Now 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.

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

Thanks 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. 😉

Thanks guys! I took some pictures last night, so there's a couple more (small) projects yet to be posted. Stay tuned! 🙂

Right, well that's that for a while, going to be taking a break from this for a bit. It's going in the right direction, ...
Prosjekt: Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat

Made a start on the 1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat, I'm having my wings permanently folded, this is just all dry fitted so far, I'll add more detail later when the wing is added. No point cleaning up the inside part of the wing of ejection holes, as this will be hidden behind the wing. Think it looks ok so far.
2 August, 14:11
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
So today I've semi painted up the other sides wing root fold system. And started dry fitting the engine. Need to pick a scheme from the Techmod decals at some point, thinking of 1 or 4 so far.
2 August, 14:19
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Ooh landing gear and engine support structure. Just needs a few touchups, thats it done for now, have to glue it all up straight away, doing it later would be a pain in the ass. Looks ok, I'm no expert on these things. Just for fun build in-between other stuff.
8 August, 12:51
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
I think, as an engine that'll do really, don't need anymore detail on it. Couldn't see it if it was there anyway. I'll paint the rear bank of cylinders, but that's probably it.
9 August, 13:43
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
That's all for today, making the most of what you get in the kit, only added bits of wire, no sense going mad with detailing parts you wont see. Prop tomorrow, finish the rear bank of Cylinders, and make a start on the cockpit. Looking nice so far, looks like an engine to me.
9 August, 13:43
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Engine, exhaust manifold system and front bulkhead done. For what you can see, the kit parts are good enough. No point spending lots of money on a resin engine. Just some wire and a bit of paint.
10 August, 14:05
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
That's it for today, don't think I can handle seatbelts as well. So far so good, looks like a cockpit, when it's in the plane, you won't see anything. I tarted up the kit seat, as I couldn't stomach making the PE eduard one.
11 August, 19:54
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
So I can do seat belts, but I hate doing seatbelts, not brilliant, but for all you'll see, it'll do me. My fear of PE is lessening, I'm getting a bit more confident each time, next the top straps. Then I can tackle the joining of the fuselage halves together, which is tricky on the 1/32 Trumpeter F4F-4 Wildcat, as a few parts need extra sanding to fit. Looks ok to me so far.
13 August, 11:00
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Seatbelts done, that'll do. With my eyesight it'll look amazing from far away lol 😆 but for me, as a learning exercise, looks fine. I would wholeheartedly recommend HGW Laser seatbelts, they make it a lot easier.
13 August, 13:09
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Tomorrow I'll make a start on the Empennage and getting everything to fit. I'm not using any of the PE hinges either. Then wings.
13 August, 18:29
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Hmm, this is going to be interesting. As usual no idea what I'm doing, just riding by the seat of my pants. I'll try and block in all the colours then look into weathering. Who knows how this'll look.
30 August, 14:06
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Well, it's blueish grey now, or greyish blue. Because I'm a cantankerous stubborn fool, I paint everything with brushes, Main colours blocked in, teeny tiny fiddly bits added, now I've just got to build some more layers up, start lightening and shading areas. It won't be brilliant, but it may look good on my shelf. Which is the main thing, due to lack of space, pretty much all the aircraft I'm going to build will have folded wings.
31 August, 19:44
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Very nice, the wing internal colour looks spot on👌, l tried mixing this colour but struggled to get right tone.
Nice looking kit, what do you make of the Trumpeter kits??
Good luck with the next steps 👍👍
31 August, 21:02
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Hello Mr D, so far I've only looked at early Trumpeter kits, panel lines are a bit too light for me, the early ones have gimmicks like working wing folds, and the PE hinges, but they build up quite well, and to me look like what it says on the box. I've got a lot more Trumpeter and Hobby Boss kits to build up in the future.
31 August, 21:17
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
As is my usual way, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, just going with the flow, it seems to want to be like this.
A very, very long way to go still, it'll be a lot lighter than it is now, and not so stark. I know, I shouldn't weather it until later, but i can't help it, it's a curse.
2 September, 16:23
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
It's a cracking looking model 👍👍
The weathering is looking good nice balance.
The internal metal parts ....the yellow/green..Did you mix or have the colour ready in a bottle
2 September, 17:14
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Mr D, the green is just mixed up as and when I need it, it's just a caramel mixed with green paint.
2 September, 17:20
![](/profiles/img/141759-133-s.png)
Thanks Ian, good to know...l tried mixing from yellow n green but didnt look right.
Cheers 👍👍
3 September, 16:11
![](/profiles/img/118183-835-s.jpg)
Mr D, try black and yellow. It sounds strange but it works. The more yellow, the more like yellow zinc chromate it looks. More black gives you the OD version.
3 September, 16:28
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Right, well that's that for a while, going to be taking a break from this for a bit. It's going in the right direction, but it's turning into a long term project, I'll come back to it in a few months time with fresh eyes.
