What a coincidence, I was thinking of wearing this exact same outfit to celebrate Independence Day today. Then I remembered that I'm not a cooky conquerer, and that July 4th has nothing to do with vikings (so I'm wearing a shark costume instead, not really). I'll leave this look to One-Eyed Eynar, a fabulous creation by builder lummerlander.
Get it? Nice...Norse... I know, I know. I'm sorry. Anyway, Mark of Falworth built this awesome Viking-esque ship for CCC 14. It seems that building a curvy wooden ship like this would be difficult, but Mark does a fantastic job with it. The shaping on the bow is phenomenal: it has a nice curve overall while still looking like individual planks, just like in real life. Also, the subtly shaded green water makes for a nice change from the slightly unrealistic bright blue water we're used to seeing.
One of the most entertaining aspects of Iron Builder is the smack talk and oneupmanship that happens between the builders Take this brilliant transforming Viking from Starcraft II by One More Brick for example. It was built in direct response to yesterday's amazing siege tank from the same game.
