Die Another Day Tankbuster round - Names being taken!

minigeff

Hi guys,

I thought I might make myself a replica of the tankbuster round from DAD. It's a fairly unknown/seen prop but it does feature in a deleted scene where the tankbuster is loaded up. I made a couple of these years ago and were described as virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.

Because buying stock materials in such small quantities is either impossible or a waste, i'll have some spare material left over. There won't be enough material for loads of these and I don't have much time spare, but would anyone else want one?

Drop me an email if you are.

Cheers,

MG -{

Apologies but where does this appear in the film?

There's a deleted scene where the tankbuster is loaded up. The hero gun used a custom round that housed a blank cartridge.

Not a great image i know, but you can see the round alongside the gun here;

Due to demand, I might take a mould and cast out some of these.

If you want one, stick your name below.

I'll take a resin version-since Ed took my metal one. )

thespyboys11

....sorry. Ask Pete, he'll tell you the resin ones don't feel as good as the cold feel of metal..... ) --Ed

danjaq_0ff

Cold cast porcelain aint a bad substitute though

Surely the feel of it always depends on where you’re putting it, you may want something a little warmer than cold steel :v

thespyboys11

C'mon, Andy, there's nothing like the feel of 6 or 8 inches of cold metal in your hand...... ) =Ed

First mould poured, should be demoulding tomorrow.

will do ed, the idea is to take a mould off my replica, cast 2 copies out and remove the tip off one (ouch) leaving a body and chop the body off the other, leaving the tip. I'll then take new mounds off these modified casts to give a mould for the clear tip and a mould for the aluminium body.

Make sense?
