1/6 custom build of the Aston Martin V8 from 'The Living Daylights'

thespyboys11

I ran across this 1/6 custom build of the Aston Martin V8 from 'The Living Daylights' on a website called 'Collector Freaks'. The screen name of this Master builder, from Scotland, is 'Marine Boy'.

He began this project in 2021 and finished in 2022.

This will be the first of upcoming posts as he has also made 1/6 versions of "Little Nellie" from 'You Only Live Twice", The Wetbike and the Lotus Esprit from 'The Spy Who Loved Me' and the 'Q-Boat' from "The World is Not Enough'.

Because this project spreads out over several pages, I've gone through and downloaded all the photos with info and placed them here for you to enjoy.

What most impressed me is that not only is it scratch built but all the electronic functions that are installed in each of these models.

There will be YouTube video links at the end so you can see the various operations.

Enjoy and prepare to pick up your jaw as it hits the ground!!!! ---Ed

The Red Kind

Wow! That is some serious work and dedication right there. Many thanks for posting @thespyboys11 🍸️

It is remarkable- that the V8 even has the heads up display! Did he say what his process is for creating the bodywork? I can't see that there's any 3D printing going into this at all.

thespyboys11

No...no 3D printing. All made by hand except for the wheels. The next postings of the Lotus he states that it was the FIRST time he scratch built a car. Everything he posted regarding the description of the build is posted under each photo. If you can't read it, just click on the photo and it enlarges. --Ed
