Greg BakerOh my. Neither one of us would have survived that operation. This was one of those kits I was holding on to "until I'm good enough" to tackle. I doubt that day will ever actually come. For some kits you just have to say "let the water flow" and let it be what it will be. 🙂

bughunterThis reminds me of an old joke:
A drunken man comes home and his wife is waiting for him with a broom. He asks her: "Do you want to clean or are you going to fly off again?"

Greg BakerOn the weekend I was cleaning out the weeds on my driveway and my wife literally asked me where the broom was... I started snickering...

Greg BakerClearing out these little side projects. Doesn't this one just seem like the perfect start to any Tintin adventure?

where did you get the figure from?

Greg BakerAnother little project that was a request. A funny scene from the album, The Shooting Star - Captain Haddock meets his old friend, Captain Chester and the two begin a strange "handshake".
12 June, 13:47
Greg BakerI probably wouldn't have put this project on the rotation on my own, at least not yet, but it did bring me back some fond memories of taking my son to school when he was very young. He really liked watching the Tintin animated tv series, and he really got a kick out of this scene. So, for a few weeks afterwards, when I still walked him to school, we used to do the "boodle, boodle, boodle…. Oi, oi, oi!" Handshake to say goodbye before the bell rung. Makes me smile now to think of it.

Greg BakerAnother little Tintin "appetizer" project. This one would not really have been on the top of my list, but I got a request from another fan, so here we are. I can't take any credit for the Llama model. I got it off Cults3d.com and modified it a bit (who ever heard of a warrior riding an armoured Llama anyway?!). Fans of the books know this is the scene right before Captain Haddock gets sprayed in the face with water by the Llama - a running joke throughout the album. I actually wanted to depict that scene, but the request was specifically for this panel, so who am I to argue. 😉

Greg BakerUpdated my final pics. Nothing much changed, but I couldn't stand the "Tintin with one black eye" look. So I carefully re-did his eyes so that they're now the same size.

Greg BakerHere’s a question. On a Spitfire, can the little door under the canopy be opened during flight if the canopy is still closed? Or did the canopy have to be open to open the door? I’m planning a little project and wondering if I can just leave that door open, or if I have to leave the whole canopy open.

Greg BakerYeah. They all look MUCH better with figures. With these latest two (the canoe and the German police motorbike w/ sidecar) I'm now down to my last previously finished project in need of an upgrade - the DHC Chipmunk. Since I got an updated kit (arguably better than the ancient Airfix one) I wanted to give that one another go right from the spures.

Greg BakerY'know Alex, because I had that extra 2CV base sitting on the bench, I accidentally glued the grass/train tracks to it because I wasn't paying attention. Luckily I was able to peel it off before the glue set and re-apply it to the actual Model-T base. Whew!

Greg BakerThanks guys. Much appreciated! I've got another Tintin boat on the bench... hopefully I'll find time to finish it soon. Been busy at work and what little spare time I've had seems to have been sucked up by Canada's World Cup Qualifying campaign... 😉

Lode SchildermansMe, an disapproving look? I never thought you would notice it 😉 lol. You're a perfectionist which is the reason to adapt the build. Tricky to do, but the result is there. Congrats
12 March, 06:47
Greg BakerI'm hardly a prefectionist... but my collector instincts would drive me crazy every time I saw an oversized Tinitin on my shelf. I've actually spent quite a bit of time trying to determine the perfect 1/72 scale size of Tintin and his friends. It took a bit of trial and error, but I've more or less settled on it now. The trick to making sure all the figures are more or less the same is done by comparing the relative size of his egg-shaped head~

Greg BakerThanks guys! I don't want to spam Scalemates TOO badly, so I'll dole out my rescued/refurbished/upgraded build in a few batches. As for this one... I really did like my scratchbuilt first attempt, but after building a 3D model off the same plans and then printing it... well, now I REALLY love it. 🙂

John ThomasGreg and Martin, I think it's the kind of plastic the lids are made of were stuff wont stick to it. I think it's some kind of Nylon. May be use a metal lids from small glass jars may work better.

Greg BakerThanks guys! I'm very happy that people are following along. I started getting so many little Tintin builds I decided to up my game a bit on the bases... including labeling them so I don't forget! Once I upgrade all the bases, I'll take a "family picture" of them al together.

Rando - Thanks. Yeah, I've neglected the Area 88 plans for a little while, but I seem to naturally bounce back and forth between them... usually when I get a bit frustrated by one for a while. 😉

Lode SchildermansIt looks so easy when you see the final result. But scrolling through the album gives a good idea of all the modifications and scratch build needed to transform regular kits to a Tin Tin cartoon tank. And the result would have made Hergé proud. Thanks for sharing the journey to the moon with us, Greg. Outstanding as usual
8 August 2022, 21:14
Greg BakerThanks Lode. After I finished the tank, I was kind of wondering why I bothered to start with a kit… by the end there was almost nothing left of the original kit. I'm happy with the result though, and it is kinda about the journey, right? 🙂

Greg BakerIt's amazing how much easier a well-printed part is to work with. The first time I did this there were gaps and holes and other errors, but this time the parts are all stable and the seams are easy enough to close.
