This collection will have been running for 3 years when we reach #85,I honestly think it will go to 100!,maybe more!:s ) -{ :007)
I was just thinking the same myself about it lasting 3 years, its stupid when you think about it. I wouldn’t mind if it goes up to a hundred now if I could just get them all now, its getting to the stage that I really hate waiting for them every month then rearranging my display each time so that they fit.
I know, Im impatient but I have been waiting about 2 years now for the whole set.
What are we all going to do when it's over..we have all spoken to each other for so long now ..we will have to find another outlet ) -{ :007)
Assuming the collection stays with the 85 models as recently announced, here are the films which proved to be popular in the James Bond Car Collection, and those that didn't...
8 models:
Quantum Of Solace
7 models:
Goldfinger
The Living Daylights
6 models:
Octopussy
Die Another Day
5 models:
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Live And Let Die
4 models:
The Man With The Golden Gun
The Spy Who Loved Me
GoldenEye
Casino Royale
3 models:
Thunderball
Diamonds Are Forever
For Your Eyes Only
A View To A Kill
Tomorrow Never Dies
2 models:
Dr No
From Russia With Love
You Only Live Twice
Moonraker
1 model:
Licence To Kill
The World Is Not Enough
(This list excludes the subscriber specials).
Thanks for the list of possible additions beyond 85, ak007 - I'm with you on the TWINE Ford Escort, if for no other reason than because no other diecast company has AFAIK made the Escort Mk.VI
To your list I would add, as "baddie" cars that enjoyed some real screen time in the movies, the Auric Industries Mercedes 180 (black) or 220 (blue) from the forest chase in Goldfinger, the Peugeot 504 from the olive orchard chase in FYEO, and the cliff-edge Mercedes, also from FYEO. There was also a Turkish Ford station wagon in FRWL that got a fair bit of screen time.
I am trying to build a showcase in our living room with the James Bond car collection. I am usually not allowed to do any James Bond related stuff in the living or sleeping area anb showcasing 85 models will definitely be too much.
So, the basic ide is to use THE car, which is the most significant in each movie and has been used by James Bond:
The normal visitor should have a look at the board and say: "Hey, I remember this car in that movie....."
So, here is my list:
DN: Sunbeam Alpine
FRWL: none
Dr. No: Aston Martin DB5
TB: Aston Martin DB5
YOLT: Toyota 2000 (albeit driven by Aki)
OHMSS: Aston Martin DBS
DAF: Ford Mustang
LALD: none
TMWTGG: AMC Hornet
TSWLM: Lotus Submarine
MR: none
FYEO: copper Lotus Esprit with skis
OP: Alfa GTV
AVTAK: none or Renault Taxi
TLD: Aston Martin V8 Coupe
TLD: none
GE: Aston Martin DB5 (but there is no GE DB5 in the Series)
TND: BMW 750iL
TWINE: BMW Z8
DAD: Aston Martin Vanquish
CR: Aston Martin DBS
QoS: Aston Martin DBS

Great work ak007!
This is exactly what I want to do to that model, but need to get hold of a second one, so I have one original and one I've adapted.
That’s my plan too. This model (ironically) arrived damaged, so a fresh one is on its way as we speak. When I get the chance I might even change the background of this one, I'm thinking just before it goes into the quarry... Or maybe I will just add in front of the Alfa’s the truck that took the door off
But it’s quite hard to take stills from this footage, sometimes I think it might have been better to film this bit from Mr. Wight’s point of view, we would have had more of a clue of what was going on!
By the way, haveing opened the dbs up fully i can tell you that its not only bond that was left out but Mr wight isent in the boot ether! )
I have just realised that I won’t have another bond to put in my new DBS.
So I have been looking back at all of my damaged/ unwanted doubles that I have been sent to see what I can cannibalise. (I do feel a tad guilty about this by the way)
This has made be think about all the other models that we are due from QoS that will also be figure less.
63 Alfa Romeo 159
Which I already have two from the Toyota ready to go
65 Land Rover Defender
I will use one of the people from the Chevrolet nova
70 Ford Edge
Will most like be empty with bond and greene in the background
76 VW Beetle
I have a spare 2cv, so I will use the girl in that for Camille
81 Daimler Super Eight
The diorama for this will no doubt show Greene walking away but I will use one of the men from the Toyota as the driver
84 Ford Bronco
Will most likely be before bond gets in, if not then i will use moore from the 2cv
As for the Aston I don’t have anything else suitable at the moment...
considering you only used a hacksaw, i'd saw you've done quite a decent job there adog.
I agree! Well done.
I haven't the heart to take a hacksaw to an Aston. Even a model of one! It would bring tears to my eyes, that's why I'm letting "the master" do mine!
The Sacramangas flying AMC project was stopped a while back due to illness, but it only needs the finishing touches now.
Not quite minigeff standard, but it looks good amongst all the other items I think.
No we havnt, I dont think we have them, only local motor shops, & in ours the colour on the tin was almost identical to the car, we used the correct primer & all that, but it comes out a different shade.
(It's better than the pic shows actually, coz its under LED lights. Honest!)
But before it gets the yellow stripes, we'd like a second go.
Could you get a spray can of the correct colour then minigeff?
The flying AMC is looking very good, shame i havet got the room for that as well.
Also here is a new pic of the bently still not in its box im sorry to say...
Thanks for the comment on the AMC.
I like the Bentley, I wish they could do the Rollers as well, but where did you take the photo? Im curious.
Would have been a bit of a bummer if the model had rolled backwards!
I agree, this is the one Ive been waiting for.
Just got to wait for Kingsmodel to post a pic in its diorama.
So impatient!
Unfortunately KingsModel doesn't get every JBCC model - for example, so far this year he's missed the LALD Impala (#54), the TB Fairlane (#57) & the QOS DBS (#58)

Hope they modify it a little more to make it more screen accurate. For instance, I don't see the reddish sun visors on this pic that are clearly seen in the film.

Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
DAF - Moonbuggy (key sequence in DAF)
TSWLM - Lotus street edition with Naomi in helicopter in background
Octopussy - Tuk Tuk (driven by Vejay)
Goldeneye - BMW Z3 and Russian Tank (key sequence) which is available without background
the Bentley in FRWL is not significant enough. You are right about the Z3 in GE, funny, that I forgot it....
With TSWLM, I have to boil it down to one car, and I don't consider the TucTuc to being a car

Just needs the finishing paint work & a few minor details.
Carnt get the colour to match, tried everywhere.

Is this the Bentley seen in FRWL? I wonder if it's got the car phone in it if it is?
I agree, this is the one Ive been waiting for.

How do you mean? Would just the AMC body be okay?
Thanks for the comment on the AMC.
