Junkanoo Float

In the James Bond movie, Thunderball, he attends a Junkanoo festival with floats.  I am doing James Bond as one of my project and I am basing him on the early movies.  So it seems right to do a few floats.  I am also working on American cities and so Rose Parade floats might be a good idea too.

I am using various scrap materials because I don't want to actually spend any money on this project.

This float will have two lego style bricks.
A few Eagle Games horses.
A finger skate board.
The upper half of two beach figures, these are their left over legs!  Saved for the next float.
The horse riding parts of these to Airfix Napoleonics are being matched to the upper bodies for the beach figures!

    I'm a big James Bond fan, and I'm looking forward to follow your project.
    James Bond is not a 'theme' often found in modelling or garming.

    I love the old Sean Connery James Bond movies. I operate in a unified / alternate history universe for my gaming which is mostly historical but with a few detours here and there. It includes James Bond. I am working, in my head, about James Bond in WWII and in Vietnam.

    I 'grew up' with Roger Moore as James Bond, but one of the Best Bond's IMHO is George Lazenby In Her Majesty's Secret Service.

      The Roger Moore movies are good, but he is a little too smarmy for me. Lazenby is very good but suffers from a rather lame movie. Since Bond and Blofeld knew each other it seemed a poor thing to have Bond pretend to be someone else.
