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
12 March, 06:47
Greg Baker
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~

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.

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.

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
8 August 2022, 21:14
Greg Baker
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? 🙂

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.

Greg Baker
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. 😉
