Raven - 4290 Pirate Ship Custom
« on: March 06, 2011, 16:23:00 »
I started painting some ships in January and I've only just found the time to set up a small backdrop to take some pictures to share with you all.

My first one is 4290 the convertable pirate ship. Originally it had a red hull with tan deck. I dismantled the ship and spray painted the deck and masts black. I then hand painted all the extra details in gold and added gold and blue stickers along the edge of the hull.





I've even decorated the cannons.



This ship has a reversible figurehead so I've added a painted raven to it and named the ship front and back.





As you can see from above I've also handpainted the cabin windows.

No the chains are from gold stickers I carefully put everywhere.

 :omg: Emma, your choices of color combinations are superb! I wish Playmobil would take notice of your choices! You've converted a plain, boring ship into a spectacular creation, with simple, yet striking effectiveness! Simply outstanding! :wow:
