JAMES BOND - Original creations

[chilipep66]

Thanks guys! It’s just on a standard hot toys narrow shoulder. It’s all in the tailoring. I’ve seen it look great on the world box “dad bod” too

The BCS sculpt was always top notch, the paint app and new suit really puts the fig into a different level.

That's surprising. To my mind though, that would still bring him in at under scale height for Connery. If the trouser legs on the suit would allow it there are slightly taller TT clones around that would make him correct. When I did my Henry Jones, I put the lower legs from Indy's original Prometheus onto a narrow TT and that made the height correct. I was shocked to find that, even though tailored for a Prometheus with much shorter legs, the trousers were still a perfect fit.

It's a brilliant paint job by Rahmier, but unfortunately I think it highlights that slightly exaggerated and cartoonish look the sculpt has compared to the much better Dr No sculpt.

wanted to share this new upgrade, Jake Rahmiers repaint of the BigChief on the yunsil suit. Couldn't be happier!

Great looking Bond

 

[abake]

Amazing.
My only criticism would be the use of the metal fasteners for the vest, there's these tiny plastic ones that would've worked much better.
But it's a non-issue really. Fantastic figure. I shudder to think how much it cost to put together.

Ah yes... perfection.

Your collection must be insane.

We doin villains here?
My completed Silva made possible with the brilliant Yh Ha sculpt (Still waiting to make a Bond to join him)

Quick update, finished the headlamp pods. Installing the LEDs should not take long. I used a set of RC spotlights. The lenses are a little undersized, but it's the closest thing i could find.







I've had to take a little break from this, as i have developed a RSI related injury in my left arm. Caused by my job and excessive whittling of Plasticard in my spare time. I'm off to Tokyo at the end of the month, so the 2 week break should hopefully allow it to recover.

This is probably a little far fetched, but I thought I'd ask here for a little help with acquiring a headsculpt, or perhaps displaying/gaining interest for one.

Whilst BCS and DID are making LALD era Roger Moore, I'm over here wanting something a little....older. My favourite of Roger's movies is, believe it or not, A View to a Kill, with TSWLM a close second. Say what you want about Moore's dodgy facelift and the fact he was 57: Chris 'Walken and Grace Jones is a killer combination.

So, I'm sure you can see what I'm looking for. In case you haven't figured it: I'd absolutely love to make a figure of Roger Moore, as James Bond, as of AVTAK, perhaps even Octopussy. Having him in a tuxedo, PPK in hand, in the crouched pose as of the Eithel Tower scene, firing up the steps at an escaping Mayday...to me, that's iconic, and I want to recreate it.

Any suggestions? Y'all seem to know great things about 007 customs, so what would you all advise? I was considering "aging" an existing headsculpt, but don't trust myself!

On another subject, anyone know a good source for a cheap Walther P99? My Sideshow Brosnan has been without for about 10 years.

When and where was that Mina sculpt offered, Ray? I must've missed that

RSI is no picnic, my Dad developed it while working in a turkey factory, he had to take early retirement. Hope yours doesn't get any worse.

There were pics here!

Very nicely done, not sure I've seen that Craig before. I've sold mine now, my Juniper Connery is all the Bond I need now and my focus has shifted towards garage kits, busts and statues.

Great paintup Ray!

Is that on the coulson body? That’s what I’m putting mine on but how does the scale look in hand?

Does the head look too big? Assessing whether to put onto a narrow TT instead?

Thanks!

 

[Raymond F.]

Thanks man! My honest opinion is that yes it might skew on the big side sadly. At first I thought it was just right but I’ve come around to accepting its a tad bit. Not problematic big like not only the first, but also the second balloon man heads, but enough still that you notice it.

This was on a worldbox narrow with the neck removed and the shoulders shaved.

The tux, which I’ve come to sort of of hate because I realize it’s highly inaccurate struggles a bit because it’s too small in the shoulders so it bulges on a regular TT.

Last night I put it on a bank robber joker body with the shortest style HT neck plug and the longer style (Han solo) HT ankle extenders. It looks better now not as big and more proportionate to the body and it’s still a bit shorter than whatever I have going on with Connery and Brosnen which is what I want but he’s still a tad larger than I wanted too.

I’ll post new pictures another time!

I'm thinking that the Bank Robber Joker was an original Narrow TT. Mine was on a DID body (The newer type.) and I think it scaled just right.

 

[Raymond F.]

The BR joker body has the same old same old TT legs. Biceps and shoulders from the HT advanced body and the torso from the coulson body. I might have had a similar result from the HT advanced body but I don’t have those anymore.

I first tried it on the HT Neo body and it looked good but his shoulders are more narrow so it didn’t really offset the head too much. Plus his arms are shorter and that did not help with one of the many problems with this tux: that the sleeves are too long

That’s pretty disappointed it’s oversized a tad, I must say.

Taken the excitement away a little.

 

[Raymond F.]

Don’t think balloon man big it’s workable.

If I could change one thing about the head it would be to slim the temples are of his head. I think that’s where the large feeling is mostly coming from as it’s comparable to other HT heads vertically.

Since I Art Directed this head, I know all the rounds of changes we asked for we had to call it a day at a certain point it’s only fair to the artist as you could go on forever and ever. I would have slimmed the sides of the head and made the eyes slightly smaller in retrospect.

Not deal breakers by any means as this is now the one to beat in terms of Daniel Craig sculpts by an amazingly talented sculptor.
