F-com/09 scratch built scale model

Hi guys, I dunno if i've posted about this before, :s but i thought just in case, i'll give you guys another peek.

The model is in 1:8 scale, is fully remote control, floats, is powered by a jet drive unit which should power it up to about 50mph.

I've never run it in water due to the fear of loosing it. The model is a few years old now, but i keep it clean and in good nick, apart from the weapons covers, which got lost some time back.

I've still got the moulds and patterns for it, so i'll probably get it patched up some time.

Anyways, hope you guys like it, i look forward to seeing what you guys think.

Cheers,

MG

ps, sorry i didnt have a better backdrop than my kitchen to take the pics in :))

    thanks guys! i try my best, i know i aint perfect but i do what i can.

    i think its the only one of its kind, if anyone knows otherwise, let me know.

    no blanks here, so no 5yr stretch for me.

    and yeah pete, it'd look great in your collection, as would a few grand in my bank lol.

    sadly, this model means alot to me, so its not for sale. but as i've got the plans and moulds etc, who knows, maybe a few more may appear.....

    Absolutely fantastic! Top notch work. A little Brosnan figure would top it off nicely.

    At least the head of this 1/9th figure would be useful towards a seated 007 figure: http://www.hlj.com/product/DRA38301

    thanks for that, did think about getting a mate of mine to sculpt me to go in it lol would be different.
