Terrain Workshop: Papercraft Trees 3

I wasn't planning on doing another one of these so soon but I came up with a build yesterday that I wanted to share.  We're still using the folding technique that Lego uses with its Minifig Capes.  But this time we've modified the trunk of the tree that's hidden under the paper.

This is the sixth papercraft tree.  I had cut the paper sections for a

different build that didn't work out.  I'm glad I kept them and used

them for this.  It will take two hits before being completely destroyed.  

Here's a size comparison picture.  In 6P scale it's roughly 34 feet tall.

Here's a breakdown of the parts involved.  The 1x1 Round Brick is the only piece from previous builds.  The trunk of the tree is four 1x3 Hinge Cylinders, one 1x2 Hinge Cylinder w/1 Finger & Axle Hole, one 1x2 Hinge Cylinder w/2 Fingers & Axle Hole, one 2L Notched Axle, and one Axle/Pin.  This gives us

a total of 12 pieces including the paper.  The base was made for a different build and is composed of one 1x2 Technic Brick w/Axle Hole, two 1x6 Bricks, two 1x2 Slopes, two 1x2 Inverted Slopes, and four 1x2 Bricks.

This is the template used to make the "leaf" sections.

Let's talk Pros & Cons.  Pros: It's fairly tall and wide so it should look

good on a table.  It's a reasonable amount of some fairly common parts.

Cons:  The technique used to build it can get a little fiddly when trying to

attach the paper and mount it in the base (see picture).  The internal

colors aren't great.  You could substitute Black for all the pieces of

the trunk but the Axle/Pin in Black hasn't been made since 2006.

So, once again, I hope people like this and find it useful.
