Hi everyone! It's been some time since my last visit, but not always there's time for everything!  

But I've been building...  

These days, I've been building for contests. This time, for LUSOlympics (a slightly different version of MOCOlympics between my LUG and Brasilian LUG), I had to build something related to Tintin's Adventures... Well, I never realy liked those cartoons, so I was thinking... searching in web... And then a friend of mine suggested me to do Milou, the dog! And I loved the idea! But I didn't have white plates/bricks enough to make it complete, so I had to "hide" it! ;D







Hope you like it!

Very creative, it represents a dog perfectly, a little cartoonish, but hey wasn't that the point.

Nice work, do you know the piece count?

I like it a lot!!!
It is so cut, like it is shy!
It has so warm and friendly face!!!

Great moc of Tintin's dog. When you get more white bricks, you'll have to do an out-off-the-box moc too.

Milou is Tintin's dog:

[Wout]

That is a great moc. He looks very much like it.

[kill will]

That's excellent! Great use of the droid arms  

[prateek]

Wow! I like the eyebrows and the nose

[Eskallon]

Lovely dog moc, I was gonna do one just like it but of my dog.

[Oky]

That's awesome! The head is excellent. The part that is inside the box looks a bit strange, but as it is hidden, it still works.

Tintin FTW!

This was built with the only-one-photo purpose, so that in the box was only not to let it "empty"!  

Thanks a lot, everyone! ;)

That is just adorable. You've done a really great job, I recognized him immediately. In the Tin-tin books we get his name is "Snowy!"

[Peppermint_M]

Milou!

That is very cute, looks just right. He looks like he is ready to pop out and warn everyone about a nogoodnick who snuck past.

[Raven Brickroft]

Love the creation. I love how you made the paws. He is just adorable.

I remember the dog being named "Snowy".

Just wiki'd:

Milou was named Snowy in the American version ( If I read that correctly )

[marcosbessa]

Finally I have the LDD file for my little puppy... If you wanna have yours, let me know! ;)

[KielDaMan]

Cute dog! Very nicely done marcosbessa Looks like a nice lego gift for the girls.

[DeathMakuta]

In the version of the books, the dog is called snowy. Nice MOC though

[Jargo]

Cool! Also looks a bit like Asterix the Gaul's dog Dogmatix. You'd only have to change the tips of the ears and tail to black for Dogmatix.

[Admiral Croissant]

He's called 'Bobbie' in Holland   
Excellent work, but to help you in the contest, you could also change the ears a little.
On this image, the ears are curved backwards a little while yours are pointed forward:

That's probably quite easy to fix. Good luck in the contest!
