Looks like the legend!

Them gods showing off. Great moc Athos. Must of had a 200-ton tested fishing line?
Question: How did they fit an ox on board that tiny boat?

I can hear the guy with the pole saying "I told you live bate worked better."

Nice vig sized boat, and way to get that serpent in there

Heh, nice work Steve.

Is that a mod design of the serpant from the Viking boat or not?

Sorry I'm not familiar with the legend, but the expression on that serpent's face looks about the same as the one on a snapping turtle I saw a guy hook on accident: P.O.'d.

nice job fitting it all onto an 8x8. The dragon head on the boat is pretty cool, though your modifications to the serpent are obviously the best aspect.

Nice. Though his companion on this journey was a giant (cant remember the name though) who used a knife to cut it off, and not a huge axe, the size on the giant doesnt matter, though, the size of the gods are rarely mentioned and some have human forms so I guess a giant would be as large as a god normally.

The giant probably enchanted the boat to be good enough to carry the ox, or he had a floating container dragged behind.

Its great though, a change from axe to knife and its perfect. Nice cramped size too. Mjölner is best made from the old Megablok smithy hammer, but I guess its non-purist.

Steve, I love the jalapeno pepper idea (gallery), and the viking with flames comming out of his ears is very good as well, all of the viking scenes are very good!

Wrong moc, I think you are looking for "Scandinavia meets Tex-Mex"
This is about a viking trying to fish, and instead getting the Midgard Serpent.

Ahh, THIS myth. Thor and Jormungand. Very well done.
