Actually, it all started with this ship a few months ago. I had the idea to customize a 3550/3750 and I wanted to create my own sails... I couldn't find QuickFuse so I was looking for an alternative... I thought I found one: a kind of foil that was printable... I just got a new catalog with the Lionhead castle...

At that time I already had the color scheme in my head. First of all, all pieces got a white primer...

After that, the hull got a dark blue color and the deck was painted light blue...

Here was my first encounter with the gold paint... Since then it changed my life  8) B.T.W. the trick with the polystyrene is NOT advisable... In contrast to myself it doesn't like the gold paint at all  :lol: As you can see I used everything to hitch the 'paintings'... Even my wife's bike wasn't safe  :wink:

So, in an early stage it looked something like this... To be honest: I didn't like it very much, but I knew that the sails (hopefully) would do the trick. This first project needed to succeed   ;D

The QuickFuse sails... As you can see, the color design changed as against the first design. I prefer this one. They even more look like the flags of the Large King's castle...

The ship was ready, but there were no crew members yet... Since I don't have the Large King's castle and the crew should fit with the ship, I bought the crew immediately from DS... In the meantime I builded the HMS Victory... Finally they found their way to the Lionheart  :D

The interior... I also made custom paintings from pictures I like... If you find your painting on my wall, sorry, but I liked it so much  :lol:

Stunning!

This one is terrific!!!!

All these tiny parts you did for the ship (i.e. the painting in the captains cabin etc.). Lovely!

And you posted some pics of the working process as well. Indeed a very good idea!

Thank's for sharing the pics.

Wow - each of your ships is magnificent, but seeing all three of them - wow! Very nicely done. The color combination you chose is very bright, but it works well with the theme. That's what I think I like the most about your ships is that each ship has a theme and you pick colors and sail designs to complement that theme. I try to do the same with mine, which is probably why I like yours so much.
