JAMES BOND - Original creations

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Excuse these garbage camera phone pics, my slr is at the office and god knows I'm too lazy to shoot this some other time.


I'm loving my ski spectre Craig. For fifty bucks that magic box set is just unreal, better than most custom tailored sets worth four to five times the price. On an Obi wan, put the eleven head on it with the black box watch and ppk and throw in some homemade ski glasses and for roughy 150 you have a figure that is as top of the line as can be.

He's on the obi wan, but the jacket adds a lot of bulk so it balances out the head i have every body under the sun and I tried the outfit on a lot of things and it looked off on many.

The head does have an enhanced likeness, I brought it out around his eyes which you can't see on these anyways behind his glasses.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Really nice paint up!

Is this the 'non-squeezed' version? The likeness has good points. The .gif in the previous post shows the weaknesses though.

Yeah, bro. Non squeezed, lol.

The glasses make the likeness better!

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Awesome Bond, Ray! I'm so tempted to make a Spectre Craig but I need to see the movie again. And isn't that Blackbox watch amazing? I love it.

And great paintwork, T-squared!

Nice work Ray, you really turned him around there.

They're all squeezed unfortunately. I had a copy from each run and they're identical. Maybe some people got a copy from the first run that was more squeezed than others, but the second run still has a pinched face compared to the back of the head - if you look at it from above or below, the head is tear-drop shaped. A good paint-up like T's will help a great deal, but it's a real shame that none of the casts look quite as good as the original sculpt made the head appear.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Rocco's best bond to date js the second Dalton. I recently completed my Dalton it holds up almost to the rest. I wish someone would attempt Roger Moore again, he suffered the most

Lazenby was just too big

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Pixel, first, thank you, brother. And second, I agree. It is oddly shaped. I had it replaced for my customer, and although it was noticeably better than the first VERY pinched face, it is still off... By quite a bit I hate to say. Side profile bares very little resemblance to Craig IMO. So yes... Still waiting around for that perfect Craig sculpt. BBkill is definitely close enough, but not perfect. And Raymond, I agree about Moore too. I did the best I could in the paint department, and while it certainly did help, and at the risk of sounding arrogant, probably the best the sculpt is going to look, trying to find Moore in it is still a struggle. I want you Bond guys to have those perfect sculpts! Lord knows you guys deserve it. [emoji6]

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Inigo's for BCS might be good if you paint them.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Hey, guys. Finally got around to finishing up a Rocco Daniel Craig. Hope you like. [emoji6]

holy smokes that looks incredible! I've been hesitating to paint mine as I wasn't sure how it would come out. Hopefully I can do mine as much justice as you've done youres

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

You know, after finally seeing Spectre... I'm not really feeling Craig as Bond anymore and I get the sense that neither is he. I still wish they went with Clive Owen instead. It's good to see him back as "The Driver" in a new BMW film.

Clive Owen is box-office poison, you will never EVER see him as Bond.

Oh I don't have any hope for that anymore. More expressing my dissatisfaction with Craig. Man was he stiff in Spectre.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Didn't Spectre also under perform? I wonder if more peeps also picked up on this.

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

It did compared to skyfall which was the first bond to hit 1 billion but the truth is it came close at 8 hundred million and it was far higher than casino and quantum, in fact this is why they almost are close to locking in Craig for another one. Proven box office draw, they want him so bad they are delaying the release of the next one until 2018 to convince him to sign.

Even though they think his public bashing of the role and movie the week before cost them tens of millions of dollars.

In any case apparently the guys who are neck and neck if he does not accept the role is Jack Houston and Tom Hiddleston

Re: Custom JAMES BOND THREAD

Nothing wrong with Craig, they just need better scripts/stories. Casino Royale was far and away the best of the bunch. Tighter scheduling would also be ideal - WTF is the guy doing until 2018?
