Not "Captain Haddock"
« on: December 18, 2011, 11:38:32 AM »

After seeing the nice movie recently I finally got to painting the good Captain...

IIRC its a Brigade Games Sailor - perfect stand in IMO, could be a bit taller when compared to the NOT Tim, but OK, for me...

I think he turned out great as well.

I don't really worry too much about size when dealing with figures I plan to use in skirmish games unless its really out of scale - after all people come in all shapes and sizes.

IMO the Haddock sculpt is spot on, what was me worrying is that in almost all comic pages the Captain is a head taller than Tim, here he is a bit smaller...

You are right Agis and it`s a shame that the Haddock figure is smaller than the Copplestome Tim. But what counts is that you found the right figure for Haddock.

It's more that Copplestone' s Tintin is too big: he's the same size as the adults in the pack.

It has been a few years since his last adventure. He is all grown up now!

Great stuff Agis. Your PJs have really captured them well. And Snowy actually looks a bit menacing. Just right for jumping up and biting someone on the doodars.

But then where're his bellbottoms and moped?  ;)

Great stuff. I have to get to see the movie. It might give some inspiration.
