Papa was a Tintin Astro

After the success of the Godzilla orthotic installation surgery staff at 30Squares Labs were emboldened to try the Airfix Astronaut to Tintin Astronaut (AATA) conversion.


To the left: Patient X, Vintage Classics 1:76 Airfix Astronaut; to the right: 3/16" diameter Acetal ball.

Warning: Those of you with a weak constitution may want to avert your eyes for the next bit. 


With the head-dectomy successfully completed we quickly move on to the installation of the new helmet.


Success! The helmet was slightly flattened on one 'side' and attached with superglue.


The life support backpack was modified with styrene scraps to become Tintin-esque.


The patient is expected to make a full recovery and live a long and adventurous life on the moon tending the lunar railway.

The staff of 30Squares Labs extends its apologies to The Temptations and highly recommend listening to this classic while they prepare for the next breakthrough in figure surgery.
