Stromberg base from James Bond " the spy who loved me"

[Jamesfett]

Thanks for these pictures i already have all of them and some more... but i'm open if some people have other rare ones... i've done a big search on pictures on the net and a lot of screen captures too... but my main problem are the stairs near the helicopteres and satelites dishes areas cause a lot are mate paintings which are not correct compare to the model...

I assumed you had these, I just thought it would be fun to post them.

As far as accuracy, as the different things in the film don't line up, any adjustments you need to make I am sure will be awesome.

That's going to be great when finished.

Good morning. A very intriguing project, one I would have never thought of. Very well done. I cannot wait to see it finished.
Cheers,

Thank you very much... i was out for a week so was only abble to continue to work on the 3D interior... waiting for the base of the feet to be finished to print and then will be abble to begin to print the different floors...

 

[batnemo]

So a lot has been done... about the interior, i still have the satellite system to model and 2 stair supports... then i have to make some little accessories on the outside... and the 3D files will be finished...

I am on the verge of a "Happy Cry" and my wife is still mad I did not cry at our wedding.

I think that you have your priorities right

[Jamesfett]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is so sweet!
I bought the soundtrack album in 77 _just_ because it had a picture of Atlantis on the back...

I've always liked the underwater habitat in a movie. I remember seeing the " comedy ", Hello down there as a kid. There was an underwater house in that movie. It looked a lot better as a kid, lol. The Stormberg base still holds up. And it can rise above the surface, which is a bonus. Great work on the model, ; )

 

[joberg]

Yes! My kind of scale Great work so far and eager to see your next update

 

[batnemo]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big thank you...

Thank you very much... i still love that base certainly the best for me...

 

[batnemo]

It fits perfectly... i'm completely in love with it and more because it's my first 3D model...
Now i will have to sand all and make the different silicon molds... and in the same time i will begin to print the interior, which is not exactly an interior but more the inside of the dome...

 

[Jamesfett]

It just gets better and better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[batnemo]

satellites 3D modeled...

 

[joberg]

Yep...it's F.A.B. What kind of casting are you going to do? Slush casting or other?

I didn't know the words slush casting... but i will make silicon molds of some parts like the dome, the base of the feet, etc to be abble to cast them in resin and fiber glass which will be stronger than the 3D printed ones...
