4-5/7: The base and more wheels
This is it, folks! Today is the day my Viking Dragon Ship finally sets sail. Ahoy! Or should I say… Skål!
There wasn’t too much to do already! The ship was almost finished, the only two remaining things to set were the mechanical system and the oars.
As I figured, the engine and wires and plug and all had to go in the base, in that massive space under the sea!
Sorry, sorry. Under the ship, not under the sea. My mistake.
Some parts covering here and there…
Front covered with our beloved ROKR logo postcard…
And back showing the usb-C port and the on/off switch 
That switch was a nice add-on lol. The Titanic for example don’t have this, so you either unplug it or have it with the lights on all the time!
Anyway, moving on! The mechanical system is completed, so there’s only one thing keeping us away from the very end of this build… The oars!
The oars were easy and quick to make, basically a combination of four parts each (for 12 oars, 6 on each side) and some waxing on them for the parts that will be in contact with other parts of the ship while moving around.
And now let’s add them to the ship, shall we? So this beast will finally be finished and completed! Yay!
Each oar needs to be waxed as I’ve mentioned, then put through a hole in the shield structure, then through a smaller hole in the mechanism parts:
It’s not as complicated as it sounds though!
And then…
Then…
It’s finally done! Look at my baby. Isn’t she beautiful?
Yeah, I’ve decided it’s a she. And I’m calling her Dracarys. Why not 
No fire coming out of that mouth though.
I’ve been testing the engines and gears before putting the oars together, so everything should work properly. I don’t know what I’d do if it doesn’t!
So we plug the usb-C in, turn the switch to the ON position, and…
VOILÀ!
My Viking Dragon Ship is finished, finally! Thanks again @Robotime for this amazing Leaderboard Prize. It’s been a truly interesting journey; maybe not my favourite building process (the Dream Gift Factory still holds that title) or my favourite finished build (there’s still the Seahorse Barque up there), but it’s a trully beautiful and majestic one.
Notes: If you wanna move it somewhere or you don’t want it to take up so much space, the oars can be easily removed whenever and stored on both sides of the base that’s a clever and well thought choice, and truly appreciated!
Here’s a video of it plugged in and ON, with the lights on, the wheels rotating and the oars rowing! If I have one only complaint about this (besides the fact that there’s no music, but hey, this isn’t a music box, isn’t it? 
) is that it feels like the oars move soooooo slowly. How are the vikings supposed to reach England through the seas at that speed?
Anyway, I’m happy with it nonetheless! And I guess it’ll stay as some kind of centerpiece on my living room table until I have more furniture home.
Next… Well, it won’t be the Cuckoo Clock yet, as that may surprise somebody I do like so build something smaller/quicker/easier in between two “bigger” builds. A Book Nook, maybe? We’ll see!
Thanks a lot for following my Norse journey, and see you/read you around!
PS: I’m so sorry @Jerry_Boswijk, no missing flying pieces or unvoluntary customizations this time
They really thought about the shelf space struggle. Huge congrats on finishing the journey!
