I still say it is doable. If damage in shipping is an issue, make it in kit form. Snap the parts together and we're good.

I may pick up the old Airfix kit in 1/24 scale just to have it for the display.

Ok, thanks. And in your opinion which one is the best choice for sideshow body? With the least modifications

I concur with the the others said. I recommend a HT clone, which I've used for Daniel Craig. You can search for "ttm21" on eBay and they're very inexpensive. The old Sideshow bodies that were used for the Bond figures are too tall anyway for a Daniel Craig figure. Here's a ttm21 body I used:

I have that kit. Paid a small fortune for it in 1990. I also have the Corgi Nellie -- same exact thing, just sturdier.

Naked Craig in chair waiting for knot-pounding is creepy.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Thanks, Wor-Gar. I'll look into the Corgi version as well.


And I agree - knot-pounding (or is it nut-pounding) naked Craig is indeed creepy...

The old Toys City Gestapo Craig head would work with the old buck.

Possibly, it isn't that good a head though.

There are several Corgi Little Nellies out there. You can get one with Bond in the cockpit, one without, and there is a slightly larger one that came out for the anniversary. It's the same as the 1/24 one really, just slightly larger, somewhere around 1/16 I think.

Ken Wallis, the man that built and flew her, lived in Reymerston which is near me in Norfolk. I used to see him fly her at local airshows and saw him and her at the local aviation museum in his later years.

That is too cool, Rogerbee.

And thanks for the pics of the Corgi models.

 

[Rogerbee]

The larger one is still widely available. The others could probably be found on eBay.

After getting the one with the Connery figure from Corgi (Director’s Cut!), then Eaglemoss, I stopped paying attention to the subsequent releases...and was totally oblivious about the size of the most recent one!

Rogerbee, if you have this version and if it’s not too much trouble, can you please post a pic of it with a ruler? Thanks in advance!

 

[Wor-Gar]

I can't find the size differences. Are you sure one is larger?

Little Nellie You Only Live Twice 50th Anniversary Model is 1/36.

 

[Rogerbee]

I think Corgi slipped up there. The box it comes in is the standard size box for their 1/36 cars. They fit in them nose to tail. If you picture a car in that box then it's plain as day that Little Nellie is a lot larger in scale than a 1/36 car. If you place the 1/24 one next to a 1/24 car it looks tiny. A 1/36 Little Nellie would be minute.
I've seen the current one in shops and it is definitely larger than 1/36.

Thanks, Rogerbee and Wor-Gar. Good points. I have the re-issued Airfix kit, unbuilt that I’ll have to look for to compare with 1/24 and 1/36 scale cars, and with the older Corgi Little Nellies I have.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I'd love to find this larger Little Nellie... but I can't for the life of me tell which one is the larger. I guess I have to wait to see it for myself in hand but with no more TRU I'm not sure where to go to find this.

Using my Xmas holiday to embark on a big scale project. I've dismantled an Autoart 1/18 model, and am using it to take dimensions from. 3 days into it so far. The wedge design lends itself to being replicated in plasticard more easily.

Looks great, cant wait to see it finished. The white Lotus is my fav Bond car.

“My name is Sterling, Robert Sterling.” Love the outfit!

 

[Rogerbee]

Nice one! I have that model myself, it does look to be a very accurate model of a Lotus Esprit.
