Thanks!!!
I only wish I had the space to properly display it as in Dave Z's collection.
Here are two new pieces I’m currently working on…I know they are not screen-accurate but simply results of my sick imagination…LOL
A prototype of my cutaway version of the YOLT “Baby Rocket showing the propulsion unit that powered the rocket.
The THUNDERBALL Radioactive Tracking device hooked up to a power unit (Told you I had a sick imagination) Again, simply a prototype. ID plaque still need to be added and (Thanks to a brilliant idea by Danjaq_off) a Tritium keychain which glows in the dark may be incorporated into the final design.
The DAF Finger Trap with internal machanism
A resin casting I’m working on of the SPECTRE speargun used by the Underwater SPECTRE frogmen
…and just to show you that I’m not the ONLY one with a sick imagination…here’s something a ran across on the web.

Recently finished this replica of Blofeld's Voice Changing Device. When the machine is turned on, the original functions continue to work as intended...sound levels and cassette tape operate as normal. I still need to record dialogue from the film to include on the cassette.

Yep, Ed is the man when it comes to Bond props. I have quite a few of his items. He cares a great deal about getting it right and does a great deal of research to that end.

So, what sharp little eyes you've got...wait till you get to my teeth.
"People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." Richard Grenier after George Orwell, Washington Times 1993.
Here is the wooden case that I make for the Moonraker Wrist Dartgun. I also supply the plastic case with darts.
This one currently resides in the hands of a collector friend of mine who now uses it to display his original SD Studios Wrist Dartgun.

This is my Italian "Picklock" Switchblade knife similiar to the one that Quarrel pulls on Bond when they first meet in Puss Fella's stockroom.
It's called a "Picklock" because you press down on the back end of the front guard. It then swivels and pushes or "Picks" the lock up off the rear pin on the back of the blade.

Love the pen grenade Ed. Great job! It adds an extra display dimension to the Jotter.

I think it's an interesting way to RE-investigate the props. Right now, I'm working on a cutaway of the Magnetic Mine from Goldeneye.

Here’s my newest item (Cutaway of the GOLDENEYE Magnetic Mine) that I started work on…just an incomplete prototype for now.
I’ll post photos as it nears completion.

That means a lot that you enjoy the work I do and feel them worthy enough to add them to your collections.

The blade of the knife is marked “Made in France” and is the correct size and shape as seen on the Honey Rider knife.
The blade is 6 inches long and the overall length is 10 inches.
I originally speculated that the wooden grip on her knife, in the film, was the top section of a wooden oar.
While the handle is cork and not wood, it is similar, in function, as to what was used in the film.

i'd agree, much better effort than that SD one, which from my point of view, was a bit of a cop out.

Sir. You are a proper maniac, and I salute you. -{
It makes me want to go review the movies just for anything I could fabricate. What fun!

Any plans on making any more of the Goldeneye door devices? I like the look of your piece and would be interested in one if you're doing a run.
--Brian
The Goldeneye Door opening device takes a bit of work as I custom make each of the front pieces and do the wiring for the lights.
You (and anyone also interested in anything you've seen) drop me an email at thefudds@aol.com and I'll put your name on my list of to-do props.
Don't forget to check out my website and photobucket listed below to see other props, paper props, artwork, animation cels, etc, etc.
