Some cool stuff you have there Mike !! The completed model is gonna look pretty awesome with all your mods plus the extra figures. Are you going to put it all in a display case with a diorama, some fine gravel/grit on the base or something like that would look very appropriate for something as grand as an Aston Martin DB5 methinks ?? Kev.

Thanks Kev, it will def be a diorama, I think you have hit the nail on the head when you talk about a display case, I will need somthing to keep the dust off, thanks for suggesting it. My DB5 will be my winter project, but I can see it taking another 2 years, but hey I'm in no rush, as I always say modelling is a journey not a destination.

Hi Mike (or should I say James ?)  Have you seen the 1/8 DB5's on this website : http://www.diamondcars.de/index.htm
Standard road car and James Bond versions with some useful photos including one that looks like it has REAL smoke coming out of the exhaust !!  The site has been added to my 'Cyber Garage' Index if you need to find it again anytime ?? Kev.
