Uwe KaedingGreat collection Greg - but why is the Chipmunk labelled from The Broken Ear?

Greg BakerSorry, nothing really new to see here. I just updated the album to add my latest two Tintin builds, the Scrap Rail Car from "In the Land of the Soviets" and the Loch Lomond Whisky tanker from "The Black Island". Thanks Uwe for pointing out that the Chipmunk was mis-labeled. It's been corrected.
Also, since I wanted to share this, I thought this album might be the best place to do it. I just finished watching a bio-graphical documentary on Herge called "Tintin et Moi". It's in French, with English subtitles for those who need them. It's a fascinating look at the man behind the art and the stories, but also the level of attention to detail, naive propaganda, political satire, and personal demons he put into them. Even if you're not into comics for kids, it's an interesting look at a man's life-long attempt to escape from his own grey mediocrity.

Greg BakerHey Lode, thanks very much for that thought! I finished off two more builds, the Karaboudjan lifeboat that Capt. Haddock sets on fire in "The Crab with the Golden Claws" and the small little dugout canoe from "The Broken Ear", so I thought I'd update this album as well.

Greg BakerThanks Matthew. I'm following your new project ideas closely as well. Anyway, the Motorboat from The Black Island is finished, so I just updated the album.

Greg BakerWell, truth be told I did update the Shark Submarine with a "Tintin Project Base". It was one of the first projects I did, before I came up with the little wooden base template idea. A nice lady at a fish pet store gave be a bit of broken corral and voila~
I also raided the store today for more of the wooden bases. For some reason, they're getting scare. None of the locations carry them anymore, but I found 10 today, so I bought them all... just in case. I've now got 30 left in my stash. Will it be enough? Who knows...😉
