LTK Polaroid Camera

Hi.

Just need a bit of advice from the ladies, gentleman and scolars that reside on this forum.

I have just managed to et my hands on a Polaroid Spectra System camera as used in Licence to Kill.

I've also managed to get an X-Ray photograph as seen in the film, thanks to ed the Spyboy.

All I need to do to make it screen accurate is to make the flash red, and I was wondering if someone could advise me as to the best way to achieve this.

    I'll be glad to send you a piece of red plastic sheeting that I use to make mine.
    Simply place it over the lens and you're done.

    That would be most appreciated. Thank you very much. I'll drop you a PM, Private Message that is - not Number 10, who is probably still making ugly noises about Operation Bedlam

    :D

    Ed,

    Once again thanks for your offer but as I had a red marker pen on the desk next to the camera, I have decided to go with Kleynen's suggestion, and the results are excellent!

    Thanks very much for your help both of you!

    And Kleynen - I love the Iguana - there a girls best friend don't you know!

    Here's one I met in Mexico last month:

    Can I ask you what the item is in the photo between the dentonite and the grip of the signature gun?

    I''m going to get another couple of photo's tqken of the camera now and I'll post 'em later today.

    It are uncle Q's illuminating spectacles. B-) He is wearing these when playing with his toys in his hotel room.

    So here it is - the finished article:

    I am really happy with this as I am really like The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill. They're in my top 4 Bond films.

    As you can see I didn't have much luck at the casino! :#

    Thanks again to you all for your help.

    :))

    Ed after your work on the Moonraker Laser gun - can't you do something similar with a Polaroid camera??

    Oh...You mean like THIS???

    Actually, as much as I would like to take credit for that...it was done by my good friend, Jerome.
    That IS a real Laser you see. Unfortunetly, the beam is only visible in a smoke-filled room.
    He fitted a laser pointer inside the camera. However, he said it was such a nightmare to make that he would never do another.
    Who knows...maybe I'll give it a try.
