I quite like the house itself. The curved parts that made up the layered look of the longships bow are put to good use to imitate wattle and daub, and a shield hangs above the entrance on either side. One of the sides of the house is open to the elements where there's a small anvil next to a stream. The final instruction booklet contains directions for the third model, a small tree and a large wolf; presumably Fenris (or Fenrir) of Norse mythology. It's the smallest of the three builds.

When all is said and done, this is a fun display piece as a whole. Although, I can imagine plenty of hours of imaginative play as well. As far as sizing goes, it’s large, but not exceedingly so. Sometimes you build a model like this one and it feels way larger than what’s on the box, but this one seems as-expected. Which is not to say that it’s small, of course!

You can also see clearly in these side photos how the sail hangs from the mast boom and rests gently on the tension ropes.

The construction of the longship itself employs a lot of SNOT techniques to make the bow and stern of the keel, with the usual method of using bright colours internally to keep the build interesting and provide easier orientation of the model until they're eventually covered up. The figurehead at the prow of the boat is a fearsome dragon (believed by the Vikings to protect them against the evil spirits on the hostile land they were sailing to conquer), and mirrored nicely at the stern with a similarly elaborate carving.The pitched roof hinges open, inside which are four other shields attached in the rafters of the building. This part of the build is somewhat busy and a little bit of a mess, however.

The serpent poses a formidable foe to the crew of the longship, and towers over the poor minifigures! After building the longboat, you may be hard pressed to take it apart and build the other models. But for the sake of a complete review, I went ahead and took one for the team. A word of wisdom: as the instructions suggest, it’s best to take the entire model apart and organize the pieces rather than break it into chunks as you build. The added time will ultimately save you time and frustration in the long run. There are three instruction booklets included; two smaller ones for each of the alternative models, and a large one for the main build. I was surprised by the choice of colour on the booklet; the use of the pale tan looks quite insipid and far less enticing than the box artwork.

The roof of the dining table comes off easily, for better access to the seats, and the sunken area to the fore of the table has a few bales of hay for the cow to munch on while the crew enjoy their fish. Finally, Fenris himself is constructed, making liberal use of the various joints from the serpent combined with parts of the hull. His tail, head, and all four legs can be individually posed, as well as his jaw. However, I think the designer has done a pretty decent job of capturing the essence of the beast, and its size is clearly evident next to the minifigures (only one shield is provided for the four of them, this time!)Now, if they do more sets to match in the future, similar to how they've made the matching Space sets in 31107 , 31115 , and 31117 , I'd be definitely happy for LEGO to continue these classic themes under the Creator banner." The resulting model is one of a fearsome serpent, head and tail rearing into the air, with an impressive amount of articulation. Every joint in the tail can move, providing a large number of poses. However, I was slightly disappointed to see that the foremost section of the serpents body, from the floor to the base of the head, is fixed in place. The alternative models are quite nice, but it's the main build that really stands out with its attention-grabbing design, multitude of play features, and the general feeling of nostalgia it evokes for the earlier short-lived Vikings line. LEGO have reintroduced a horned helmet, of which you get two in the set, and I think it looks fantastic. Our ginger-bearded warrior is also wearing a new highly-detailed torso print; another breastplate, this time of a woven material, over a green tunic. His orange trousers are nicely colour-matched with his beard! The tree is a tall, thin, pine tree, mostly made from the mast of the longship and the roof of the dining area (I am forever in awe of the designer's ability to create three usable—if not downright good—models from one set of parts). There's a small area for a campfire beneath, although it is somewhat of a mismash of colours.
