Deadliest Catch

[mrcp6d]

Two Norsemen introduce a couple Mitgardians to the clans' traditional summer Ice Haddock fishing activities off the Isles of Solitude. Ice Haddock serves as a protein staple in most Mitgardians' diets--fresh in the summer and salted or cold smoked in the winter--and as a major trade item with Avalonian and Kaliphlinite merchants. The Norsemen did not, however share that Ice Haddock makes excellent bait for luring in Western Sea Serpents...


I haven't had much time to build since CCCX ended, but when did, I was usually tweaking things on that sea serpent. I think it turned out pretty good, but that head is kind of heavy. Are there any dragon/monster/mech builders out there with tips or tricks for holding arms/legs/tails/etc in place?

C&C appreciated!

You've got some really great designs in here. From the actual Sea Serpent, to how you've got the water, or even the boat, I really dig this MOC. Also, nice choice of minifig faces. Keep it up!

This is one of the better MOCs I've seen in a while. I likehe landscaping and how realistic the rocks look with the snow above the water.
I absolutely adore how you have the water, offering a different perspective so we can see underneath. That Viking helm hidden down there gives a great touch of detail

I think more than anything, is the uniqueness of the water. It's not something you see everyday so it really stands out.
Your brick-built serpent is top notch!
I'd love to see a MOC depicting what happened in the fight (bloody serpent head or shattered boat?).

Hello,

Well done!

Great job! I am a big fan of the serpent. Very cool water technique too.

Thanks for the feedback folks, the water was a lot of fun!

Awesome MOC! This is a really creative build; the way you did the water is nuts! Great job!

This is awesome! The rocks and mountain are superb. I LOVE the boat design, and the sea serpent actually turned out great, one of the best sea serpents out there. The water is really detailed, and I like the above water/underwater separate views. Honestly just perfect moc.

I build dragons and serpents a lot, I have built maybe 2 serpents and 2 dragons. My serpents sucked completely, yours is inspirational. For dragons I am mostly inspired by the old vikings line, and I really like the dragons from that. So I use the same techniques for wing attachment a lot, and sometimes for legs as well. Currently working on a black dragon inspired by LOTR fell beasts.

Thanks for the kind words, looking forward to your dragon!

Neat serpent! Won't ever go serpent fishing myself though!

Fantastic MOC overall, no improvements needed and so much to praise here!
