Now that Donald Grant “swelled” my head with his comments about my sketchbook…let’s see if I can return the favor….
In the current issue of my friend Terry Webb’s magazine “AMAZING FIGURE MODELER issue 45 there is an article I’m sure all the members of the AJB forum would enjoy reading.
A model maker by the name of Don Pierce shows how he made a life-size Sean Connery figure using the head bust offered by our very own – Donald Grant.
As the editorial states:
“Don Pierce takes aim with FROM RESIN WITH LOVE, an outstanding tribute to everyone’s favorite international super spy, James Bond. This one of a kind figure is guaranteed to kick you right in the Thunderballs”
I suggest everyone run down to their favorite magazine store and pick up a copy…then order a head from DG as I’m sure this article will inspire you to do your very own figure.

Wow! Thanks Ed, mighty kind of you to post about the article.
Mantis, I don't know if Don takes commissions, but those were my thoughts exactly.

Since you have Don's contact info perhaps you might want to contact him.
If you don't still have it...let me know and I'll contact terry at the magazine and ask him to share it with us.

BTW, I got the identical gun used - here is the blow up FYEO
I made contact with Don, he said the article was written two years ago but AFM was wating to do a dedicated Bond issue as they often do with other subjects. I guess the dedicated issue never came to fruition so they decided to publish it. Don said he told me about the article when he first submitted it. I guess I misplaced that bit of information in my personal memory device. As for doing private commissions he has, as yet, not responded, so I take that as a no. Still, he certainly gives you the blueprints to make your own in AFM.
