At the same time I was writing my last Terrain Workshop post about trees, I was formulating another idea based on a part that is a little younger than the Cylinder part that was the core of my last idea.
So this is composed of four Quarter Cylinder 3x3x5 w/2 Arch Tops, two Half Round Plate 3x6 w/1x2 Cutout for the trunk, with four Plant Leaves 6x5, and two Double Curved Slope 4x1x2/3 for the top (I originally went with two Curved Slope 2x2x2/3 but I switched due to color issues and also the Double Curved Slopes will help connect the two sides of this build.). In 6P scale this tree is 15' thick and 18' tall. It will take 2 Hits to destroy. Unlike the tree in the previous post, this one requires a plate for a base. In terms of colors, I went with Dark Tan for the Half Round Plates because that part doesn't exist in Reddish Brown yet. Six trees in these colors would be $24.24, or $4.04 per tree, from Bricklink.
If we want to make them taller we should remove the Double Curved Slopes. We also have to remove the Plant Leaves and place them on the arch sections otherwise the connection between the upper and lower sections is really weak. We should also add in a 2x2 Plate on the other arch sections to -- once again -- secure the two halves of this build. This will also keep the parts count the same. Then we duplicate the first level. This gives us a 4 Hit, 34' tall tree. Any Frame on top of this version would count as Elevated. Six sections in these colors would be $23.04, or $3.84 per tree, from Bricklink.
Orrrrr, you could swap out that section for four Round Corner Brick 2x2 Macaroni w/Stud Notch & Reinforced Underside, two Half Cylinder 2x4x4, then top it off with a 4x4 Round Plate, four Plant Leaves 6x5, and a 2x2 Round Tile. This would give us a 4 Hit, 34' tall tree. Any Frame on top of this version would also count as Elevated.
