Hey guys, I'm not sure how interested any of you are in this (probably 0 actually haha), but I've just been mingling around with my new QOS DVD with the gunbarrel and have put together a few different versions and made my own wallpaper. The gunbarrels basically consist of placing the older Bond actors in the new QOS barrel, remastering their colours etc.

Then I put them all in a big white wallpaper. Enjoy:

GUN BARRELS:
Sean Connery
George Lazenby
Roger Moore
Timothy Dalton
Pierce Brosnan
Original Daniel Craig Shot

WALLPAPER:

Thanks for checking it out. B)

Great work. I love the wallpapers.

But the new Gunbarrel design is really dull (worse than CR). It's sad that they dumped Binders classic Black & White illustrations for both CR and QOS. And totally unnecessary.

I agree, I hope it gets re-designed for Bond 23.

Thanks a lot guys. B)

Actually, the two times I saw the gunbarrel in the cinema I wasn't a big fan of it. But now I've come to be quite fond of it. It's simple, realistic, and clean. I'm not sure if I like it as much as the Pierce/CR gunbarrels, but it's quite cool I feel.

Fantastic work. No Bond, without the gunbarrel. I love the gunbarrels since I saw my first Bond movie. I love how they all have their different pose, how they all have a different design (or colour pattern) and the variation in music used during the gunbarrel.

The wallpaper is fantastic and the only reason I don't have it set as mine is because the white strains my eyes a little.

Thanks a lot guys. Mr Teddy Bear - sorry to be blinding you. I revised the wallpapers a tad. Is this any better?

I didn't expect you to go to the trouble of altering it just for me, but the new one is great and will be my new wallpaper. Thanks a lot!

Haha. Nah, I felt like incorporating it anyway. Please don't feel obliged to use it. But thanks for the feedback and the kind words. B)

Brilliant! I'm a fan of the Quantum of Solace gunbarrel--my only complaint is that it was too brief!--and these look fantastic.
