Casino Royale 2006

Some really terrific miniature sequences in this movie, including a sinking Venetian building and a fictional prototype airliner known in the movie as the Skyfleet S570.

All the VFX including the miniature work was supervised by the very capable Steve Begg. 

The miniatures for the film were built by the Late Bill Pearson and his crew.

The impressive aircraft models are seen in a miniature hangar with groups of live action people composited into the shot. Pretty much everything in the shot bar the people is miniature. There is a completed aircraft miniature that is towed out of the hangar and one which remains in the hangar modeled as if still under construction and green in colour.

The "still under construction" model.

 

The distant flying aircraft seen in the background of the airport chase sequence are also surprisingly miniatures. In this case they were commercial model kits painted up with bright LED landing lights shot against black with a moving camera to simulate the motion.

The police car that is tumbled about by the jet blast is a 1/12th scale miniature.

There is a spectacular sequence where a Venetian building sinks into the lagoon done in miniature.
The sinking building is composited into live action plates in the wide shots but for the medium and close up shots its all miniature, shot in the Pinewood tank.
