Hello!
When I got my first Viking the first vague thought looking at those horns was
something like “....goat....”. So I built one. I quickly made several designs
for the goat’s head and for its body.Then I faced the problem: Hot to attache
the head to the body? I wanted it angled at - possibly - 45 degrees. And I
learned: That’s not too easy with LEGO elements. At least not if the creation is
too small to stand regular hinges. Even creative hinges (hinges that are not
made with *hinges* but with other elements) turned out to be too big. What we
need (well, what I need) are hinges with 1×1 bases.
I was close to despair, I even considered rasping some parts.... But no, I
didn’t rasp anything. (I repeat it: I did not rasp anything!) Finally, in my
last attempt, I simply tucked the head on a 1×1 plate with horizontal clip. It
doesn’t clamp too firmly, but it works, somehow.
It’s still too big, though...
Bye
