    I'd like to do the nylon "wetsuit" with the white dinner jacket. As for other Bonds, yes I'd like to do others. Probably Brosnan before Moore, however, it's rather expensive to commission a bust. The best way to do it would be to to get a bunch of people together to pool the money for the commission. In the mean time, I'll probably be doing an article for Sico about the process.

    Superado,

    Sounds cool. I need to get myself an LP53 as well. That's an item I've been after for a long while. Believe me, I understand about other areas of collecting too, I'm just as afflicted. Can't wait to see your results.

    Scaramanga1,

    Thanks for the kudos, I really appreciate it. There are so many things I want to do, and so liitle time. By the way, I'd also like to do a villain bust. Probably Robert Shaw as Red Grant. SPECTRE's agent of death, now that would be cool!

    Pendragon,

    Yeah, he's really good, and he churns them out in great regularity. It's amazing. I hope to do more Bond related busts, but the commission is not cheap. If you are interested in one email or PM me.

    Here is the link to another Connery Bond Bust auction offered at a new low starting price with no reserve:

    As I said in another post, I own the mold outright and have exclusive rights to make copies of it. Howard is no longer casting these for me. They are cast with my own hand. Don't miss out on this fantastic piece.

    DG, I see that the painted Connery head in your avatar now sports an evening jacket. Can you share more photos?

    Superado,

    Actually, that is just a white shirt and tie. It's one that I recently sent to a customer who painted it himself. He was so happy to get it that he sent me pictures of it. He Absolutely loves it. I think he did a fantastic job with it.
