Gabe Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 (edited) Before Vikings were famed for sacking and pillaging towns along the coast of Europe, they were known as hardy and intrepid seafarers. This is my take on the prow of a viking longship in *extremely* rough open water! It was originally built as a vig for the EB collectable minifig series 4 comp, but sadly i couldn't get it finished in time. But here it is anyway. :) Thanks for looking! Any criticism welcomed.

maydayartist Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Very nice design of the ship bow. My first thought was that this could be a 8 x 8 vig for a minifig contest and hey it was Try to do a whole ship with this technique Quote
Captain Blackmoor Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 I looks like he is in deep high trouble! A nice build for sure, the figurehead of the ship looks splendid, as well for the mighty wave. Nice job! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 That's a very interestingly shaped wave. In any case, the longship prow is very well done; I too would love to see you do the whole thing. Quote
Niku Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 It is really good one gabethe height is incredible,the forms, shapes and the combination of blues is perfect. Poor viking I hope he knows how to swim. Quote
Hoboman Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 I like this. I admit, I would like to see the next moment of this scene. Sort of like a viking verson of a roller coaster. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Very unique and excellently-built vig gabe, especially the wave and the small viking ship. Too bad you weren't able to enter this in the contest as this would've certainly gotten my vote. Great job nevertheless! Quote
Gabe Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) Thanks peeps for the lovely comments, glad you like. I'm trying to improve my lego photography a little bit more with each moc too... not sure that i did so well with the uneven light in this one. Possibly i've ironed out too much of the contrast in the image-processing step too. Very nice design of the ship bow. *snip* Try to do a whole ship with this technique Ok, you talked me into it! I'll have a go after i finish my futuristic dwarf ninja fortress (at least that's what it is at the moment? Not quite sure at this stage). Edited July 4, 2011 by gabe Quote
