NEW DESIGNS HENCE NEW KNIGHTS!
« on: April 30, 2011, 20:03:45 »
Hey!Hey!
Since I couldn't go to William and Kate's wedding party (I sent a long apology letter), I made some more customs, again. Can't help...
I've been using the new Green Dragon design to make two totally new series. Since Wolfie mentioned there hadn't any white Dragons then my first idea was to make a White Dragon, then I tried a Black one, and now I love both.
The design is pretty much the same as the original, except I added twisted horns which IMO, lacked before. I managed to get some of those dark green knights from the 5861 US exclusive set and I quite liked their colors so they became my White Dragon knights.
Then , someone posted a nice picture of what a "lance" should be (was it WoT? Skywalker? Can't remember). I noticed this wonderful Golden Lily horse coat, with a burgundy background and went for it. For this one I made a simple caparison with a large golden lily on the front and back, but the one I'm showing you is quite different. I tried to make a full plate-armor caparison for once, I quite like the result. Though, with hindsight, I should have put a black head cover on the horse. This peculiar caparison was printed on vinyle, that's why it's so glossy.
Finally, I tried my own version of samuraï and Japanese infantry armor. I don't have Master cheng's gift to paint the legs, so I did with what was at hand!
OK, now. Enough talking. Pics.

Brilliant idea on the white and black dragons!!! The horns add a certain character, they look like Balrog's head this way! I love them!!!

The full plate caparison also is great! And the Samurais are awesome!!!

Excellent creations! BTW, sorry you were too busy working on these customs to miss the Royal Wedding! ;)
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Pretty sweet!

I like the barding on the horse.

How long did it take you to design that?

I never really liked the dragon design... :-[
I was really hoping as I was reading your message,
that you were talking about the golden wyverns... :toot:
But I think you made them quite better,
and the twisted horns look great! :clap:

I really like your Lilly knight, excellent job! :wow:

Your samurai were certainly good, :)
But the leg armor was a little short. :-\
Also, it might be an interesting idea
if you used the chest sticker on some plate armor. :yup:
Steck is BACK! <:>

Excellent work, Arnaud, and a much better way to spend your time than going to a stupid royal wedding!
