I was not aware the late Connery was so fond of the car he bought one
for himself many decades later, apparently without the machine guns in
front and "ejector seat?....you must be joking!"

Sad that he was in such advanced years he never got the opportunity to
drive it that much.

A life-size Lego version was unveiled at the London Lego store just
over a week ago. It took about 57 days to build and weighs two-thirds
of the weight of the real car.

<https://www.thedrive.com/news/this-life-sized-lego-aston-martin-db5-is-made-from-347954-bricks>

According to Lego, the iconic Aston is made up of 347,954 plastic
bricks and even features several of Bond's gadgets to lose the
bad guys. It's got a rotating license plate and a bad-guy ejector
seat. In fact, part of the roof structure and the passenger seat
is missing, making it look like Bond's nemesis has already been
ejected from the car.

Amazing but how could a Lego double-decker bus be only 270,844 bricks?
Not to scale I would imagine, lol.

I was watching that Collector's Call on MeTV yesterday and some spy
memorabilia collector claimed to have the (well-preserved) tarantula
from Dr. No.

I always chuckle when I see that scene because it's so obvious they just
filmed Bond in bed, then put a tarantula on the screen and filmed that.

Today they'd just CGI it in.

I believe the tarantula was on a glass plate in the room with Connery.

Yeah that would work too, to the relief of Connery.

Yep. Most of the other models that article mentions are just regular
Lego sets you can buy in the shop. The Aston Martin though was a
custom-made life-size version. There have been other life size models,
including a Lego Technic Lamborghini.

Yep, that was another of the life-size Lego models. It was in 2013 in
Times Square, New York.

There's no such thing as "Legos" - it's another silly incorrect Americanism.

The correct terms are "Lego", "Lego bricks", "Lego sets", etc. (In
fact, the 100% corect terms require the company/toy name to be in
sapital letters "LEGO" appended with the registered trademark symbol of
a superscript R in a circle.)

The models are 1:1 size ... hence "life-size".

The Lego bricks they're made of are normal size Lego bricks (although
some of the models do cheat and have custom bricks, but they are still
regular size). That's why the Aston Martin above required 347,954
bricks. Due to the weight involved, most life-size models do have some
sort of metal framework inside to support them.
