I thought of naming one of my 5135-ships "Golden Hind", like Sir Francis Drake's ship...
(The real "Golden Hind" looked totally different though, and it would be a hell of a job to customize it accordingly.)
This one is just a basic 5135 but I've given it custom-stickers and some flags from the medieval theme. A white flag with red cross on it would be more appropriate for a late 16th-century English ship, but I don't have such ones right now and I think the flags I used go well with the ship's colours...
The copyright for the stickers are property of "(bastel)valotte", a German who sells a lot of custom-stickers for many historical Playmobil-themes on ebay.
I asked him to make me side- and stern-stickers for 3940/5135-ships, several of them are now to be found in his listings. ;)
The name on the ship's stern could have been printed a bit smaller (what I would have preferred), but If you don't make the stickers yourself you don't allways get everything exactly like you want...)

I've visited one of the replicas of the Golden Hind in London, but I can't really remember it (looked just like a ship to me :-[)
Great looking custom though, Hadoque!
Damo :)

Superb Hadoque!! I got a few sails from the same seller but the stickers will come from another superb transfer creator of our forum ;D

Thanks! :)

Ah?! Does "A." also make 3940/5135-stickers?? I could as well have asked him to make them then, I thought he just did knight-stuff... :doh:

Same case with Valotte! :lol:
Could you show your ship with Arnaud's stickers? I'd really like to see the design and colours you chose!! Or did you let Arnaud decide on the looks?

I told him what I needed, send him scans of the original stickers and let his imagination work. I have not received them yet so the fleet is not complete but I will show pics once I receive and place the transfers!

Marvelously elegant! Love this ship :o
-
@Erwin: all I need is a clean scan of the original stickers. And whatever design you want in.

I agree the name should have been smaller...
But I also see the appeal to the larger text.
Amazing custom Hadoque. :wow:
It is really just dawning on me how many vessels you have... :o
Are they all separate? Or do you reuse any ships? ???

I sometimes re-equip a ship, but the ones I've shown on the forum are all separate ones... :-[
I can't often take pics inside because I need a lot of sunlight (camera's photo-quality is awfull inside with artificial light only, with or without flash) and we're entering wintertime, but if enough sunlight should fall into the house at the right angle again - and if I have the time at that specific day/moment - I'll shoot some pics of several of them together.
Same for the pics of the army you asked for a while ago; it takes time to set everything up and the light must be right for the old camera.

Here is a matching smiley for it:

Thanks! :D :wow:
That would be awesome. :)

yes we need proof that youre not just showing us the same ship over and over again! LOL I'M JUST KIDDING! :P It is not uncommon, especially for playmonuts like us, to have several of the same ship! At least all the ships you post are seperate ships, unlike me, who, from the beginning, only post more and more pics of the same ship (the black pearl) over and over again.
I love the custom stickers hadoque! and the flags too on your other ships as well.
-
Great looking ship, Erwin! The stickers and flags make it look very period appropriate. My only reservation, of which you are already aware, is the large name on the stern. Still, it's a smart looking vessel. :)9

Wonderful ship, I love it. :love:
Great work, well done. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
