Title: Red Rackham
Post by: Hadoque on October 29, 2011, 11:31:08

Those who know the "The Secret of the Unicorn"-comicbook storyline (an adventure of Tintin by author Hergé), should be familiar with the character "Red Rackham".
Red Rackham is a 17th-century ferocious pirates' captain, and the adversary of "capitaine François de Hadoque" (my avatar).

As Spielberg's movie about the book is being released (I assume Hadoque & Red Rackham will be seen in it), I decided to execute a long planned custom-klicky of Red Rackham.
Et voilà...

He looks great, I really loved the part of Hadoque in that album with the pirates. It showed quite a nice battle too.

Not just good, excellent! I never thought a clicky could look so much like the character from the comic, Rakham le rouge has such a long and pointy nose!
Brilliant custom, Erwin. And as Panos said, the two feathers are a great touch!
Best,
Arnaud

Great to see you all like him!  :)

I made a little adjustment;
In the book Red Rackham wears a small skull on the front of his red cape (see pic in next post).
On the klicky's cape there is no place for such a skull, so I decided to paint one on the klicky's chest, which also covers the print of the chestpocket on the torso I used.

ps: dark weather today, so the quality of th pic is less good then the previous ones...

Here are some pics from the book "Secret of The Unicorn", from The Adventures of Tintin by belgian author Hergé (George Remi). They show the pirate "Red Racham" and "Captain François de Hadoque" (on which my avatar is based)...
