Terrain Workshop: Trees 3 Revisit

After the "Road to Nowhere" game I got a chance to experience my tree designs in action.  With some of the tree designs meant to be bigger, old growth trees, them having the same amount of Hits as other -- smaller -- tree designs doesn't make much sense.  So I took a couple of days afterwards to try and figure out a way to improve them.

I made a different set of changes to this tree design, hence the separate

post.  Well, kind of.  The changes are more apparent in the taller

 version.  Here's the post about the original version for comparison.

I added four 1x2 Plates in Reddish-Brown, attaching them to the side

arches.  I also added two 1x4 Plates in Dark Tan to the top, under

the Double Curved Slopes 4x1x2/3.  This is a total of six new pieces 

which adds 1 Hit, making the new total 3 Hits.  In 6P scale this tree

is still 15' thick and 18' tall.  The leaves cover roughly 40' edge to edge.

The taller version is where I deviate from the original version.  We start with

four Quarter Cylinder 3x3x5 w/2 Arch Tops, linking them with four 1x2 Plates

on the arches.  Then we stack the updated version of the tree on top of that.

We then add in four Plant Leaves 6x5 on the upper set of arches. This is a total

of twelve new pieces, adding 2 Hits, changing the total to 5 Hits.  In 6P scale

this tree is 15' thick and 34' tall.  The leaves cover roughly 50' edge to edge.

Here's a size comparison photo to show the height change in Tree 3.2.

If the Half Round Plate 3x6 w/1x2 Cutout in Reddish-Brown ever

becomes available in more than one set I'll probably revisit this again.

I hope people like these modifications and it helps

with creating your own terrain.  Flickr Page.
