Since I had the camera out, I thought I'd give it another shot to try and take pics of this conversion. I haven't been able to get any good pictures of it (again), but maybe some of you will be able to recognise the characters and vehicle? Indy is just there for scale, so don't mind him.

No, this is one's a corgi willys jeep. Repainted and slightly converted.
The figures are my own sculpts using Ebob puppets.
I still need to finish the sculpts of the twins to ride in the back.

Splendid, just needs the white dog to complete it.

I have the dog with my foot-versions that I still need to paint, but I think I'll have to resculpt it as it's a bit too big.

I did sort of a cop-out on my dismounted Haddock as I converted him from a Brigade Games merchant seaman that almost looked the part. Meanwhile, I have standing versions of the twins that are 90% finished and seated versions for the jeep that are 75% finished and have been so for a very long time. :(

Me too :)
I have Tintin and Snowy, Haddock, Professor Calculus and the Thompson Twins are in the post. They're all joining the French Resistance  :lol:

I am debating whether to buy a Scheltrum VSF weapon for Calculus, it's a bit expensive so I might make one instead.
