And the great wave erupted, nothing withstanding its power, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake... I ordered some of the rarer blue pieces from bricklink, without a specific purpose, knowing only that I would use them eventually. While I was building, a sudden idea of a vignette with a scandinavian longship popped into my head. It was as though the bricks built themselves. Then came the time to build the base, and I knew this was the job for the blues. Five minutes of bricks and a lot of careful balancing amounts to this.
