Polar Lights (Aurora) James Bond 1/8 Scale

[fraley1701]

Some pictures of my recently completed Polar Lights (Aurora) James Bond figure model -1/8 scale styrene plastic. The sheen is a bit enhanced in the photos, and comes form the clear matt varnish I applied. I should have used matt medium instead, and I will rectify that error at a later date. In any event, it was a fun build and I learned some new techniques along the way! Enjoy!!

I think it looks fantastic. The extra foliage looks great on the kit, and the rock fence is excellent.

Very nice! You've managed to coax an excellent likeness from a weak kit.

Thank you so much! It was challenging and as I was painting the face, I kept looking at pictures of Sean Connery in Goldfinger for reference. I think the sculpted face is too wide, but I tried to compensate with shadows and highlights. I appreciate the complements!
