I like the vig. I never thought to use those pieces for chicken before (I assume that it's chicken). Is he inside or outside the wall? Just curious. If a raid happened right then, where would he put the chicken?

Re: My first Vig, and a Viking boat....
That's a nice little boat. I think it works better without the fig, as it seems to be half-way between micro and mini scale. If you have the pieces, I'd recommend lengthening and widening a bit to make it mini scale.Barbapple wrote:Well, the name says it all.... first my Viking boat....I actually made this for CCII, but it hasn't been photographed untill now...

As for the vig, good use of the skeleton arm for the drumstick. Very imaginative. Well done!

The boat appeals to me... Its scale is so cute :)

The vig is cool. Your turkey-drumstick solution is great.
Viking ship needs some work (though). I'd recommend 'lowering' it into the water more. You could get away with only have one row or slopes above the water line and have it look good. Right now, it looks like it could tip over easily.

That's one of the smallest viking boats I've ever seen. I think it looks unbalanced because the wing piece juts too far out without any support; try putting some 2x3 inverted 25 slopes in between the 1x2 inverted 45s to make it look more streamlined. Other than that, I like the wood paneling, the mast and sail, and I definitely like the shields on the side.
I hate to say that the drumstick isn't an original idea, I've used it myself after seeing it on Brickshelf about a year ago. Overall, it's a cute scene. If I was that soldier, I'd be significantly more worried about the captain catching me than about a raid!
