Matakishi, where are the Tintin models from? And surely Rabbi Maksim should have a heavy machine gun!

Matakishi07 Jan 2008 3:08 p.m. PST

Rabbi Maksim has a Golem and the Ark of the Covenant, a machine gun will do him no good.

As for the Tintin models:

Tintin is from Copplestone.
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.

I have to make Calculus' Sonic Weapon at some point.

Very, Very cool

Great work – i wish i could do conversion without cutting my fingers off :-P

Interesting about the Artizan Churchill figure – i was looking for a Churchill last week and couldn't find one.

I had a look over Artizan's site – still can see it. Does one have to ask Artizan for the model?

Matakishi07 Jan 2008 4:45 p.m. PST

AMAZON MINIATURES!
pay attention lad :)

he's in the 'Tales of the Shadow Reich' section, last item, no pic.
Black Scorpion do a very nice Churchill in their specials range.

Skeptic-

I thought I'd labeled the pic, I'll have to sort that out later :)

The Golem is a 40mm Disturbia figure from Monolith Designs or Brigade Games. The Angels are from Rafm. The Ark is from Castaway Arts and the humans are Jewish Gangsters from Amazon Miniatures.

Matakishi:

It seems Churchill miniature is an old Hetzerdog miniature (Hetzerdog site it is no more active! any news?)
BB900 Grandad & Winston Churchill With MG

What the Grandad miniature is?

Matakishi08 Jan 2008 10:01 a.m. PST

Grandad is an old man in dressing gown and pyjamas with a US tin hat, smg and teddy bear.

Old Slow Trot09 Jan 2008 8:08 a.m. PST

What about Snowy,the dog?

Matakishi09 Jan 2008 10:28 a.m. PST

If you mean where's the figure from, it's Asta (the Thin Man's dog) from the same Copplestone pack of figures as Tintin.
