Odin and his brothers slay Ymir and the frost giants.

From Ymir’s wounds come rivers of blood, drowning and nourishing all things.

Odin and his brothers escape the torrent in a ship...

Ah! Another Viking Vignette. Wonderful. I especially like the use of the Yeti as the frost giant. Great idea.

Only two minor complaints/issues/suggestions. Fit it on an 8x8 base, so its a true vignette. And two... your Odin has two eyes ;)

Don’t worry about making it a true vignette, you could always make a larger scene or building including beautiful details and call it a... what did we used to call those?... Oh, yes; a MOC! ; )

God Bless,

I will separate it into two true 8x8 bases, one for Ymir, one for Odin. Fair?

Buri was the first man. His son Bor married Bolthor’s daughter of the frost giants. She was called Bestla and her three sons were Odin, Vili, and Ve.

After slaying Ymir, these three made the world from the body.

I looked at your vignette and got started!

Since I didn’t read straight through my handy manual of Norse Myths, I have to use the index. Ah, here it is: Odin, eye lost by: page 15.

In the Yeti’s ears you can put Viking horns, or flames. Lego thinks of these things. Now the Vikings all have Frost Giant horns.

Nice work. A little graphic but all round very creative... the use of the yeti is brilliant! My only Q, why does Odin always get the headline? What about his brothers? Do they have names?

God Bless,

Nathan
