The Red Dragon I & II
« on: November 18, 2007, 22:59:15 »
Just finalized my Red Dragon ships... It all started with the shooner type pirate ship I bought on ebay, together with the ship I actually needed  :hmm: So, I was thinking what I could do with this ship  ??? Then the idea came to make a ship for my Red Dragon knights. The 'Red Dragon I' was born. Soon, the Red Dragon I captured one of my earlier customized ships, the 'Caribbean Queen', and turned it into the 'Red Dragon II'.  Be aware, you Lion Knights, because when a red glow appears to your shoreline you better start to pray  >:D

Hello, DD ...

I love your "Red Dragon" ships, but I really hated to see the demise of one of my all time favourites ... The Caribbean Queen! ...  :'(

Thanks for all the wonderful photos of the Caribbean Queen. I'll be able to remember her ...  :love:

All the best,
Richard

It looks good.

Good way to put different themes together.

Those are some savage looking ships . Just on first impression i think a lot of victims would just wave ye ol white fag. although they sure are not armed very well .  I think it might be time to go loot some cannons. >:D

would it be possible to cut the head off of a dragon and mount it to the front ?

Two very nice customs, DD, although I like the second one the best.

WOW!!

Great sails.  Did you repaint the ones you had or make these from scratch?

Nice work!  Great inspiration for me as I have 3 pirate ships that have been waiting for a knights-theme conversion (Already have Swans and Gold Dragons picked).  Would appreciate if you could share some tips on creating the sails and patterns (materials, artwork, etc).

fwiw I have scanned the original decal sheets and sails from 5778, but have yet to start editing them on the computer (hmm, only have PhotoShop installed, and my last version of Corel was from years ago).  For materials I am looking at using 3M's Print to Last Paper (more like laser printable plastic/polymer sheets, which I've been using to make Playmobil Banners), and Epson's sticker paper.
