Replica Bond Props (Page 1 of 3)

Nice job Ed,

the cd cases look awesome.

oh boy

very very nice Ed. and very very cool.

you have done a great job there.. WELL DONE 10 / 10

the replica I am making I am thinking of a blue light at the front,
similar to the way it looks when one of Q's assistants are testing
it out and melts a dummy's head my replica will be the UZI style
lazer gun.

I think the Uzi style good guy lazer guns were much more cool looking
and detailed as opposed to the bad guy lazer gun / pistols

I am thinking of making the Black UZI style lazer gun with the chrome trim and the plane white version Both are the same gun but with different stylings and trim. Would be just as easy to make 2 as opposed to a one off replica, they would look cool lying beside each other in a glass cabinet display.

the gun you made Ed, i was also thinking of making but converted from an old SEGA light gun and was going to use the same model and make the same gun but with the multiple Tubes at the front with chrome trim like the one Drax points at Bond at the end before being taken out by Bond's wrist Dart Gun.

as I am on the subject of moonraker. was analysing and doing some designs a few nights ago for a cigarette case Safe cracker replica with LED numbered code lighting.

and as I am thinking of making this a little ''OO7 Mini-Camera'' would be nice to go with it. I think the little black OO7 camera was a lighter supposedly. I was thinking of sourcing the correct lighter drilling a hole at the front and getting engraved the OO7 logo and then building it a little flash light like you would get on a car key light and rig that up to a side button so when pressed, would look as if a photo has been taken

Mick,
As mentioned in the first posting...this is a work in-progress.

I like to share these pics as the work progresses.

The 7 clear acylic tubes still need to be added to the front of the barrel. An idea I got for that was to use thick walled hollow rods and insert a small laser pointer inside the rear of each of the rods. It would be a simple matter to wire them all together so they would all turn on when the trigger is pulled.

The series of on/off buttons still need to be added to both sides as well as the chrome tape bands around the front barrel.

ONLY the "Hero" laser pistols were modified. The others were, as you stated, not modified.
In fact, the ones used by Drax's guards are simply resin copies of an unmodified gun.
If you look at the photo of the laser pistol I previously posted (see below) you'll see one of the original resin pistols.

This pistol had it's front barrel cut down possibly due to a bad casting. The plastic wire holders were glued on to replace the now missing buttons on either side. You can still see where the original buttons were glued on. A paper tape was glued on over the original side panel.

The panels on the real "Hero" prop were painted over. None looked quite like the photo I took at EON.

Very Very CoOl indeed Ed !

Top Marks OO7

Hi Guys,
Just about finished this replica.

I still want to do some interior work to make the Ultra-Bright LED even stronger by placing 1 LED inside each of the 7 acrylic rods (which still need to be added)

Here are both the "Stunt" version usually seen carried by Drax's guards and the "Hero" version used by Holly and Drax.

The "Hero" version prior to installing the front acrylic rods.

The Ultra-bright LED....IS !!! LOL

I can actually use this prop as a flashlight...and that's with only 1 LED...
Wait until I have all 7 in there!!!  LOL

what type of airgun is that ed?

Hi guys,
Here is an update on the GOLDFINGER tranquilizer Pistol.
The barrel has a new larger cover installed over the existing barrel.
Both the barrel band and the front sight has been removed

A custom made liquid-filled capsule was made to simulate the tranquilizer dart.

More progress on the MOONWALKER laser pistol:

I replaced the chrome tape with polished aluminum strips on the one…still need to do the other.

Brass tubes were placed inside the barrel until I get the acrylic rods. Looks like it will work pretty good!!!

Hope you guys are enjoying the progress.

Hi Ed, hope you're well. I've been following the progress on this prop and I'm just fascinated how you've managed to piece this together just from information available 30 years later.

Just wanted to bring something to your attention. Just watched Moonraker on BluRay and I noticed a couple of things which may be a help to your prop. On the "hero" version there are no little round wheels in the back end of the pistol.  Just viewed the scene where Drax picks up the weapon from one of his dead soldiers and there is a nice closeup showing that. Also there are two white square buttons visible on the other side of the pistol as well, matching the side with the two white buttons that you've already built.

On the stunt pistol that one of the guards pulls out to cover Bond earlier in the film, it's just a solid black gun with no attachments.

Hope this helps. Maybe other members with BluRay Moonraker can chime in as well. My Sony player does not have frame advance. I was lucky enough to freeze frame on that particular frame where there is a closeup of the pistol just before Drax picks it up.

Can't wait to see the final product. Best wishes!
