Y'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!

Thanks 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... 😉

Me, 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

I'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~

Me too! 🙂
I'm going back and making some improvements to my Tintin projects, so there's plenty more to come.

In case anyone is interested, I uploaded my 3D files for the armoured car to cults3d.com (cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/armoured-car). There's a small fee to download, but it gets even smaller if you visit my blog and find the 50% off coupon code. 🙂

Thanks 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. 🙂

Greg 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.

Hah! Thanks Daniel! I just snuck that little project in. I've been busy at work (comes with a promotion usually I think), but I'm hoping to get back to the bench soon. Your projects keep inspiring me.

Thanks 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.

Hope they enjoy it, CaptGPF!
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. 😉

It 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

Thanks 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? 🙂

It'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.

Heh. Thanks! I have to admit though, having to tear it off was a lot easier than suddenly finding out at the end that I should've built two. In that case I would just leave the "good side" showing.😉

Ok... so two Tamiya 1/100 kits...😉
An OoB build, so only minimal reconstruction around the air intakes and engines. I got some new Tamiya lacquer paint I want to test, so this seemed like a good test kit.

I bought one of these online as an extra item to get me over the purchase threshold to qualify for free shipping. The kit only cost $2.60. Seemed like cheap fun.

thanks for the heads up Greg. Loved your F-5A finish. The colours looks amazing. I see what up mean about scaling. I'll have to plan some sort of forced perspective thing when the Boeing hoves into view for photos.

Thanks Gary. I'll tune it to see if you can manage the forced perspective... it would be nice for this kit to have something to contribute. I should be kinder and not let my hatred for off-scale kits get the best of me... it's just when they lie about their size that I can't stand it. 😉
Meanwhile... we have some grey paint over decals... it's an experiment.

I had a dream last night that I purchased two actual P-51 Mustangs… despite not having a pilot’s license. I was pestering a car mechanic I know to help me take a look at the engine and then I was super excited about posting up a new 1:1 scale model project on Scalemates. 🙂
Luckily I woke up just as I was trying to figure out where I was going to store the planes… and before I had to explain any of it to my wife. 😉

I was busy trying to figure out if a) I could safely remove the wings in a way that they could be re-attached properly later, and b) If I could park one of them (sans wings) in my driveway... 😄
