Roof and the door frames done. The major body sections are screwed together, so it is easier to work on one section at a time, when the detail work begins.

I think we know who stole the blueprints ;-)
Great work Marine Boy, this thread is fun again!

While I think of that, it may have been worth contacting Lotus themselves for drawings of the Esprit S1.

Probably a better panel fit than they managed at Hethel!

Progress this week. The build has slowed a little, as i'm now back at work.
The roof lining and rear wall in place. Did a quick check to make sure there was enough headroom.
Started on the rear bodywork.

Looks about right, with a headliner in it should be right.

I will have to reshape the roof, to look more domed.
Most of the tailgate done.

Mmm, yeah, I did just run my finger over the AutoArt one and there is a slight curve there. The rest looks great though.

Just a few pics taken to check overall look and proportions. I had to adjust the roof pillars to get the roofline to flow smoothly. The wheels and tyres are taken from an RC Porsche Carrera GT. The rear wheels are slightly undersize, but is not too obvious. So far, so good.
Just wicked cool.

Really taking shape now. Do you plan on getting some accurate wheels 3D printed?

Here is the Bond watch I've been working on.

No, as that would be quite costly. The wheels i'm using have a separate insert for the spokes. I'll remove them and make new inserts from scratch. As the front pair are different to the rears, it's not worth making a mould. I'll just make each wheel individually.

I see, I'm sure you'll be able to do it, you're very talented.

The speed and accuracy you've executed this is nothing short of incredible! Would you share a quick overview of the steps you take in a form of a mini tutorial? Not that the rest of us would be able to replicate your process! However, how do you cut your plastic sheets, what glues do you use, etc.?
I know. If its this quick, make a couple to sell.
Personally I would love one in marine-mode that I could hang from the ceiling. Then again, I'd like a 1/6th Little Nellie to hang as well.

Some work done on the back end.
I have plans to tackle other Bond vehicles in future, Little Nellie is definitely on the list.

Very nice,
Gives one a sense of pride that 2 Norfolk creations will forever be associated with Bond. The second being Little Nellie as Ken Wallis was based in Norfolk.
