"Golden Hind"
« on: October 18, 2011, 17:43:05 »
I thought of naming one of my 5135-ships "Golden Hind", like Sir Francis Drake's ship...
(The real "Golden Hind" looked totally different though, and it would be a hell of a job to customize it accordingly.)
This one is just a basic 5135 but I've given it custom-stickers and some flags from the medieval theme. A white flag with red cross on it would be more appropriate for a late 16th-century English ship, but I don't have such ones right now and I think the flags I used go well with the ship's colours...

The copyright for the stickers are property of "(bastel)valotte", a German who sells a lot of custom-stickers for many historical Playmobil-themes on ebay.
I asked him to make me side- and stern-stickers for 3940/5135-ships, several of them are now to be found in his listings.  ;)


The name on the ship's stern could have been printed a bit smaller (what I would have preferred), but If you don't make the stickers yourself you don't allways get everything exactly like you want...)

I've visited one of the replicas of the Golden Hind in London, but I can't really remember it (looked just like a ship to me :-[)

Great looking custom though, Hadoque!

Damo :)

Same case with Valotte!  :lol:


Could you show your ship with Arnaud's stickers? I'd really like to see the design and colours you chose!! Or did you let Arnaud decide on the looks?

I told him what I needed, send him scans of the original stickers and let his imagination work. I have not received them yet so the fleet is not complete but I will show pics once I receive and place the transfers!
