The metal umbrella may come from Copplestone's marching Chinese soldiers with cap (Back of Beyond range). You get several of them in the pack.

This is a challenge for a not Tin Tin sculptor.  I bought the DVD animated set for a song recently, a Pulper's dream set of storylines.

I second Dave's query, that Calculus is brilliant, where does he come from?
Great work in all these replies.

I call him my slightly grown-up, disenchanted, disgruntled TinTin.   ;)

Calculus was more or less sculpted.  There’s a torso with peg legs under that coat, and the hands came from somewhere as well, but the coat and head are green stuff.

Impressive.  8)

I've got TinTin and Snowy, my grandson likes to play them especially in command of the old BEF Belgians.

Hi,
Here's my Tin Tin league for Pulp Alley.  Tin Tin and snowy are from the Copplestone detectives set, Haddock is Captain Josiah from Blue Moon, Calculus is a conversion from two Artizan Thrilling Tales figures - the body of Arne with the head of Dr Glockinspeil, and the Thompson Twins are both the Artizan Thrilling Tales Terrance with a green stuff moustache.
All the best,
George.

The scariest thing about Mancha's version is that someone's armed both the Thom(p)sons with full machine guns!


I joined my gun with pirate swords, and sailed the seas of cyberspace.

Not wishing to be pedantic bong-67 (oh alright, yes I am!) but the detectives were Thompson (with a 'p') and Thomson (without a 'p'), so not related!

But I do like your league, really nice painting and a good choice for Haddock.  :-*

The figures are from Brigade Games' Mob Wars line, specifically the pack titled "Gangsters with BARs":

All I did was make green stuff bowlers and mustaches.
