    Hello,

    a new "Fan based continuation of the james bond car collection", code 3 (number 198....)
    This one was firstly made by SWJ, a long time ago... Thanks for the idea.
    Hope you like new models.
    No news on 'official' collection from USA. ?

    Well done on the latest updates, DDenis {[]
    I guess the next time you post we will be seeing what will be Issue 200, which just shows how far the original series could have gone! Hard to believe it will soon be 4 years since the last issue of the JBCC (#134) was released in the UK.

    I stopped following the Batman Automobilia series (which replaced the JBCC in the UK) so I don't whether that is still running.

    I did see recently, though, that another of the long-running Eaglemoss partworks had ended: the Opel Collection in Germany finished up on Issue 140. The last 50 or so issues had all been re-releases in new colours of previous issues, or models brought in from partworks which had only a General Motors connection to Opel.

    I've seen no further news on the USA version of the partwork, nor I have I seen anything of the 1/43 Spectre DB10 from the James Bond partwork in Italy. Hopefully the DB10 will still appear as I would like to add it to the rest of my Fabbri/Eaglemoss originals.

    Hello everyone, it's been a long time since I last posted but I still check the forum a few times a week.

    There have been some fantastic code 3s and they have inspired me to open the body shop again, here are some of the project I am currently working on

    Hi DDenis, is the Ferrari Dino in the movie Moonraker or is that from the Novel?

    Thanks
  • DDenisDDenis Posts: 166MI6 Agent
    Hello Canuck007,

    What a lot of work here !!! Congratulations !! I will for sure take some ideas from you for my next model-mag.

    The Dino (yellow) is from the Novell, based on an idea from SWJ (post 6575 p263)

    Nice to see all thoses new models.

    Waiting for the finish job. My projects are moving slowly on my side, but 4-5 models on the 'table' ...

    Cheers.

    Hi DDenis, glad you like the models, I am working on about 20 at the moment, I wish I could just finish one at a time! lol
    I will post new pics soon. Working on a bunch from the ice race scene from OHMSS I think I remember someone else posting a large diorama from that race, do you remember when that was? I would love to take another look at what they did.

    Thanks for the info on the Dino, for now I'm going to stick to movie vehicles only.
  • Canuck007Canuck007 Posts: 72MI6 Agent
    Here are some new vehicles and some updates on ongoing projects;
    The cougar is almost done just need the lic plates, three ice race cars from OHMSS, the Defender Crew cab is coming along and a new peugoet 604 from NSNA just arrived.

    Hello all

    It's been a while, but I do pop my head around the door occasionally.

    Out of interest, where did you get the NSNA merc from? I've been after one for years and never seen one!

    I've got a couple of new models that I need to post. I'll try and get around to it sometime soon.

    thanks

    Steve

    Hello Canuck007
    These are great, well done! Love them all. You've obviously spent a lot of time on these.

    Keep up the good work!

    Hello have not been on this for along while ! I got a letter from Eaglemoss asking if I wouldlike to buy one of 200 completed 1/8 scale DB5 at the sum of £1500 !!! Still no word on Bond in motion collection. Was on holiday in Norfolk this year and at Miniature world they have the original collection on display in full. If you haven't been its certainly worth a visit for all things diecast, trains, etc etc.

    My own project is a 1/10 scale RC Land rover Defender from Spectre. will post photos when I complete

    all the best

    I'm finally starting to put all the pieces together and actually finish a project, here are a couple of completed dioramas, hope you enjoy them. I decided to make the name plates red on the code 3's to set them apart from the stock items.
    Ford Cortina from Never Say Never Again, I used the Taunus from TSWLM switched it to right hand drive.

    Hi everyone, as I work away on a number of code 3 projects I was wondering, who came up with the idea of adding models to this collection as fan based, homemade, code 3's. I remember reading many posts dealing with people's wish lists but does any one remember what the first code 3 was and what page it could be found on?

    Thanks

    According to research done by Tony Ericsson on p.265:
    http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/28313/james-bond-car-collection-questions-and-praise/page/265/
    the first Code 3 was SWJ's Renault 5 Turbo posted in June 2012 on p.182:
    http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/28313/james-bond-car-collection-questions-and-praise/page/182/

    Certainly a lot of water under the bridge since then!

    Re. my post from the end of March this year, I see that the website of the Italian partwork version of "Bond In Motion" has now disappeared.

    I never did see on eBay an example of the 1/43 Spectre DB10 that was supposed to be the third subscriber gift in that partwork, so I wonder if Eaglemoss ever made it in the end?

    Hi Fact, thanks for looking into that, it's a bit slow here at work lately so I have been looking at some past pages as well. Check out page 67 you'll find a photobucket of Daniel Leyvraz, I remember seeing his work and thinking it was amazing, especially the work on the figures.

    Here are some updates on current projects, on a funny note I am finally finished my version of the Renault turbo. Hope you like them

    Hi again, well I have been doormat for a couple of years, but now I'm on a roll. My wife is not too pleased with me as I have taken over three rooms in the house, paint, photo paper and small cars all over! I told her it was for Queen and Country, she didn't get it!
    Here are a couple of new additions.

    Finally finished the Casino Royale Bedford
    Check out this NEO model of a Daimler Majestic Major, it may be the nicest 1/43 model I have ever seen! I have another NEO that I am going to put with this one and two other vehicle to make up a scene, but I won't tell you yet, maybe someone can guess? I hope it turns out nice and does justice to those awesome NEO models.

    Nice to see new 007 models still being created, well done Canuck007 {[]

    Still looking forward to seeing DDenis's extension of the original series getting to Issue 200, when he gets a chance.

    In my previous post I mentioned the disappearance of the website for the recent Italian equivalent of the "Bond In Motion" partwork. On Facebook on Christmas Eve I saw a post by Eaglemoss for what (I assume) is now a full launch of the partwork in Italy as the "James Bond Auto Collection":
    http://www.007auto-collezione.it/
    The magazines appear to have a format similar to "Bond In Motion" (although on the subscribing page it shows the old Fabbri magazines & models in the same order of Issues 1 - 10).
    So basically, the models and the subscriber gifts are exactly the same as the original GE Fabbri "James Bond Car Collection", at a cost of €14.99 for Issue 3 onwards.

    So no 1/43 DB10 after all ... unless it still turns up sometime down the line!
  • Canuck007Canuck007 Posts: 72MI6 Agent
    Thanks for the compliment FACT. I checked out the Italian site, at least they still have a picture of the DB10 so maybe there is hope!

    Here are some recent projects, I think the 1967 Casino Royale scene is my favorite one so far the models, especially the NEO ones (Daimler and the Cadillac) are amazing.

    Whilst in WH Smiths, just wasting a bit of time, I noticed the magazine diecast collector, and on the cover was the DB5 from Goldeneye. I had a quick look through and it said that Corgi was releasing some models in 2017, the DB5, DB10 and the Lotus Esprit from TSWLM.
    All due for release in June/July
