In either case, it looks great!

Very good Jorge

, it is indeed Chateau de Cheverny. In the comic book a slightly smaller version is the Castle of Captain Haddock, a friend of Tintin, and the castle is called Chateau Moulinsart.

The Castle is one of the four beautiful Chateaux de Loire done by Pascal Dumat. As Pascal's site seems to have disappeared, I don't think the scenery is still available.

I will post some screenshots this evening.

Cheers,
Huub

Good evening Huub,
thank you for the link,
so I do not need to search further more if I have them somewhere.
Sadly Pascal never finished the last two ones.
I don' t know why.
Best Regards

I concur, Rawsthorne! REALLY NICE!

I've always loved Mr. Ito's work. I'm updating some of the pre-WW2 stuff he did for the pre-WW2 updates I'm doing for FS9. Some update better than others!

Hallo,
if we speak about Cheverny and the relation of Tintin's adventures
we come to his friend's chateau "Moulinsart" and as we are in flightsimming we need his red helicopter
Yes it is not the right model but I didnt find another beeing as close to
Best regards

A good choice, Michael. The red helicopter ressembles more or less to the one shown in the album "The Calculus Affair". BTW, some several years ago I did these situations published in the same album. They depict the flight of Tintin and Captain Hadock from Melsbroek to Geneva.

Georges Remy draw this album with some meticulous details, especially what concerns the scenes in and around Geneva. He then was helped by a good friend there, who furnished him a lot of informationsaqnd pictures.
