Wow! This is incredible.
Will it be in marine mode or regular street mode?

I'm going to build it as a regular road car with opening doors, pop-up headlamps, etc. Building the sub version would preclude a lot of display options. (i can't really leave the doors open or pose Bond outside of it!).
Building a dual mode version would be impossible without a lot of add-on parts, plus it would drag the build time out to months or even years. For the same reason, i'm going to skimp on engine / transmission detail. The wheels / tyres are being taken from an old RC car, so i may just install all the radio gear as well, into it.

More work done on the front end. The base of the "A" pillars was very fiddly to get looking right. I've used up all my supply of 2mm Plasticard, so the larger parts will have to wait for a bit.

Hi guys, sorry for late ansewer but I was on holidays.
You were right, it will be easier and better to buy whe whole new figure. I have already ordered TrueType body clone. I chose this head sculpt
Now I am looking for a clothes. I want to use a grey suit he was wearing in Skyfall. I found several offers on ebay which isn´t exactly the same but looks good. For example this one- https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-6-Scale-...rentrq:31fcefcc1680ac3d62c8dbaefffbe4ac|iid:1. What do you think? Is there anyone with experience with suit like this? I know that there are better suits on ebay but I have got a limited budget.

Those choices look ok to me. Looking forward to seeing your Bond.

Ignore what I was saying about a larger Little Nellie. I checked out what I thought was a larger one today and it's the same as the one I have. It's still not 1/36 as it says on the box though. It's definitely 1/24. My bad guys, it just looked bigger in the packaging.
Oh well... glad to know that I have the one and only size then already.
I still want a Little Nellie in 1/6th scale. (that doesn't sound right...)

Yeah, so do I.

My very first Little Nellie broke in two places of the frame and wheel strut, my second one that has the Connery figure almost broke, but is still intact, so I’m happy with it and satisfied for the moment unless a 1/12, 1/8, 1/6 or even a 1/18 version is released!
What are you doing with it that would "almost break"? Spinning around with it while humming the YOLT theme?

LOL, it was my son mixing up Japan-bound genres and pretending to be Godzilla!

I'm glad they did one without Connery in it as I've always hated Corgi figures.

Some more progress, after my order for Plasticard came in.
Awesome! You work fast!
