TWINE Q-Boat Tie Facsimile

urhash

I recently created a facsimile of the tie seen in TWINE during the MI6/Q-Boat chase sequence. I used photoshop to recreate the rather complex pattern (finished with a 27 megabyte tiff!), and then using one of those sites that lets you create your own tie, I uploaded it and they sent me the finished product.

It doesn't compare to a $150 T&A silk tie, but I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Attached is a pic...



A lot of the difficulty was in getting the right colors, slightly muted, and also introducing some grain to give it some texture (since it's being printed instead of woven into the fabric).

Michael, this is fantastic! I have been trying to get hold of that tie since 1999. You are a genious, excellent work and really well done. Was it just one you had made? You should go into business.

There used to be a site "as seen on screen" where you could buy clothes etc that were worn on films and TV; you could make a fortune if you started a site "as work by Bond!" A ready made market?

Just a thought, well I am exceted for you anyway.

Chat soon I hope {[]

Thanks (who's Michael?)

Theoretically I can sell through the zazzle marketplace, although I'm not sure if there's any legal issues with copying someone else's pattern. From what I understand tho, Lindy Hemming designed the patterns and had them created by a T&A subsidiary.

I was also thinking of what other ties would be interesting to try and duplicate. One that came to mind was the one in GE when Bond meets with M. I'm not sure what people would be interested in seeing, if at all?
