    Here's Little Nellie! 90s reissue of a 60s kit - she was not easy to put together. However did Q and his assistants manage it so fast?

    I printed some screenshots onto photo quality paper and mounted on foamboard for the backdrop.

    @Agent_99 It turned out really nice, great job with the paint and decals! The pack ended up being the perfect size too. I must admit Dalton looks good in a cream tux (2nd pic down).

    All in all, another neat addition to the shrine collection. Speak Lark.

    Thank you! I did consider an ivory jacket - that's a look we was robbed of!

    Cool! As soon as soon as I have an office, I can convert our home-office into a hobby-room. I might finally be able to pick some of these up. definately eying the tiger!

    Great news on the Revell kits. Would love to see the Q-boats in kit form one day.

    It's a shame I've already done a Tiger...and a 2CV...eyeing up the Z8 though!

    True, I already bought an Italeri Tiger and Revell shuttle (with 747). Future projects when I've made a bit more room on the shelves. I like the idea of making my own decals though.

    Once you buy decal printer paper you never go back!

    Don't think I've applied decal paper before - maybe way back as a kid. I did a test print on decal paper and it came out super sharp compared to the matte white adhesive paper I usually buy for props. A bit hesitant about applying a wet label over any painted surface, but I suppose as long as it's enamel and not the water soluble acrylic paint it should be right I think.

    There is a small and potentially unofficial toy on Aliexpress, albeit oddly stretched:

    I wish their Aston V8 was in stock, I'd probably get that!

    Ooh, the proportions are quite off aren't they. I was given a Kyosho 1:72 Q-Boat that comes with a trading card, but would be cool to have something bigger, around 1:32.

    Are those the Suntory ones that were given away with coffee (I think??)? I have the V8 Vantage, also from AliExpress, and it's a very cute little model with pull-back action.

    The outriggers are more detailed than Corgi's!

    Sweet. Corgi could pay attention to the wheels too (I'm looking at you, NTTD Vantage).

    Completed the Fujimi Bond Car Submarine to my satisfaction! I've used the same type of display case for all the cars I've made, but I decided to diorama this one up a bit.

    Real nice work, @Agent_99! And might I add, no Bond collection is complete without a fish!

    Hello, scale modelers -

    I think (or hope) you may be interested in what I posted today on the Bond Geoguesser thread, although it's 1:87 scale. Cheers!
