So this is composed of a 4x4 Round Brick, four Quarter Cylinder 2x2x5 w/1x1 Cutout, and a 4x4 Round Plate for the trunk, with four Plant Leaves 6x5, and two Curved Slope 2x2x2/3 for the top (I originally went with two Double Curved Slope 4x1x2/3 but it turns out I don't have as many of those as I thought.). In 6P scale this tree is 10' thick and 21' tall. It will take 2 Hits to destroy and anything that stands on top of it counts as being Elevated. In terms of colors, I went with Black for the base 4x4 Round Brick because I don't have any in Reddish Brown. I went with Dark Brown for the 4x4 Round Plate because that part doesn't exist in Reddish Brown yet. I went with basic Green for the Leaves and Curved Slopes. To build a minimum of six of this design -- in the colors mentioned -- would cost $12.24 or $2.04 per tree through Bricklink.
If we want to make them taller we should remove the Double Curved Slopes and replace them with 1x2 Rounded Plates, this will allow us to keep building upwards and keep the parts count the same. For the start of the second section, instead of a 4x4 Round Brick, I'm going with another 4x4 Round Plate, the rest is the same as the previous section. This gives us a 4 Hit, 40' tall tree. To add a minimum of six of this section -- in the colors mentioned --would cost $11.64 or $1.94 per tree through Bricklink.
So the older style tree on the left is 25 feet tall and 2.5 feet thick in 6P scale. The older style tree on the right is 22 feet tall and 2.5 feet thick in 6P scale. Neither one counts the base for height.
If you want to beef it up a little without adding any height, you can add four Round Plant Plate 1x1 w/3 Leaves in Green and two 1x2 Plates in Reddish Brown and this will add 1 Hit. This would cost $1.56 for six trees, or $0.26 per tree through Bricklink.
Hopefully this helps people with building better trees for their gaming tables.
