Hey all,
So I guess I've recently come out of my dark ages, and after lurking for a while, deciding to join. Anyway, here's a build I didn't finish in time for CCC and am just now posting. Criticism appreciated!

Re: Longship
Quite a nice longship, the serpent figurehead is excellent and makes good use of those old style hinges. The oar docks and mast are also well built.
I think the main area to improve, would be the hull: particularly the center section which feels a bit flat. A bit more rounding out of the sides would make it look more realistic

John 14:6, Jesus answered, "I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Re: Longship
Really fun. It's like classic space meets vikings, with the blue color, all of those trans green elements, and that flexible arm (which I really only remember from [url=http://brickset.com/sets/6901-1/Mobile-Lab]6901, Mobile Lab[/url]). You should have finished off the effect with either gray radar dishes or this piece:

along the side as shields. Favorite bit is the dragon helm's face. Least favorite bit is probably the blocky-ness of the water.

Yeah. That's my favorite shield, but I only own 3 atm :/Bruce N H wrote:You should have finished off the effect with either gray radar dishes or this piece:
