Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

oh and if anybody who is painting up DC bond heads I still have one that needs to be commissioned for paint up PM me. I'm so lazy but the new teaser for Spectre has me jacked up on Mountain Dew.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

This is great stuff man, bravo....but he never wore the tux in Skyfall right? Only Casino Royale and QOS.

he did, in Macao.

Who sculpted it?

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

That trailer might be live, but, word is that Modern Life are on hold. Info is very sketchy with no official word. I found out on OSW in a reply from Fabio at KP.

If true, that is really disappointing news. It would probably explain Modern Life's website not leading to anything though.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

This is what Fabio said word for word:

"Hi guys.

1) Yes, I confirm ML head projects (all their projects) are suspended.
I got this information from the USA distributor.

2) I will not leave you alone
As you know KP take ALWAYS care of the fan feedback.
Soon I will give you updates on the matter.
Something will be announced soon by KP.
It's a PROMISE.

that would mean KP will be buying the rights to release that figure by partnering up with ML right?

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I am excited about Spectre, DC has done a fantastic job. I just painted up a bunch of heads and finally have my BBkill DC painted up with a tux.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Is that the BBkill DC v. 2 sculpt?

Pass, only Fabio knows that one and it was only the Conan heads they were tied to, the rest are still up in the air.

Anyone know a good source for a 1/6 black peaked lapel tuxedo jacket? I need to get an outfit moving for my Brosnan Bond!

I'm looking for one myself and there are no good ones from what I can gather!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

This is the only one I could find, and seems to be what most here are using:

1/6 Scale ZCWO Mens Hommes Vol.013 Tuxedo Set - ZC World 1/6 Scale Accessories

Not really sure if the lapels are quite as wide as they should be, but looks like it's probably the best we can get.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Sigh, really having trouble deciding on a suit for Craig. I've got a Goldfinger suit coming for Connery and a black tux for Brosnan, and would like to get some kind of gray suit for Craig, but there's nothing that really looks like a great match with what he wore on screen.

These seem like the best bets:



I kinda like the one at the end, even if it's a bit dark up close.

Or maybe I could go for the blue-gray suit, where this seems to be a decent match, even if the pinstripes are a bit more obvious:



Any suggestions or preferences?

I'd also love to know where people are finding a light blue shirt as well, btw.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Kato will be doing the Skyfall suit he wears in the scene when Parliament is attacked soon apparently.

Definitely not a bad option at all, but it looks more like a notch lapel than a peak lapel to me which would be more suited to either the Connery or Moore Bond vs the Brosnan Bond. Its probably the best option on the market right now though.

Its a shame that nothing ever happened with Kato's blue skyfall tux. I would have loved to see the finished product!

Ah yeah, I see what you mean now. Oh well, frankly I was happy enough just to find a tuxedo set that had lapels of any kind.

Although one thing I might try is making some separate peak lapels, attaching them to the inside of the jacket, and folding those over the current lapels (if that makes any sense). With the suit being so dark it should hopefully blend together well and look pretty natural.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I do actually prefer Dave's suggestions, but only because they are affordable. You might have to watch the tailoring though and it's not entirely clear what bodies they're using.
