    Hello all

    Over the last few months I've been using up the few remaining cases that I've acquired over the years. After this batch - that's about it. I have one case set aside for a 1/43 DB10 - if ever such a thing appears.

    Anyway, here goes. Enjoy.

    Novels:
    Nobody Lives Forever
    20160206_120033.jpg

    Role of Honour
    20160206_120505.jpg

    Trigger Mortis
    20160206_120121.jpg

    I also decided to create a vehicle from the unmade TV programme an extract of which was published in the same book.

    20160206_115850.jpg

    For the next one, I'd be interested in peoples opinions! It's from the 'graphic novel' of Octopussy. Instead of the Alfa seen in the film, the artist has gone for something else. Now it definitely looks like a Ford Sierra to me. however at one point it looks like a Sapphire (which wasn't released for 2-3 years after the film) Other times it looks like a 3 door. Now there were only two 3 door Sierra's in '83 - the XR4i and the basic 1.3/1.6 - I decided to go for the former, as I couldn't see the german police having problems catching a 1.3 Sierra!!!

    I'm not interested in computer games, but I happened to come across a couple of pictures of cars in couple of these 007 games - so it got me thinking............

    Here we are with the three Mini Cooper from "The Italian Job". I used three minichamps model because they are the only with the proper whells and aerodynamic package...i added the bonnet stripes and the black roof and the red rear lights....for the white one i had to paint a yellow mini....so the job was a little harder!!! Hope you will like....i am quite proud of this work...that i suppose to be nor so common...and quite rare....

    For what concern the JBCC code 3's...
    For the jag i thought to use one of the Jag of the JBCC but they have different wheels....so i looked for a vanguards model... but i bought two because the black one does not have the proper wheels....for the pick up i find a perfect black Hilux by minichamps....i have to realize a front bull bar...but it is pretty good still that way....
    waiting for some opinions...
    Ohh...grow up 007!!

    Bond in Motion Collection Update

    I got a telephone call from Eaglemoss to advise that collection was now on hold until further notice. They explained I was contacted as \I was a previous subscriber to the original collection. I was asked a short survey then told I would be contacted in due course when the collection was to be launched nationwide .

    Thanks for the update. I'd seen a couple of more partwork adverts on TV over the last week or so and was hoping that BiM would be out sooner rather than later.

    Still, if they mentioned a nationwide launch then all may not be lost.
  • DDenisDDenis Posts: 166MI6 Agent
    Hi to all,

    I had received parts 2 and 3 weeks ago but have not been charged. Eaglemoss went on to say only a few original subscribers had resubscribed. Oh well we just have to wait and see
  • DDenisDDenis Posts: 166MI6 Agent
    Hi to all,
    Some new code 4 (car from the movies) are coming and...yes, some new code 3.
    Hope it will push all World factory, as eaglemoss, watching us to get some ideas for next 'collectibles'.

    I hope also all viewer like it.

    Hi Herbie, where is the seller based? Seems like the UK sellers had their stock way back, but I'm awaiting for my Corgi Spectre order from a US-based seller. Thanks!

    Eaglemoss has just launched a test version of the Bond In Motion partwork in Italy - but it's been renamed "James Bond Auto Collection", see here:
    http://www.eaglemoss.com/it-it/modellismo/james-bond-auto-collection/

    The INTERESTING part, though, is the three gifts that are being offered to subscribers ... gift number 2 is the Aston Martin DB10 from Spectre {[]
    https://www.eaglemoss-secure.com/bond-motion-it-orderarea/orderarea.html
    (this is the page you get to if clicking "Abonnati subito" [= "subscribe now"] from the first page)
    The page shows a picture of the actual car in the movie, not a model, but I guess it won't be too long before the model starts appearing on eBay.

    Edit: The main page of the website has been updated since I posted this and the additional information indicates that the DB10 will be actually be subscriber gift number 3, which will go out with Issue #6. So maybe still 12 weeks or so in the future before any released units appear on eBay, but maybe sooner if there are any "out the back door of the factory" ones made available by the Chinese eBayers.
  • Rainier WolfcastleRainier Wolfcastle Posts: 484MI6 Agent
    That's interesting info - thanks, FACT. I'd prefer the DB10 issued not as a subscriber gift to get it easier but so they won't even have to produce a magazine. Although I guess in England it will be released as a standard issue as there were different gifts shown.

    I have noticed in the terms that this collection will only be 20 cars ("ogni 20 uscite" = all 20 issues) + 4 non-cars (Dragon tank, Acrostar, Moon Buggy and Bondola for an additional €1.50 each for subscribers only) + Little Nellie and DB10 as gifts. And four of the cars are already shown as being DB5's: both GF versions (issues 1 and 4), SF (issue 6) and TB (shown below, not yet numbered). With three cars (with the Phantom III) already from GF, there won't even be every film represented.


    I have not heard anything about another 1:43 DB10 or the C-X75. Hot Wheels or Spark have not announced them at the Nuremberg fair. For "code 3's" I have noticed that the Mercedes G63 seen at Blofeld's lair is available from Spark (would only need proper number plate decals), and Premium X made a Range Rover Sport similar to the one used in the Austrian chase scene.

    Hello,
    The new mag & model will be from.... Spectre. I 've got some new ideas and I hope that I will be able to achieve it.
    Hope you like that one...

    This 'inside part' is the 'old' code 3 Fan based collection.
