LOCATIONS

Roger Moore in London

Our friend Pete Brooker put together a location guide of all the London locations mentioned by Sir Roger Moore in his memoir with Gareth Owen, My Word is My Bond.

From the hospital where Moore was born, to Buckingham Palace where he collects his CBE on March 9th 1999, this guide is must read for any Roger Moor fan.


CARS

Progress on the Agora DB5 1:8 Scale build

I’ve completed working on the Pack 10 - 11 of the Aston Martin DB5 1:8 scale car from Agora Models. The body is starting to shape up - it’s fun adding all the details like mirrors, badges, doors and windows.

“I believe I said bring it back in one piece, not bring back one piece."

The rear lights and ‘oil slick dispenser’ was a bit tricky to fit properly in the body, but after a few tries and some help from online video and ‘thebondarmory’ Raymond it worked out.

These lights were a bit difficult to get right, but worked out in the end.

I’m now working on the final box, Pack 12, Stages 93 - 100, which include lots of exterior body parts like the bumpers, headlights, but also the secret weapon drawer under the seat and the remote control for the lights and sounds.
