Yes, they are identical (37.8cm = 14.9"). Do you have some informations about the twin of my fetish?

First paint layer and pitch applied.

FInished, now it will be time for weathering.

 

[joberg]

Excellent job on re-creating that iconic statue (Excellent taf!)

 

[parfaitelumiere]

Here is how it looks for now.
It still has to get some weathering, I will keep outside for several years.
I will make the label, to match book, colored version.

4 wooden replicas on left, amateur work.
3 inspirated by herge design, one by the antique chimu statue design.
4 official replicas on right.
-top left is 2009 moulinsart, 46cm, resin
The label is a mix of end black white picture (4 pins) and colored album version, with wrong typography.
-top right is 2020 moulinsart, 24cm, resin
-bottom left is 1991 pixie, 41cm, plaster
-bottom right seems also made from plaster, this one was on a tintin public display, but it seems to be several like this, some were used to recreate some cartoon images in life size.
The label has good typography, accurate to first page picture, colored version album.

And here is the modified label I made, not yet perfect, but better matching the end picture of colored book version(1943 and after)

 

[joberg]

Excellent work and the statue should be exposed at Le Château de Moulinsart

 

[parfaitelumiere]

Hand drawn label, composite from exhibition statue, and both book labels (first and last pictgure) colored version.
If some interest, I can scan it and put available for reference or display projects.

awesome result! congratulations!

 

[joberg]

Very nice indeed; you`ve captured the Hergé style

 

[parfaitelumiere]

Half finished base, the black color is not good, so I didn't glue the label yet.

 

[eethan]

it looks amazing!
