  1. The torsos, calvary shields, and breastplate were just waterslide decals printed with a inkjet printer on decal paper. The fabric was a bit more complicated. I started with a white broadcloth that was a bit too cheap and transparent (something I will try to improve upon in the future.) I then used a fabric stiffening spray, at least 3 coats I believe. To make it less transparent I brushed on some gesso. After it was dry I lightly sanded the cloth. Then I fed it through the printer, let it dry and then reversed it, and printed on the other side. After the second side dried I sprayed some acrylic varnish on each side. The method was a litle crude so I hope in the future I can find an easier way. The gesso was a little uneven when dry so there were a few capes with splotchy colors that had to be thrown out. Thank you. Yes I agree most of their stuff doesn't look right but they did have some successes. I have had a few types of helmets that won't fit, mostly with the Wave 3 of the D&D Kreons. I assume you mean the crossbowmen shields with the cross. Yes they are Kre-o, they are from wave 2 D&D kreons, the kreon is called Lander. Thank you! Thank you so much. I appreciate it.
  2. Hello All. I'm new to the forum and I thought I would share a part of the army I have been working on for the last year. I just got back into Lego as an adult and I have been having a lot of fun with the castle minifigures. As I shopped for Lego I came across an off brand some of you may be familar with, Kre-o. I was curious if Kre-o parts were compatible with Lego, and to my delight they were. The "Kreons" themselves are terrible junk, but the swords and armor are of a quality equal to any 3rd party manufacturer such as Brickwarriors although not as detailed. I scanned all the Kre-o torsos and tweeked them a bit with GIMP to make them fit Lego minifigs. This "Blue Dragon" faction is part of a larger army that is still in the works. This army was definitly not cost effective, but I was pleased with the results. I hope you are too. Full Album https://www.flickr.com/photos/134244350@N06/sets/72157656270615081/with/19334304963/
