Tintin sofa scene with Snowy, the Prince and the Maharaja, in lead

Lead Divan scene: four characters from Coke in Stock

The hand-painted lead allows Tintinimaginatio to bring together four characters on the same base without reaching impossible dimensions. Tintin, Snowy, Prince Abdallah and Emir Ben Kalish Ezab are seated or lying on the Coke en Stock couch: each character in their own posture, the costumes treated in their differences, the facial expressions distinct only a few millimeters in height.

The lead gives the scene its characteristic weight: you feel the density of the material when you hold the piece. The faces are painted with a magnifying glass, the embroideries of the emir's costume reproduced with a fine brush, the shades of skin between the four characters distinct despite their size.

The Tintinimaginatio lead for a Coke comedy scene in Stock

The couch scene is one of the rare lead Tintin compositions in the catalogue. The material makes it possible to achieve this level of detail on small figurines, where resin would lose precision.
