Our friend Bonddirector’s wonderful dioramas inspired me to post a few of mine.

Some are projects in progress, and we have a lot more planned, especially vehicles.

Gonna take a lot of effort to catch up with Bonddirector’s superb versions.

Wow! How'd you pull off the motorcycle?

The Bond Experience

Ok, as someone who has experienced these in person I can tell you the WOW factor is significant. Paul has these displayed among some very impressive collectibles yet THESE standout and draw the eye. That's saying something! The details, artistry, and attention shows the love and passion that Paul put into these. But then to take mere objects and make them appear animated and 'in the moment' so to speak makes the jaw rather drop. I have said it before but I will say it again, Paul....these really show off your creativity and passion for Bond!

These are awesome, Paul - I love your work. {[] The bikes look great, and the backdrops really add to each moment. That helicopter is a decent size! And who knew Obanno kept jumbo playing cards? -{

Projects like these are why I love this website and community so much. A lot of time and effort must have gone in creating these superb diaramas. Thank you for posting these great pictures. @The Mantis, I can understand that they must look even better in real life!

Bonddirector

Paul,

These are AWESOME! I love how you have photo backdrops to the scenes. Your attention to detail is fantastic. I love your "Day of the Dead" scene. The helicopter scene is likewise impressive. Is the DB5 a 1/6 scale in your GE scene? If so who makes it... Please do share more, I'll look forward to more posts!

Thanks guys, esp DZ. Am more than embarrassed. ;%

Mantis is right, a lot of time, sweat and love went into these, and when they say “don’t try this at home”, they of course mean don’t do this on the wifes’s favorite dining table when she’s gone away for a week!

The bikes, helicopter and some of the vehicles are of course kitbashed and crafted using clay etc.

The Aston is the Diamond Cars approx 1/8 version, which I purchased 15yrs ago and I doubt is available now. They made amazing replicas, and this one is remote controlled and has a smoke screen device.

Thanks to QQ for spotting the out of scale playing cards ... all I can say is Obanno “thinks big”..

Most of the costumes are also kitbashed from ebay/etc and painted or dyed to the correct colors. A few are the “off the shelf” versions made by the various chinese suppliers. But most needed a lot of effort.

The DotD masks took a lot of work, especially Estrella’s and Sciarra’s but were worth it. I recently bought one of the chinese Bond Skeletons and will use their masks instead.

As mantis says, they were displayed amongst various props and collectibles, and as the Estrella figure sits next to the actual mask it needed to be at least similar to not be too embarrassing.

Really appreciate the kind thoughts, and as I get back into making them I’ll post.

Hi Jim, as above, the DB6 is Diamond cars (?) which probably disappeared - I can’t find any reference to them on the web on a cursory look. It was over 15 yrs ago.

I think we should chat about future projects, and I’ll send you a PM.

Cheers Paul

Incredible work! Attention to detail, passion, artistry- it is all there.
Wonderful, I hope that you can show these in a museum or Bond Tour, they are worthy of an exhibition.
Cheers, Tom
