Percival Proctor & Vega Gull - Snowy Finds a Ride

Very comical;-/ Thankfully the figure is barely visible in the final build😉

The fit is "ok-ish" but I didn't take too much trouble to clean up seams and joins

A visit to the proctologist, and the Percival Proctor is ready to mount in-flight

Percival Vega Gull. Mistake: I realise I build the seat layout for the Proctor instead.

And that's the Percival Vega Gull ready for action..

The finished Percival Proctor and Percival Vega Gull.

Our heroes got repurposed from a Chicago Taxi 1:43 model

Constructing a hanger/club workshop on an irregular base of hi-density foam.

Planning the scene..

Working up the base detail (just don't look inside the hanger - details TBD!)

Snowy could never pass a tarp without conducting his own investigation...

OK, how come this hasn't got any comments yet?! I gather this wasn't going for historical accuracy (btw, scale mate Boris Belay has done a great research and job on Vega Gull OO-ANC: Percival Vega Gull OO-ANC build | Album by bobolex (1:48) ) and, while I'm not an expert on Tintin, I feel this is "freely inspired" rather than depicting an actual scene from the albums (please correct me if I'm wrong...) - but still... this is lovely! Your works and especially your dioramas are always proof of both your imagination and skills - and always a joy to look at. Well done, once again 👍

Thanks for the link and comments Alex K! Yes you are correct - this is "fanfic", though when I first saw the Proctor & Vega Gull I definitely thought they are exactly the kind of subject that Hergé would have/could have worked it into one of the adventures given time😉
