Hello!

following up to my previous James Bond inspired miniatures (links at the end of the post), I can now present: Diamonds are forever!

(the whole movie sequence in one shot)

And without that photo-shopping effect, the set looks like this:

800x493.jpg

So we have the attacking helicopters...

800x1280.jpg

.. one gets shot down...

800x1278.jpg

Blofeld tries to escape in his mini-submarine:

while underneath James Bond is escaping from his improvised prison room.

 

There is the red balloon...

... and a lot of action:

800x507.jpg

I hope you like it.

 

This oil rig was actually more difficult to do than the previous miniatures. I had to accept a lot of compromises. And I ran out of certain bricks :sceptic: which led to more compromises.

I wanted the helicopters to be in dark green, but my bricks will not support this.

 

Previous scenes:

The Man With The Golden Gun

You Only Live Twice

What a great build of such an exciting action sequence. Love Blofeld's minisub in particular. Thanks for sharing!

The oil rig works really well at this scale, I think. DAF is not a Bond film I am as familiar with as some others, so I'm not too fussed with details.

I had missed your previous micro-Bonds and they are amazing, too (YOLT in particular!) Here's looking forward to what else you put together! :thumbup:

Thanks. I had to watch the corresponding scenes over and over to get the model somewhat close.

I don't know yet which Bond movie may be next. I have some ideas though :grin:

However, DAF is the seventh James Bond movie. It is from 1971 and pretty dated by now.
