There are only two complete translations of the LXX ever published in
English so far as I know, Brenton (1851) and Thomson (1808). I don't know
that either are available separately, though Brenton is the parallel col. in
the old Bagster LXX (still in print by Hendrickson, I think).

The much better translation is the new NETS, New English translation of the
LXX. Unfortunately, only Psalms is presently available, though I understand
that the Pentateuch is not far off. I do not know the status of the rest of
the books. Psalms and Pentateuch are by Al Pietersma (who is a very helpful
member of this list when it comes to LXX queries). 

There are some other projects underway as well, in French, Italian, and
English. You can find details on them in Jobes & Silva's, *Intro/LXX,* pp.
76f.
