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...

Hi JoJo,
I keep meaning to comment about this goat but getting distracted. It is great,
fantastic, wonderful and funny. It doesn’t look like its too big and
besides,Minifigs are too big in there own way anyway. Perhaps its a Chernobyl
goat and that is why it is so large.
I’m a big fan of the cloven hooved ruminant so perhaps you can add some friends
like a llama, alpaca and camel since you seem to be good at it.
Thanks for posting this,
Tim
