Hello everyone! What you can see right now is the part of the movie with Sir Roger Moore and Barbara Bach The Spy Who Loved Me from 1977. Today’s episode will be about Bond car-submarine which was build based on Lotus Esprit S1. What is quite interesting this underwater vehicle literally exists and is able to dive and climb with divers in it. Wet Nellie (as this how it was called) was placed in the leased storage and upon complention of filming, after 10 years no one claimed the contents so it was placed on auction. The buyer paid less then 100$ for the unit without knowing what is inside the storage locker! Then new onwer had exterior restored and the submarine was again put up for auction as Bond Car in 2013. It was bought for 550 000 Pounds by… Elon Musk! Who planned to convert it into the functional car-submarine from the film. Musk stated that he plans to use Tesla Motors' electric drive train in making his conversion a reality. I am quite courius when his vision becomes true but For now let’s focus on the model kit. It is a gift from my friend to challange me a bit with something different then cars and I guess he managed! Fujimi Bond submarine can be build with different set ups, with headlight opened or closed and with or without some guns at the rear. It is quite easy to build because if You want to take it easy way you can just focus on the exterior as interior is not visible at all. I decided to prime it with white and then go with white base color, It does the job but it is quite difficult as you paint white on white. Next time I would go with grey, white primer and then the base coat. Thare are couple of things that I would do better next time but I treat them as lessons learnt! Thanks a lot for listening to this long introduction, enjoy the video and have a wunderfull day! Cheers!

Recording just for entertaining purposes, there might be as many ideas for doing it as number of all diecast in whole world :D
I am a beginner but I am not afraid of mistakes :)
