Viking Privy (toilet)

[greg3]

Even the most fearsome Viking warrior needs to take a break from raiding, pillaging, fighting and feasting in order to answer the call of nature…. and where better to do this than in the peace and privacy of the Viking Privy!

“Protected from the worst of the elements but with plenty of ventilation, the facility incorporates a gravity operated waste transportation system leading to a subterranean storage facility. A comfortable seat and absorbent, biodegradable plant based wipes to deal with any “mess” complete the customer experience.”

This build actually began as an experiment in fence designs for a historical themed MOC I have planned. I’ve previously used flex tube to create the woven hurdle type texture but these flexible hoses are far easier to use and look much better. The idea for turning it into a toilet come from a reconstruction of a Viking toilet I saw online and I thought why not?

Fun build! There is a very similar one in the Jorvik viking centre in York.

That's the one it's based on... minus the "authentic Viking smells"!

Nice one! The fence looks great.

Functional and necessary. I think it stinks though   JK.

Funny idea! Reminds me of my approach to this "topic". I build wooden toi-tois for our Medieval Tournament diorama a couple of years ago.

Nice work with that flexible part. ;)
