totally inspired by TTK's Viking with a nose guard and eyemask!

Hey, that looks really cool. Good job!
Where is the axe from? It's a really cool axe as well
Just a question, what does the bat lord helmet (that's the one you used, right?) look like now, with the front part cut out?

Great job freak. I really like the combination of the fright knight helmet and that ummm.. whatyamucallit helmet.

whatyamucallit helmet.

Flared helmet seems to be the preferred term.

Excellent job, Freak. Though I'm not sure about the two-tone look... I'll have to stew over that.

wow... that was pretty fast working Freak... but it looks nice! It would seem as though TTK is starting a Viking Customization movement here... :!:

Is that a traditional helm with the front of a batlord's helm glued in? I'm a bit unfamiliar with most of the new viking stuff, so correct me if any of that is from the viking sets...

Nice of LEGO to give us another theme that fits so well with traditional castle for inspiration.

Haha! Yet another spectacle helmet! I love it. That Bat-Helmet was bjorn just for modifications.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the axe so far. Looks like the prototype for one of Jeff's weapons (and since it uses a flat unbeveled edge, that would be the first set).

Oh hey, I don't have the yellow and blue shield - which set does that come in (only got the two boats and fortress so far)?

LEGOFREAK · Post by **LEGOFREAK** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 3:48 pm

yup thats a little armory axe.
the shield is from the dragon set, the medieval howitzer thing. came with one shield and two stickers.. you get your choice.
the two tone is from a picture I remember seeing of a burial mask in a national geographic. had a silver helm with a gold mask. really cool looking.

anyhow - thanks for the comments!

Very nice job, freak, I just love what you do with the accessories. However.... I think that silver is just a bit too silver.... IMHO. And that's just being nitpicky.

I'd have to agree, the batlord helmet isn't really good for anything other than cannibalizing

My favorite part is the two colors.

Great work!

Well, I like it... *dodges tomatoes*

I don't care for the fact that it stick out from the fig's face, but other thn that you did quite a good job. Maybe a little rub'n'buff to dull the helmt, though... Nah. Good piece, all around.

Very cool LF. I wouldn't have imagimed using the Batlord's faceguard like that, very inventive. I just watched ROTK again this afternoon, and this guy could easily be a Rohan warrior with a little color change. Of course the Rohirrim are a Nordic-inspired group to begin with. I'm still waiting for TRU to come out with Vikings up here in the Northwest. They keep telling me that they aren't available in the US at all yet! I was hoping that axe was a Lego item--shucks.
