Jeroen Ottens Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Hi, I just finished building my replica of James Bond's ultimate spycar, the Aston Martin DB5. It features (almost) all the spygadgets a spy could wish for: - revolving licenseplates - bumperpushers - a bulletproof shield that can rise from the trunk - a phone in the door Furthermore it has some ordinary car features as well: - The doors, trunk & hood can open - The front wheels can be steered using the steeringwheel - A V12 engine - 2 seats + 1 bench in the back Pictures and more details can be found on my cuusoo page. Leg godt, Jeroen Quote
Wiseman_2 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 What, no ejector seat? Just kidding, this is a great MOC, the shape of the original car must be pretty difficult to render in brick form. As a die hard Bond fan this gets my vote... but the Lotus from The Spy Who Loved Me will still be my favourite Bond car Quote

As a die hard Bond fan this gets my vote... but the Lotus from The Spy Who Loved Me will still be my favourite Bond car Yeah I was seriously tempted to do the ejector seat. I even had a working prototype, but in the end I decided to go for the looks instead of the gadget... Then on the other hand, I already made some working ejector seats in my F14 :) Jeroen Quote

Jeroen Ottens Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 This amazing car have the Style as a James Bond car have to have. But are there some nice Bond features ? :D Of course there are :) - revolving licenseplates - a bulletproof shield in the back - a phone in the door - tire cutters on the wheels - a radarscreen in the dashboard The only thing missing is the passenger ejection seat, I couldn't think of a small enough mechanism for it :( The bricks are coming in to make it in real life. I'll post some video once I finished the real thing... Jeroen Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Hi, As promised before. I have finished the Aston Martin in real Lego. All features are working as expected :) More pictures can be found on my cuusoo site. Leg godt, Jeroen Ottens Edited June 29, 2012 by Jeroen Ottens Quote
Jeroen Ottens Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 Very nice. Your link is broken, by the way. Thanks for the comment and for pointing out that the link wasn't working... I have repaired the link. Jeroen Quote
timslegos Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Looks great. I love the front hood design. tim Quote
BrettBrick Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 Love your model of the DB5. Is it possible to get the instructions from you? Just one thing. I think the engine should be a straight 6 rather than a V12 for this model. Quote

DLuders Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I just received the LDD .lxf file of this EXCELLENT Lego model from Jeroen Ottens (by sending him an e-mail by clicking on his login name at the left part of his posts). I added my support on his Lego Cuusoo page. There is a lot of functionality in a small package -- Bravo! Quote
visionslr5 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Hey, just wondering if I would be able to get a few more angles of high-res pictures of this car? It looks amazing, by the way! Quote
rm8 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Amazing car and so many details in small scale:) Bond fans, i think you should find Bond's community and post link there:)))) Quote
07jkearney Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 A fantastic idea, brilliantly executed, although Cuusoo says that the project has been deleted?! Quote
visionslr5 Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 I noticed that. Why would it be deleted? That seems odd Quote
piterx Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 wow! that's impressive man :) i really like it! Quote
CisFran Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 A fantastic idea, brilliantly executed, although Cuusoo says that the project has been deleted?! I noticed that. Why would it be deleted? That seems odd The original post was created more than a year ago. The cuuso link was deleted maybe because there's already a winner for the said period Quote
skriblez Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Put it up on Cuusoo again. I want one of these cars! Quote
