Mini G I forgot to ask this in the Barbarian threads - did you do any work on the Ice Palace miniatures for DAD?
You mean barbican right? )
As for the miniatures, no mate I worked on full size ice palace dressing, furniture, champagne flutes and tumblers, DMZ miniatures and parts of Icarus.
Very impressive. To me the Ice Palace looked comparable to Stromberg's tanker in its scale and detail. Yeah, my spelling and diction go all to pot when I late night post! Although this looks like a case of spellcheck happy!
This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?

Funny how Chris changed from an LtK hater to an LtK lover, it's almost like he went through a sort of spiritual conversion or something.
He became a Daltonist...

I hate none of them. Honestly. But OP and AVTAK generate more cringes-per-act (my own personal barometer) than any others. That said, I do still watch them from time to time. They are Bonds, after all.

The only two Bond films, either can't watch or fast forward
Through large chunks of them are CR67 ( need to be high to
Follow that one) and NSNA. I keep trying to watch it but always
End up hitting the " FF" button.
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."

CR67 is unwatchable, but it makes for interesting background noise whilst doing something else.
NSNA is not bad as long as you are too drunk to drive. )

) I keep trying to like NSNA ( after all my goal is to love and
care for all Bond films ) but I always get the first half, as it has
Some good points. Then the second half kicks in and I lose interest.
The score is so distracting, it's as if it's from a different film.
Although every so often, I'll still give it a go.

That score is the absolute worst!
It's not one of Michel Legrand's best, but it's not a bad score. It's just not right for a Bond film, even for a fake Bond film.
Hmmmmmmmm...... NSNA comes to mind but that one doesn't count. I do think it's worth noting however that I owned that movie for a full eight years before I actually sat down and watched the whole thing. mainly because I couldn't even get through the first twenty minutes when I first tried to watch it and it took that long to finally get the nerve up to watch it. It was every bit as bad as I'd feared. The original CR wasn't much better and that one was filmed in the time of classics so it really had no excuse. But I digress. What was my least favorite EON Bond movie? The one I could almost say I hated? MWtGG was pretty bad, DAD was a bit silly, TND was okay but not great, but if I had to choose one I really hated... Quantum of Solace! That movie was the most rushed, forced, Corner cutting piece of Bond cinema SINCE NSNA. I still can't say I hated it truly but that is definitely one movie I'd rather just watch the trailer for than the actual movie, and it's currently the only installment that's "missing" from my collection. (as in, I sold it for two dollars to a tech shop )

I was happy to have another Bond option in 1983. It was a good summer to be a Bond fan

Don't "hate" any of them , but the ones I can't watch are FYEO, OP and AVTAK , combinination of John Glens poor direction and RM at that stage kill them for me.

Pretty much agree, however I do like the "circus / assasin" scene in OP.

Sorry mate, I had to have a laff at that.
I found TND a fine blend of serious Fleming TB & over-the-top YOLT myself.
