    Thanks minigeff! Yes, there seems to be a new wave of prop makers here, and I'm glad to be a part of it. I love your work, mate. Loved that Q scanner you made a while back. It motivated me to have a go at it, but I've only made the 3D model thus far (in Maya). The MI6 wall you posted above is beyond awesome. Really thinking outside the box there. You know you have to build the entire HQ now, right? :)) (unless you already have?!) :o

    haha.. True- and I forgot it looked like Legoland! It might be a fun project for someone to flesh out the interior (just what we see in the films) then scale those rooms up to fill out the building somehow - although the rooms like to change (around) a lot. Maybe make them modular, so you can arrange them how you want. There's certainly an idea there, but a project like that is a bit ambitious for me, though!

    Wow, thanks Ed. That means a lot coming from you, mate. Once I settle in a bit and start building a rapport with others, then I'll fire away with the questions. It would be great to collaborate with others on a project in the future- I have a lot of photoshop and 3D modelling experience to bring to the table. But all in good time of course. :D

    Ed, do you have any new additions to your amazing collection? Would be cool to see more of your stuff.

    I collected parts to refurbish the grenade couple of months ago and put some of them together recently.

    VERY nice. Made one myself many years ago as part of the "Gadgets" seen on Q-Branch workbench in Goldfinger. -Ed

    Nice work! Be cautious on the LTK chips, only rarely do the screen-used chips come up for sale. Different markings.

    Cool thermos, Ed. Don't believe I've seen the top two images there. The holes in the side were for a handle?

    Thanks, Matt. Seems the quickest way for anyone to tell is by the crest colour. I've done a bit of my own research on these, and it's to my understanding that there are around 5 different versions of the chips - none with the green crest being screen-used.

    I have a few that were doing the rounds on ebay a year ago, sold with two decks and four dice

    Additionally, I have this plain deck, which looks to be the one used in the film

    Made this paper coaster too. I need to finish the swizzle sticks to compliment this one.

    Yep, they're the ones. Sad to see the non-SA chips sell for so much! That set I got above with the 3 chips/2 decks/4 dice was only 60 bucks.

    I have some spare original screen used LTK chips and CR OC chips somewhere if anyone wants genuine ones. Been buried up in the loft for years.

    I don't think Jim sells them at that price often. They've been listed at eBay for six years (?). The hexagonal $500 and the $100 on eBay are rarer labels, but the Paulson home play chips start at about $3 each on eBay. I have seen the rarer labels for home play go for $20 to $100 or so each, though, in auctions and private sales . . .

    These are the screen used ones

    The plain chips were also used in GE -{

    It looks as though both plain roulette and poker/blackjack chips were used for GoldenEye. Those look like $50 green and $100 black chips on Xenia's far left, besides several colors of roulette chips from the Casino de Isthmus.

    And . . . though these chips did not continue to a third film, the casino's lampshades reappear in The World Is Not Enough!

    with all due respect matt, if you look at the number of tassels around the edge of the shade, the GE ones have many more than the TWINE ones.

    the GE tassels are longer too.

    Close, but no cigar B-)
