Default I built a Viking...

This Viking has been in my garage for over 10 years hanging on a painting stick covered in primer.

I've been forcing myself to finish off old projects before jumping into new ones.

Anyways, I really like how it came out. I haven't actually put a mini engine mount in it, but I still might. Either that, or just use an adapter.

Interesting twist on decor for a Viking kit!

I have its predecessor, the Cub Scout Akela kit I built last summer, stock, that still needs its final coat of white on the body and then the second color for the fins (haven’t completely decided on that second color though).

just bought a box of them from Hobby Lobby. For just over a dollar a kit, they'll go very well with my 1972-priced 2012-vintage packs of A8-3!

Definitely the best usage of Viking parts I have ever seen.

Most of them are ViQUEENs
