English musician and producer Matthew Bellamy just featured in a Bond-themed campaign for Manson Guitars, together with an Aston Martin DB5 and his wife, model Elle Evans (who once appeared in Maxim magazine as a Goldfinger golden girl).


CLOTHING

S.I.S. Training Gear jacket V2

You might know SIS Training Gear’s Skyfall PTI Tracksuit Jacket.

They recently released the V2 with refined fit, improved detailing, and a few subtle material upgrades that make it feel even closer to the screen-worn piece.

This V2 is almost sold out and it may be the last time they produce these jackets.


CARS

Progress on the Agora DB5 1:8 Scale build

Finished working on the front bumper with battering rams and rotating licence plate, plus the left and right headlights.

Next up, nr 97 - 98: the front machine guns and weapons tray.

If you are wondering how big this 1:8 scale model will be, make sure to watch the latest Instagram Reel where I compare the DB5 to familiar items in your collection.

Follow more of the progress on Instagram Stories.
