Vorkosigan Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 This is my attempt to give the 2013 Dragon Knights a proper lair. I extended the idea of building off of old ruins like the Dragon Mountain set. I used old gray to represent an older decaying tower that has sunk beneath the water, with a staircase going down into the abyss. The Dragon Knights built their lair on top of the old tower. Also along the lines of the official sets, I gave the Lions a boat and small assault force. The boat is a lightly modded version of an old 90s Dragon Knight boat, with a custom sail (just printed on paper). Note each prison cell comes with a pet. Quote
Artanis I Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 It's a nice upgrade to the playset that we got, and I think everyone would agree that it was a bit underwhelming. The sail looks really good, must be a decent printer! Yes, the boat does look very familiar , are the blue turret pieces from the old boat or the recent Juniors set? Quote
Sigolf Brimabane Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Hehe, I get some old school vibes from this : ) Looks like it's got playability! Quote

Yes, the boat does look very familiar , are the blue turret pieces from the old boat or the recent Juniors set? Thanks its just a color laser. I created a vectorized version of the lion logo so it would look smooth enlarged. The blue crenelation pieces are from the original boat, its 6057 Sea Serpent: Edited September 24, 2014 by Vorkosigan Quote
Steph 104th Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 You achieved what you set out to do, this is a great Lair for them. Quote
Artanis I Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 The blue crenelation pieces are from the original boat They are in good condition. Mine are yellowed Quote
Alfadas Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Very nice! Really like the dragons, and the boat is cool! Also the fort is nice. Quote
Reekardoo Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I really like the sail and the use of the 6057 structure. Well done. As for the castle, though being far better than the official model, I think it still could have more features. Quote

Maybe it isn't meant to be viewed from the rear, but it's always nice making all sides look good :) Quote
