Greg BakerNow this one, I'm quite proud of. It's one of the most iconic scenes from one of the most popular Tintin albums, Tintin in Tibet. As Tintin struggles to hold on to the rope above, Captain Haddock dangle precariously off a large cliff. This one actually started as a special request from one of the Tintin Facebook pages. I had originally thought about doing my take on the cover, with the footprints in the snow, but was easily convinced this would be better. Strangely enough, I'm actually most proud of the rock face. It wasn't easy to get a jumble of rocks in the right place so that Tintin would both have a boulder to push against, and also allow for the "rope" to dangle down in the right place.
The rope has a little bit of CA glue to help keep it stiff and straight, but it still dangles freely. In the end, it turned out better than I thought it would.

CuajeteVery nice scene. Good job anytime, Greg.
Congrats!
Recently saw Tintin figures on Aliexpress. I guess they are not 1/72 scale:

Greg BakerThanks Cuajete! Yeah, those figures are definitely not 1/72 scale. In fact, the Tintin collectors Facebook page was just warning people about being taken in by "fakes from China" during their hunt for Tintin-related treasures. I think for most people, it probably doesn't matter a lot, but there is actually quite a well-established collectors market for "official" Tintin items. I use quotes on the word official, because I'm not quite sure how legit some of them are, but there's a few very well known collections make by more traditional craftsmen techniques that command quite a price. I'm personally not a huge fan of a lot of them because, in my opinion, the quality leaves something to be desired. However, like a lot of things... beautiful nostalgia glasses can cover over a lot of mistakes. 😉
