Terrain Workshop: Trees 19

Continuing our nature walk, let's look at a couple more Lego trees.  This one re-uses the "four pieces around a Travis Brick" technique of Wednesday's build but is less garish and also uses the new 1x2 Round Plate w/Leaf that has a resemblance to a Palm frond.  

This tree starts with an Appendage, Bladed w/Pin for the trunk, into a

Travis Brick, with four 1x2 Round Plates w/Leaf attached.  This makes it 1 Hit

and converts to 27 feet tall, 21 feet across, and 25 feet leaftip-to-leaftip in 6P scale.

You can expand this tree by adding a 1x1 Round Plate, another Travis Brick, and

 four additional 1x2 Round Plates w/Leaf.  This adds another Hit and changes the

dimensions to 29 feet tall, 22 feet across, and 27 feet leaftip-to-leaftip in 6P scale.  If

you want to add more Hits to this Cover you can add more of these layers but it will

need a bigger base than the one I made for it so it doesn't tip over on the table.

Here's the usual suspects for a size comparison.  I hope I've given

people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds.  Flickr Page.
