BSC2023 pistolpete Uppsala - submitted
« on: January 27, 2023, 01:07:45 PM »
Had lots of ideas, none of which were that interesting. I have been watching vikings valhalla so I settled on making uppsala for the build.  It won't be an entire village but focus on the temple, altar, totems, maybe a few other small things.

Again my goal is to make it past the first round.  There's some really good ideas and creative folks participating so I'll have have step it up.

I remember the episode in the original series where they all went there. A very mysterious and evocative place. Should make for an interesting build!

Best of luck!  :)

I thought about building this but one more true to the historical as opposed to the one in the Vikings series, this may help you see: http://www.illustratedcuriosity.com/history/history-postclassical-era/viking-paganism-as-chronicled-by-adam-of-bremen/

@golgotha thanks for the link. I'm still in the research phase so it'll be a help.

Also; the original was in a relatively flat area, if I recall correctly, and not on a rocky peak, as in the series.

It did look a lot more dramatic that way though  ;)

Even though it hasn't started, i think sketches,plans are ok to post.  If not I'll remove this.  Here's my rough design

First step is roofs.  Lots of mistakes trying to get the low pitch angles but finally got it. Maths is hard!


Next is middle roof with high pitch.  Expect more mistakes too.
