MacK Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Greetings! I usually build military or sci-fi models, but I thought that my old Viking minifigs could do with a proper ship. Hence I built "Dreki". "Dreki" is Old Norse for Dragon. Dreki by Tyler, on Flickr Viking Ship - Dreki by Tyler, on Flickr Dreki by Tyler, on Flickr There are a few more photos on my Flickr. Thank you for looking. Quote
deraven Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 Nice. I especially like the shaping on the bow & figurehead. Quote
Csc167 Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Nice indeed! Vikings are always a welcome sight! Quote
BrickJagger Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Nice to see a new Vikings MOC. The figurehead look great. Quote
Captain Green Hair Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Even though it might not be 100% accurate I like it! Very creative build and the figureah is indeed great! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted September 18, 2016 Posted September 18, 2016 Very nicely done! I like the SNOT angled plates used to help create the hull's shape Featured on brickbuilt Quote
MacK Posted September 20, 2016 Author Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Thank you all for the comments! Even though it might not be 100% accurate I like it! Very creative build and the figureah is indeed great! Thanks, Captain Green Hair. For my own information, are there any major inaccuracies that you see? I did some research while building, but I'm curious if I missed something obvious. Very nicely done! I like the SNOT angled plates used to help create the hull's shape Featured on brickbuilt Thanks for the mention on your blog, I appreciate it! Edited September 20, 2016 by MacK Quote
Captain Becker Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 This longboat is really well made! And its all custom and made whit bricks. I must say that overall, this is quite accurate, a bit too narrow maby? But thats just ideal for rivers. Captain Becker Quote

Dreki might be a little narrow, but in order to fix that, I think I would have add an outward curve to the sides of the ship, since right now the middle section is straight. However, doing that might be a little bit out of my building ability Quote
Draxx Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 I like the build especially the ship curves in SNOT. Quote
Basiliscus Posted September 28, 2016 Posted September 28, 2016 Really nice shaping, particularly at the bow! Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Looks pretty sweet! Are all of those official Vikings shields? Quote
Lord Sith Lego Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Awesome custom build! I love vikings and there was an old set that Lego released of a viking ship but it's so rare and too expensive to buy from ebay. Edited October 6, 2016 by Lord Sith Lego Quote

I bought that old ship when it was released, and it's where a lot of the crew for Dreki came from. Quote
BrickCurve Posted October 9, 2016 Posted October 9, 2016 Great job, it looks excellent! The shaping works well, as does the figurehead. The sail and mini figure posing are also really good! Quote

SerenityInFire Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Very nice work. I especially like the dragon head on the front of the boat. Quote
bnesty Posted October 23, 2016 Posted October 23, 2016 Great work. I prefer this brick built style than using large pieces. Quote
