Terrain Workshop: Weird Flora

For me, the build process usually starts with sorting pieces.  This creation is typical of that process.  The first item is a 3L Axle w/Stop.  I have a lot of these and I was trying to figure out how to best put them to use.  I tried slotting them through various items but there always seemed to be some sort of connection issue.  Then I got to a 2x2 Round Tile w/Hole, and used a 2x2 Round Plate to hold it on place at the stop on the axle.  I placed the axle into an Axle & Pin Connector #2 and put two 1x1 Round Plates on either side of that to bring it up to the magic number of six.



These are 1 Hit.  They are also 12 feet tall and 5 feet wide in 6P scale.  As you can see from the picture you can line them up in rows as a makeshift wall.










There are other lengths of Axle w/Stop that can be used.
This iteration is a 5L Axle w/Stop.  It's still 1 Hit.  This version
of the build is 17 feet tall and 5 feet wide in 6P scale though.



The usual size comparison.
Another size comparison.








For some reason I think of these as rounded off Minecraft-y bits of terrain.  I hope this gives people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds.  Flickr page.
