The pose of the Professor makes me suspect he's a converted Wild West miniature. I could easily imagine that umbrella having been a rifle originally. But now having said this, I'm sure I'm wrong :)

I am very, very remiss in acknowledging this so late, but Paul sent it off the night before I left for vacation and it utterly slipped my mind. I'm very, very flattered that he went with this. Every time I see it I strut a bit. My ego is purring like a well-massaged cat.

Very nicely done! And I won´t go into the "Georges Remi was a collaborateur" controversy, I promise! ;)

Good, because he wasn't.

Tintin is from Copplestone Figures.
Captain Haddock is a Brigade Games figure with a head swap from another, they're both merchant seamen. I've given him a bren gun.
The Thompson Twins are two Winston Churchill figures from Amazon Miniatures (with Thompsons). I added the walking sticks and removed the cigars.
Calculus is a WestWind London Detective (Jack the Ripper set) with added umbrella.
