Terrain Workshop: Alien Plants 4

While it seems like I skipped a number there is a third Alien Plant.  It was posted to Flickr rather than here and maybe I'll do a breakdown at some point in the future.  Digging back into the "Alien Plant" territory -- pardon the pun -- for another build, the main driver for this creation was the 2x2 Dome Bottom -- along with a fun inversion technique.  Working downward from there, you combine it with a 2x2 Round Tile w/Hole, a Friction Pin, another 2x2 Round Tile w/Hole, another 2x2 Round Dome, then stack it on a 1x1 Round Brick for a 1 Hit piece of Cover.  I also feel like it sort of reminds me of an inverted Bowling Pin.  Which could make it fun Cover for a "shooting gallery" type of table-setting.

The fun thing about these pieces -- like a prior Terrain Workshop -- is they come in a number of colors which allows you to make multiple combinations. Flexing fictional muscles again allows us to make fun explanations as to why these combos exist, like just sprouted, under-ripe, ripe, and over-ripe (from left to right). Placing all of these on a plate in a line gives you a wall of sorts.

You can make a taller version by starting with two 1x1 Round

Bricks, a 2x2 Dome Bottom, a 2x2 Round Tile w/Hole, a

2x2 Round Tile w/Stud, then another 2x2 Round Dome.  This

one is still 1 Hit but it changes the height in 6P scale to 14 feet.

This version looks like the nosecone of a rocket to me.  It starts with

a 2x2x2 Cone, a 2x2 Dome Bottom, a 2x2 Round Tile w/hole, a

Friction Axle Pin, a Truncated Cone, and finishes with a 1x1 Cone.  

This one is still 1 Hit but it changes the height in 6P scale to 16 feet.

It definitely has a more mechanical look than the prior versions.

Here's a look at all the ones I've built so far.  Like I mentioned earlier, having the main parts in multiple colors allows this build to be multi-dimensional.

In 6P scale these are 11ish feet tall and 5 feet wide.  As you can see from

the usual suspects in the size comparison picture they are a decent size.

I'll probably be adding these to my Sci-Fi Outpost table-setting too. I

hope this helps people with future terrain designs for MFZ: Rapid Attack.
