The Red Dragon I & II

[deadeye dick]

Thank you everybody for the nice replies...

About the sails:
- They're PVC sails I bought in the hobby shop. This was the easy part.
- I scanned the dragon head from a red dragon shield. Also pretty easy.
- I corrected the image using paint shop pro. A bit more complex, but it took less time than the Lionheart design.
- Get it printed at a print shop where they print on some kind of plastic foil
- Cut out the print and stick it to the sails...

I used 3 different types of matrials before:
- Quickfuse sails: great to print, feels like fabric, but very expensive and hard to get in Belgium --> The Lionheart
- Believe it or not: roller blinds, printed with my HP photo printer  --> latest sail
- PVC sails --> Red Dragon

Depends on what you like. For plain color sails with one image I prefer PVC. For multi-color sails, I prefer Quickfuse, but since it's that expensive I use the roller blinds...

I'm really impressed with the graphics work people are doing - bothMarty's t-shirt decals and Dick's Red Dragon sails. I know I couldn't have worked out how to create uch great customs.

DD, Thank You for sharing your artwork and technique!   

Unfortunately I've been rather busy and a bunch of customizing projects will have to be on hold ...

Excellent ships DD! I love the way you carried the theme through to the sails. A very formidable fleet of ships for your Red Dragon knights!

I can't remember if I ever posted pix of my own custom ship for the Red Dragon Clan , so I am doing so now (again?). My clan is a bit more primitive than yours! In more ways than one - I used the longship as the basis for my custom, and my sail is of the Quickfuse variety.

Speaking of sails, that PVC you used on your ships looks great! How permanent is the printing on it?

Very nice customs, Captain Henry  I especially like the customized shields.
The printing on the sails is waterproof, but unfortunately not scratch proof
This is visible on the black edges, where I had to retouch with a black marker.
Though it seems that the black ink is causing this issue more than the other colors...

I'm also a big fan of QuickFuse, but it's hard to get here in Belgium and it's not 100% water proof, is it?
