We have a themed weekend coming soon at the Helicopter Museum so I thought I should get cracking with a Model Looking through my meagre stash I pulled out this Airfix kit. Goldfinger was the third film in the James Bond series released in 1964. A fairly basic kit the figures come with interlocking bases although in a fight scene.

But I do remember having that warning from Maddie before I started, and boy was she right! Looking forward to this one ... Good Luck

Looking at Bond's stance - I seemed to remember a fight sequence in the vault at Fort Knox - a bit of research and I soon had the part I wanted As you can see Bond does not have a gun in the vault so I was going to have to modify his right hand. Oddjob's hand seemed right to be holding the steel bar so I copied it with my moulding wax and light cure putty Now it was just a case of cleaning off the flash and drilling the hand to accept the rod The original hand and gun were cut off without anesthetic (Bond was brave) and the new hand stuck on and the rod attached.

Posts: 709 Group: IPMS Member Member #284 Joined: November 19, 2010	Ok so while I'm waiting for the cement to set, I need to get on with the vault A shoebox will form both the storage and the display - the back would need to have a wallpaper This was made in MS Word and tiled as an A4 and printed with a colour laser. Next I made a liner with some recycled plastic wallboard because it narrows slightly toward the back, it gives a sense of perspective. The gap at the top of the box is space for LED lighting and wiring that will be closed off with another piece of wallboard

The bars protecting the gold are made from drinking straws first sprayed black.
