7018

LEGO set 7018, “Viking Ship challenges the Midgard Serpent”, depicts a Viking ship confronting the Midgard Serpent. Released in 2005 under the Vikings theme, it contains 580 pieces and presents a mythological encounter with an armed crew.

This set belongs to the Vikings theme and uses Norse myth as the basis for its subject. The model is not just a ship display: the title places the vessel in direct conflict with the Midgard Serpent, giving the build a clear narrative focus within the theme.

The build brings together the ship, the serpent and the Viking characters. With 580 pieces, it forms a complete scene rather than a stand-alone vehicle. The 6 minifigures listed by Rebrickable are Viking Warrior - Armour, Sand Blue Arms, Blue Legs, Viking Warrior - Armour, Battle Axe on Torso, Sand Green Arms, Dark Green Legs, Viking Warrior - Breast Plate, Dark Green Legs, Viking Warrior - Armour, Light Bluish Grey Arms, Viking King - Armour, Red Legs, Black Cape, and Viking Warrior - Armour, Bare Arms, Black Legs.

It suits story-based play because the conflict is built into the subject, but it also works as a display piece with a clear centre of action. In a Vikings collection, it can anchor a sea or mythological setting and stand alongside other warriors or creatures from the same theme.
