Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Hi there! I would like to continue my MOC series "Updating the Classics". (part 1: MOC: Updating the Classics (1) - 6018 Battle Dragon Revisited part 3: MOC: Updating the Classics (3) - 6057 Sea Serpent Revisited) This time I will try to do the "6049 Viking Voyager" some justice. The set goes back until 1987 (and I did not have it). 6049 Viking Voyager (Revisited & Original): 6049 Viking Voyager: I have added Midgardian colours to distract from the key point that I do not have the original shield Also the "cover" for the treasure had been designed in white - I only have similar bricks in black. There they are, rowing away happily... 6049 Viking Voyager (Revisited): A new model required the usage of the "real" vikings. The treasure "cover" was enhanced - and created in white. Overall colour scheme is meant to be close to the original. And then I thought that I need to do something special for the gallion (the original gallion is - frankly speaking - quite poor): .... and I think I was very successful! That was fun! I have used oars - they were not available when the original set came out (we are talking about pre-pirate times!). So, after this overhaul, the new vikings may row away in peace into the sunset! More to come - C&C welcome! Edited April 6, 2019 by Captain Braunsfeld (pictures now on Bricksafe instead of flickr) Quote
SirValiant Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Great job on the re-creation once again I like how you are sticking close to the original while using more 'modern techniques/bigger size to upgrade the build. The mixel eyes on the figure head gave me a smile. Sir Valiant~ Quote
Balbo Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) It's lovely seeing how you are updating the old sets with some modern techniques! Great use of the Mixel eyes btw Edited January 20, 2015 by Balbo Quote
BrickSev Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Very interesting work. Congratulations You made a great job in updating the set. I noticed the "funny" eyes it's a nice touch. Sadly I lost this set among several other old Castle theme sets, included a castle itself. Btw, keep up the great work Quote
ArchitectureFan Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 This is very good. I like the new gallion - very funny! This time the colour scheme is fine. Quote
Loves Houses Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Yeah, frightening these Wikings... Like the idea! Quote
Balthazar Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I really like your re-design of this awesome set. Keep going! Quote
Blakstone Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Nice MOC and very much in keeping with the spirit of the original model but updated for size and new parts. Very inspiring. Quote
Captain Braunsfeld Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Thanks for the kind feedback - and thanks for noticing the "funny" eyes. I fear it turns the revisited set away from serious building into nonsense, but frankly, that's what I like Quote
lightningtiger Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 This one.....well the new looks more Viking than the original......AWESOME designing and Brick On 'Captain B' ! Quote
LittleJohn Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Excellent re-creation! The shields on the side look great as does the covering for the treasure Quote
