Terrain Workshop: (Pine)Apples and Oranges Trees

These builds were inspired by two different sources.  The first one is an upcoming Lego set, 41737 Beach Adventure Park, which has a tree design that kinda feels like a riff on one of mine.  The other source is the MFZ Discord and a discussion between Alcom Isst, Atavism, and myself.  So I tracked down some of those new Fern pieces and got to building.

 So this starts out similar to a lot of other builds; 1x1x6 Solid Pillar 

 Support, 1x1 Round Plate, Inkwell, and Axle Connector Hub w/4 Bars,

 then four 1x1 Round Plate w/Curved, Upright Leaf, then four Minifig 

 Head w/o Face Pineapple Pattern.  This was actually the second thing

 suggested but the "apples & oranges" joke doesn't work in that order.

The second build just subs in the Technic Ball Joint for the Minifig Head.  While 

it has less options in terms of connectivity, I feel like this one just looks better. 

Both of these designs have twelve pieces which is 2 Hits.  They are both 27 feet tall in 6P scale and the trunk is 2.5 feet thick.  They are roughly 14 feet across from leaf tip to leaf tip.  I really feel like this is a fun looking build and would be an excellent part of any terrain on a battlefield.

Here's the obligatory size comparison with the usual suspects.  I hope this helps people with future terrain designs for MFZ: Rapid Attack.  Flickr page.
