I've been saying that I've been working on repairing/upgrading my Tintin model collection. I'm not quite finished (still 2-3 on the workbench), but I wanted to take a few pics of the new display now that it's coming together. I'm going to take some close-up pics once I finish off the last few.

Alec K
Greg, this is really outstanding, a presentation quality few ever achieve. And considering that you had to repair it all, doubly impressive 👍

bughunter
Wow Greg, not only quality models - as we know from your build logs here - but also a very nice presentation 👍

Nathan Dempsey
Wow, it's nice to see them all together. What a great display.

LucLuke B
Really cool! Can't wait for the Unicorn. Are you going to do that with the broken mast? Or even three copies of the same ship?

Thanks guys! I used to have my Tintin collection in an IKEA glass display case, but it outgrew it (and adding extra shelves was partly to blame for having one fall and crush several of the models below it, and damage some of the other ones). At the moment, the only projects that are still "ghosts" (i.e. no figures) are:

- The BMW motorcycle and side-car (Soviets)
- the wooden canoe (Broken Ear)
- the ZIL limo and Land Rover (Picaros)

The Armoured car (Red Sea Sharks) requires no driver to be seen, but I did try to stick a small Tintin face (just eyes really) peeking out of the Bordurian tank (Calculus Affair), but I gave up... and even though I think I could get a prop motor in, I'm at a total loss as to how to insert a pilot into the Beechcraft Bonanza... I may have to redo that one eventually. I'm already planning on redoing the DHC Chipmunk (upgrade from the old Airfix kit to the nice AZModel kit that Robert sent me), so what's one more, right?

Greg Baker
At the moment, on the workbench, I've got:
- The Mil-3 Helicopter (now with a spinning rotor and a pilot climbing in) (Picaros)
- The yellow Opel Olympia (Otokar's Sceptre), just waiting for a new 3D printed motorcycle to chase it.
- My yellow Tiger Moth (Black Island). This one bugs me... some of the struts broke and I seem to have lost them... do I just steal the needed parts from my other box, or do I rebuild it? Haven't decided, so it's still sitting.

Greg Baker
As for new projects... I'm currently working on my Model T (Congo), but trying to decide if I want to include the little train as I first planned or just stick with the car itself. I've also got a half started Red Rackham pirate ship (using the HMS Bounty as a base for a kitbash). And LucLuke B - I've got a Soleil Royal kit that I plan to turn into the Unicorn! Oh, and currently in the 3D model building stage... the Carreidas 160 (Flight 714).

So, I think I'm gonna need a bigger shelf... 😉

Daniel Klink
Wonderful and unque collection Greg! You should really think about some kind of private Exhibtion!

Donald Dickson II
A great display for a fantastic collection of work!

Cuajete
Wow... I have no words for this. I love it!
I'm glad to see your collection again in this big, bright new display case.
Congrats!

Alex K
One of the most amazing collections to ever grace the scalemates news feed... Every praise in the above comments is so well deserved... Maybe one day we will see such displays of your other collections (Studio Ghibli, DC Comics etc) too?

Julian Herrero aka Yuri
Impressive

Gary Kitchen
Agree with everything said above. There are some amazing modellers on this forum and some truly inspirational dioramas but the elegance and imagination of this collection is a joy to behold every time. How many more can you extract from the source material is the question? 👍

Greg Baker
Ha! Thanks Gary! Don't worry... there's PLENTY more projects to be mined here. Some bigger than others... and some more likely to see the light of day than others, but I've list almost 100 more potential projects on my blog~ Stay tuned!

Pierre Pierre
Magnifique ! looking forward for the upcoming inspiration !

Michael Kohl
Very neat.

Finn
Awesome!

Juergen Klinglhuber
Fantasic!

Lost_Erik
Wonderful!

Greg Baker
Thanks everyone! A few more (scale/sizing) adjustments to a couple of projects and I'm going to take some new final pics of each and will update this album.

Pierre Pierre
Yessss
