Terrain Workshop: Trees 23

These are actually some of the earliest trees I made.  (The first version is just over eight years old.)  But since the core part, the Technic Rotor Plate, is now available in Dark Brown as of 2021 -- and I've been looking at these again because of Dinosaur Planet playtesting -- I'm going to make a few more revisions that will hopefully make these look better.  These changes will also, finally, remove all of the Light Bley parts that just looked so weird in the initial designs.

Large Triple Tree
30176 Plant Brick, Round 1x1 w/3 Bamboo Leaves (x3)
2423 Plant Leaves 4x3 (x3)
6148 Plant, Tree Palm Leaf Small 8x3 (x3)
32125 Technic, Plate Rotor 3 Blade w/Smooth Ends & 6 Studs (Propeller) (x2)

31183 Carrot Top/Twig (x1)
4286 Slope 33 3x1 (x3)
2339 Brick, Arch 1x5x4 - Continuous Bow (x3)
3005 Brick 1x1 (x6)

3023 Plate 1x2 (x6)

This is 6 Hits and is 16 feet tall and covers a circle 60 feet across in 6P scale.  If you want this design to be a little more frangible you can remove the 4x3 Plant Leaves and the Bamboo Leaves which brings it down to 5 Hits.

Small Triple Tree
30239 Plant Leaves 6x5 Swordleaf w/Clip (x3)
32125 Technic, Plate Rotor 3 Blade w/Smooth Ends & 6 Studs (Propeller) (x2)

24855 Plant Flower Stem w/Bar Holder, Bar, and 3 Stems (x1)
3040 Slope 45 2x1 (x3)
13965 Brick, Arch 1x3x3 (x3)
3005 Brick 1x1 (x6)

This is 3 Hits and is 11 feet tall and covers a circle 40 feet across in 6P scale.  Here's the usual suspects for a size comparison.

Some of the things I like about these designs is that they cover a fair amount of real estate, they're pretty sturdy, and they provide cover from multiple directions.  So along with being attractive they're useful as well.  I hope I've given people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds.  Flickr Page.
