TND Copper Tie - who's in?

Hey folks,
I just wanted to gauge interest in a tie project with Magnoli, looking to recreate the copper tie as worn by Brosnan in TND (during the Hamburg airport scenes).
I recently got some high resolution shots of the tie (and the bluray discs should be out reasonably soon), so I'd like to know whether this project would have enough people behind it to turn it into reality.
Also, please note if you committed to buying the GE 'tank' tie and have not done so, please do - continued projects can't occur unless we meet prior commitments and expectations.
My plan is to have the copper tie made in 100% silk (the tank tie was part wool, but it was appropriate for the weave), and I plan to request for Magnoli to make it thick and dense like the original T&A tie.

As always, you can count me in. Surprised you even had to ask. :-)

Price should be $60, or perhaps slightly more due to the increased thickness this tie will require.
i am in, too. And as before i will order two ties. Thanks again for your efforts.

Current count is 9.
The screen cap you have shows the colour well.
I'm gonna update with some information tonight...
Is anyone here good with photoshop? I'd like to generate a few versions of the images we have in different color tonalities to see which one comes closest to the original tie. I'm hoping Asp can at some point find his tie but until then lets not just sit on our hands.
I must get my GE Tank tie ordered after Christmas too. Still loving the TWINE boat chase and TND hamburg ties!

that looks really great. I´m ready to place my order.
Greetings,

Looking at the photos I sent you (specially the darkish one) I'd say that the copper color should be a bit lighter maybe and the blue has some shine to it, what do you think? I think the whole tie should look a bit shinny you know, and the colors on the prototype look dull to me, and that tie isn't dull at all.

1 2 and 3 show the fabric under different color shades. #4 was an earlier prototype which was too light and also had errors in the pattern.
Need your input guys:
1) Between 1 2 and 3, which comes closest to the original?
2) Any problems/issues with the pattern?
FYI, Magnoli is leaning towards #1.
