Thanks very much sgg -{ Yes, it is based on the Thunderball PPK, I did the same thing with the P99.
Have got some WIP`s with my Roger collection so will skip to the Craig gatherings. Was lucky enough to get the dummy versions of the phones and took a couple of screensnaps and printed them out and stuck them in, turned out great I think, but will update them to a better version eventually, maybe even backlit. Added a white ribbon and purple handles to the Tosca bag and scratch made a silencer for the P99.
Craig, the point Jeff is making is that MOST of the stuff to come out of Argentina is total crap, I think we've all been burnt at one time or another, order at your own risk. Most of us want fully SA props, well made and of high quality, the stuff from Argentina just doesn't cut it I'm afraid. Pay a little more (OK a hell of a lot more for the AM ECU) and you'll be pleased with investment, not left crying that it is so bad and you wasted your money.
PS Jeff and I were typing at the same time, same sentiments as well
Minigeff why dont you like the MR 007 spy cam btw? I think the ECU is a nice touch expensive and hard to find, don't you think so?
i can't stand that bloody camera cos markus never shuts up about me making him one, he's like a petulant child pulling on my shirt tails constantly. X-(
as for the ECU, sure its a nice piece, very exclusive and beautifully made. sadly though, the majority of us haven't got an aston martin, so if you want one, you'll have to get it from the argies, which'll mean its poorly made, thrown together, badly researched, not screen accurate and misleadingly sold for a price that is nothing short of a joke.
its not the items as such CJ (parp), its the fact the argies couldn't make sh1t when it comes to prop making.
I really appreciate the feedback, opinions and comments, only starting out in this minefield that is Bond replica collecting
and it all is very helpful. -{
The boy from Argentina is not my most favorite person at the minute as he ran with my request on the rpf for someone to make me a DB5 gearknob without even letting me know he`d done it. X-( To rub salt in the wound, when I brought it up at the rpf, it started a bidding war! ) As stated, most of his stuff is crap and other peoples work, such as his GG that came out shortly after FE`s but I was drawn in to some good items such as the Tosca bag, which I modified and the AM ECU. Looked into getting a real ECU at the time, ) ) , is all I can say on that. The South American version is ok for my needs.
Its all an education , from now on I know to PM certain people here if I want something "special" made.
Heres the last parts of the collection, the Roger replicas.
Put together an Assassins brief case based on a replica Denix a while back but thought the case may be better used as a storage unit for all the 007 stuff, turns out it all fits into place nicely with some room left over. Will customise some backing boards, lay everything out and use elastic straps to hold it all together. Thought about having foam inserts with cut out sections but it doesnt allow for new additions.

Wouldn't "Rosie" be a better match then?

Apart from that, nice stuff. Phone screens look nice -{

Yeah, cos mr webber didn't know who she was.
If you're guessing that mr webber and I are the same person you'd be quite wrong there.
