It can save your life...this "cigarette".

Worked on a “fantasy” prop recently and thought to share the results. I say “Fantasy” because it’s not a replica of the actual prop seen in the film but more of a tribute to that prop.
The film prop uses a MBA “Finjet” inside a cigarette. While I used to think this was just something made up by the screenwriter it was, in fact, a real life item that was made to use as we see in the film. Well…sort of.
The real item was not an explosive rocket but was meant to act as a diversionary tactic that may hopefully be distractive enough to allow an escape.
I made a similar version a few years ago and am now revisiting it by including it inside a foam case with additional ammo.
As I said…not a replica but just a fun piece that I thought to add to my prop collection.
Hope you all like it for what it is.

Very nice, Ed!
Have you ever tried to make a MR camera?

As you say a 'fantasy' prop, but the idea and concept is great, nicely presented and a testament to your skills.
Well done Ed
Is there any truth to the rumour that, as a Christmas present to us all, Bondtots is going to make post without mentioning that thing that we don't mention???

I would but I wouldn't want to step on Jeff's major project. I know he's been working on perfecting a version of it...for what seems like years.

Well, my concern is that my days on earth may not be long enough to experience the finishing of MGs camera
For him, it's certainly not a "major project" - more like some - "who cares when they are finished" priority.
