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! 🙂

Always glad to see another of your little Tintin gems, in particular a project the author is proud of 👍

Is this your best one yet Greg? Sure feels like it to me. This is a stunner!

Haha! Thanks Martin! I have to say, I'm quite happy with how the poses turned out as well. Getting Tintin to brace himself against the stone was not that easy to do. A lot of unnatural body poses involved that only look right in context.

Fabulous kit. After checking references and a visit to the Flygvapenmusem in our summer vacation I decided to stick to my trusty AK Real Colours.

I got the ol' Heller kit. Following with interest. Did you have to mix the colors or could you use them straight from the jar?

Thanks mates! I used the colours straight out of the jar, with lighter US od freckles over the lighter UK od.

I have three of those kits in the stash waiting for a triple build, so I will follow with great interest. You nailed the colors pretty much perfect. It's quite an elusive greenish brown that looks different on each photo, and not easy to mix yourself. BTW, did you have problems getting the nose weights in place?

Well, it's not too roomy. I used material for tyre balancing in nose and behind the cockpit bulkhead, appr. 15g.

You're welcome anytime! I started a seperate album with pictures from the museum.

Decals went on nicely, but are a little translucent and the yelloe could be more saturated. Micro Sol ist just doing it's job...

Wheels fixed. Washes need a little more removing, when the second layer has dried.
