Tintin conversions... sort of... (1 Viewer)

Some 28mm conversions of civilian zombies for the WW2 era. An intrepid reporter and his sailor sidekick. They'd been in a lot of tough spots in their days, but always managed to come out of them unscathed. Until now that is...

They are, or should I say "were" called, Tintin and captain Haddock.



Got the inspiration for this late one night (out of nowhere really), so looked at the Wargames Factory zombie sprue for the best parts to use as dollies for these, threw in a West Wind WW2 zombiehead with peaked cap (after a bit of filing) and glued it together. Sculpted the details in the next day in two sessions (morning and afternoon). Painted the next day:







Then I went on to do the twins (sadly misplaced my pictures of the unpainted conversions. As before, I used Wargames Factory plastic zombies as dollies and sculpted on the detail I wanted/needed. The canes are from a paperclip.





Professor Calculus was the last member of this set. Like the others, it's greenstuff over a WGF plastic zombie:





All of them together:

Haha ^&grin where is Snowy?
Great (green) stuff

Very nice and original pieces. Excellent parodies on one of my favourite cartoon series!

Funny! You need to add a lady to this Z bunch...What about the Castafiore?:wink2:

I actually did convert a zombie Snowy, but it's packed away somewhere in a box after the move and never got painted. When I find it again, I'll finish it and add it.

After that, this set will probably be done though,so La Castafiore remains safe (or no zombie wants to bite her, that may be it too).
