Does anyone consider Tintin to be a suitable candidate for a Pulp character ?
I think I've seen Plynkes refer to Captain Haddock before.
Anyway, if so I've seen a variety of diecast vehicles including a rather splendid Model T Ford driven by Tintin and loaded with exploring gear:

There are several others in the range, including a Jeep with Captain Haddock & Professor Calculus, and a police car with Tintin riding on the running board

That is pretty nice. Is it in the apropriate scale? I wonder if this site is up to date?

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on this one:

I´ve seen them "in the flesh", since my local model railroad store has a selection of those. They are a bit on the large side, being 1:43rd scale, but could actually work with larger figures.
Nice prices, though. "My" shop charges some 10-15 Euros more.
-
They would probably work better with Project X or Gotterdammerung sized minis.
In 28mm, there's a Tintin and snowy in one of the Copplestone packs and Brigade Games Merchant seamen have figures that can be used as or converted to Haddock.
I've sculpted some for myself, including a seated Tintin and Haddock for a slightly converted repainted (red) corgi Willys jeep.
-
I'm impressed by the number of cars etc available to buy in the Tin Tin range. :)
-
There 1/43rd scale and not at all cheap. Some 25 euros a piece (33 USD)
Tintin in Belgium is somewhat of a collectors thing and prices are therefor way up.
Nevertheless they are beautiful models.
-
Tintin is most certainly playable and he can be seen here in the adventure of the "Pharaoh's Cigars" http://users.telenet.be/schroyens-eddy.be/tsoa10.htm
-
yep. Tintin figures used are mine, while the regular soldiers and boats and vehicules are from the collection of Rudi Geudens, another member of this forum.
-
Very impressive.
I would take my hat off to you, but as I'm indoors it's already hanging on the rack.

If you didnt already know Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson are making a three part film series. Apparently the cast will be computer animated but made to look like real people as opposed to cartoon like.
Sounds interesting :?:
-
Thats sounds interesting :) Will look forward in seeing this release some time in the future.

any idea about miniatures to use for Dupont Dupond (I do not know their name in english, this are the names we use in Italy, I hope they are the original french ones)

Slightly off the main point of the topic but I found this interesting page that lists the various regional variations of the main character names:

Milou -> Persian: Barfy? That's what I call my pregnat fiancee. :-)
Struppy is pretty...odd to.

Struppi´s just German for "shaggy/scrubby" in a nominal form... due to his fur, I presume.

I'm not sure if you noticed but the question on this thread was asked some 14 years ago so we wouldn't normally expect to see responses now. However, that link could be very useful to people so I'll leave the thread open. Please check the date of threads before responding though. Thank you.

Well, I had never seen those and would like to add Tintin to my collection, so thanks for that.

Maybe a new record on LAF for thread necromancy?
I'm glad it happened though- I wasn't aware of the newer figures shown!

I like that it was bumped precisely on July 5th, day of the last post.

I'd completely forgotten that I asked the question.

Could well be. It was such a useful link that I thought it would be best to keep it open. I had no idea those figures existed. I rather like the 'reimagining' of the characters to make them more realistically proportioned.

Thanks. I am aware of those. Both (or should I say all if I include Copplestone) have advantages. A difficult choice...

Order them all, then choose after you've painted them?

Oh my gosh .... 14 years ago, my son was 3 and my daughter was just a future love-night :-*, ... and I was 40! ...

Thomson & Thompson. Check out the link I had never heard of and referenced above. Whether they will fit in with other models...
Buy them all? I am not sure Mrs Commander would agree.
