Could anyone make an image compilation of all the other ties (Brosnan era) so we can look at them side by side and start a poll of some sort to see what people might want to do next?
Next I vote for the Goldeneye tank tie! Tried in vain to get this before, so a replica would fit the bill nicely!
Japanese proverb say, "Bird never make nest in bare tree".
Got home from work yesterday evening and the ties were here waiting for me. Just one word - FANTASTIC! Thanks to everyone who worked on this project to make it happen. Will be wearing them at work next week.

What items we gonna work on next?
AHHHHHHHH I haven't gotten mine! Exploding with anticipation lolol Lucky you!
Wow, words can't describe how great they are. First - just the quality. I own some decent ties, some nice ties, and some very expensive ties... and this is easily as good as the best if not better. The stitching is superb, beautifully crafted using fabric that really makes the colors stand out. The gold, silver, and red on the Q-Boat tie all shine with a sparkling quality not even seen on screen.
As regards to the accuracy - not one detail was missed, whether it was the double tie loop on the back or the direction of the weave on every aspect of the pattern, which matches the originals exactly.
I have to say, the prototype pics that were posted before do not do the ties justice. I'll try and get some pics posted soon of mine.
Back at work today after a lovely weekend, and already THREE colleagues have mentioned my lovely new tie! Does anyone have a picture of Pierce from TWINE so I can show them where it came from? I can't find any!
Received both ties in the mail today. Indy did first class job!!! I'll definitely be wearing them to work. Now if only I could find the red tie from DAD. Cheers.

Well, my ties showed up yesterday. All in all not too bad. The only complaint I have is that the diamond pattern on the Hamburg tie is not straight and off center. I think I will try to get in touch with him and see if it can be exchanged. Anyone else notice if the pattern on their tie is off center?
Asp does... he was the one who loaned out the sample fabric for Indy to duplicate. I don't think he's received his yet tho.. I'm sure he'll comment here when he has.

I have an original T&A Hamburg tie and its not perfectly centered either, i guess its just how there made so dont think too much of it.
Away at Boot Camp, won't be back until April the earliest.

Yup, that's true - same on my T & A original. And on two others I have from the same range - different colours, same pattern - similarly off centre.
Indeed, if Magnoli HAS got some centred, maybe he's been trying TOO hard...;)
I know Indy did make an effort to have as many centered as possible, but I suppose when approaching towards the tail end of the fabric some were not centered to use as much of the remaining fabric as possible?

Will be wearing the TND tie tomorrow.
They really are fantastic! {[]
Here's two pics you can reference:

Strangeways and me can't be the only ones who have gotten their order. Anyone else?
Does anyone have a close up of Pierce wearing the TND tie for me to show my friends?

Any ideas as to how you plan to give away those other two?

Understandable. I think it should be reasonably centered... if its way off I think the base of the tie would just look... weird.

Cdr_James_Bond, how does the weight of the fabric compare to your T&A tie (I believe your profile says you own a herringbone one).
Many thanks to Urhash and other posters who sorted this and to Indy for his efforts.
Really looking forward to the Tank tie now -as well as any others Indy wants to replicate!
