interest...

[fanofprops]

Long time lurker, 1st time Poster.....have enjoyed the posts and the Member interation.

I have been in search for a remote entry key for the Aston Martin DBS and have found it almost impossible to obtain an real one....and real ones could cost upwards of $1,000.00 from the dealership network!

I just thought this would be a neat item to have for the James Bond fan to have alongside the trusty Walther PPK (or P99!).

Here is what an original one looks like:

Any ideas on replicating the piece ?

Cheers.

Hey, good to see you here. Welcome.

Cool piece, didn't know Aston's had this for an iginition key. As to the build:

- Acrylic polished top
- logo as dry transfer, or cheapo as print.
- black acrylic body with machined and polished buttons. Buttons have engraved graphics filled with white paint.
- brass, or metal plated (?) housing, machined.

Should not be too difficult...

Cheers,

Wasili

Good idea. As far as Bond props go I have a P99 in the mail but that's about it lol

So who can gen one up for me? Are there Members here that would like to tackle the task? I would pay for this service of course and the feedback I have been receiving it would seem a viable item that would sell to make the project build worthwhile....
