So this is a 10 year old thread and in the op I have posted that I was already 5 years into the project.
So what we are all seeing, took 15 years in total and I am happy to see this moment while being alive 🤣🤣
Special thanks go to Danjaq_ off who took over when my relationship with the silversmith was not the best and I was on a good path to blow the entire project up.
So most kudos go to Danjaq_off for his neverending support.
I don‘t need to tell you how happy and proud I am and to Asp9mm : Just go and get f_cked 🤣🤣

Do you have any particular plans for it? Nothing wrong with just enjoying it for yourself of course, but it looks so good I almost feel you could put it on display at shows or something!
At first I thought that was Kristina on the left in the photo and I was gobsmacked by how good she looks for her age, but then I realized that was that handsome devil Pete! She still looks okay though.
Some years ago I created replica copies of the Octopussy Sotheby's Faberge Auction catalogue, some of you may be lucky to have a copy.
At the time I felt it would be nice to pay homage to Higgins, so I can finally reveal on page iv of the catalogue which is headed 'FABERGÉ WORKMASTERS' I inserted the following extra line:

The Octopussy egg is finally in the Higgins Collection.
Was great to meet Danjaq_off and Acacia Avenue after all that time.
The egg is just mindblowing and stunning, the details like the engravings, the filings on the top crest and the level of detail on the coach are just magnificent.
Higgins is very happy and grateful that this has come to a successful end.
Thanks to all that helped with details, advise and stupidity ( such as Asp9mm). It was an incredible ride!
And no, I did not wear green Trainers yesterday

This is a fabulous piece of true art. So many congratulations for this achievement.
CONGRATULATIONS!! Looks AMAZING)
Thanks again guys 😊
Its going with me to OP40 tomorrow and the shortly after I will be meeting up with higgy it will then reside in his collection.
Boy, what a day. To all that I met at OP40 it was a pleasure.
Here are a few pics of my mission of the day.
Amazing stuff, Pete, the egg is stunning. THAT is how you make a replica prop.
MIND BLOWINGLY SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pete, I'll be mailing you this empty carton. Please fill in with the appropriate number of the replica eggs and send back ASAP!!! --Ed

That’s wonderful: Ms Wayborn is looking stunning.
Must be a tricky thing to sign too! That’s got to be the best replica of anything from a Bond movie!
Absolutely stunning, Pete 🍸
Oh, and the egg & Kristina look nice too ☺️
At first I thought that was Kristina on the left in the photo and I was gobsmacked by how good she looks for her age, but then I realized that was that handsome devil Pete! She still looks okay though.
What else went on at the event? Was it good fun?
Hard to believe she is in her 70's for sure.
Cheers Paul 😁
😂🤣😂
You got to mix with a lot of people that you have a common BOND with 😁
It was good to meet you too.
Thanks for showcasing the egg before it goes to its new home with Mr Higgins. It was amazing to see it up close.
Here's a few of photos that I took. Hope you don't mind me sharing them.
Its great to see others photos, thank you for posting mate. Hopefully we will bump into each other again 😊
Higgy is happy? only and I mean only if he is wearing green trainers and a dodgy timepiece! 😉
Congrats to all who brought this stoopid bloody egg to reality! 👍️
