Was finally able to mount the flameguns. It took a while to figure out a neat solution that was also strong enough. They are surprisingly rigid, so i'm able to add additional weight to them, to achieve a tail sitting stance.
I had to reduce the height of the fuel tank, otherwise the engine would have been placed too high.
Started work on the engine by making the shrouds.

Rest in peace, "Dink," Margaret Nolan. She appeared briefly in the poolside scene at the beginning of Goldfinger, but she figured prominently in the title sequence as the deceased golden girl, who of course was played by Shirley Eaton as Jill Masterson in the movie.
This figure was released by Exclusive Premiere Toys over 20 years ago and at approximately 1/12th or dollhouse scale, their quality left much to be desired. Except for the hair (modelled after Ms. Eaton?s), it was Margaret Nolan who I had in mind when I decided to make a few tweaks to this figure that included a partial face repaint (involving only a gold paint marker!) and some changes to the bikini. There are actually a few behind-the-scene photos of Ms. Nolan during the title sequence shoot and I must confess to preferring her physical attributes over Shirley Eatons'. Sad to see another one of the Bond lovelies passing on in such a short amount of time.

There seems to be a Caroline Munro as Vampirella made by Executive Replicas.
Sculpt looks rather good for a Naomi as nice companion for Tux Roger

Yep, but could never find a loose head for any Naomi bash.

Only a little progress recently, as I have had a partial return to work as well as having to do some work on the car.
Building the engine around the electric motor. The framework around it is pretty much the last major assembly work still to do.
Then there's just making a suitable figure to sit in it.

Does anyone have a spare Eleven set?

We all have that life thing to deal with, but, once it's done we can get on with stuff like this.
I'm sure that whatever you come up with will be just as amazing as the rest of this build.

Managed to get back to this over the weekend. Fitted the engine and the support struts and started work on the main rotor.
Did a quick power test, to check there are no vibrations or rattles.
Still to attach the main blades. I will hinge them, so they can fold for storage and avoid breakage if they hit something. If i can find a small variable resistor, i will wire that to the throttle control.

Outstanding! *Runs to find thesaurus to look up more superlatives!*
This is definitely my favorite Bond vehicle project so far! I just love Little Nellie.
That said, what ever happened to the Wet Bike?

I have the stickers for it drawn up, but so as not to waste the sticker paper, i'm also working on some i need for my Star Trek helm console to print on the same sheet.
I'm using the printer at work, so have limited access to it.
Looking fantastic!!! Love Little Nellie!!
One by sea, one by sky -- looking forward to both.
RIP Sean connery...the greatest James bond
I heard he was ill for some time, but its still a shocker when a legend dies. Best Bond by far.
