Terrain Workshop: Volcanic Cone

Okay, let's start the new year with some new terrain.  Something other than trees this time, for a change.  I had this idea recently -- along with a bunch of others -- for something a little volcanic.  It starts at the bottom with two Half Cones, two 2x2 Round Plates, then a Round Large Jumper, and Large Flame Piece.

It's 1 Hit, 30 feet tall overall -- 12 feet for the Cone and 18 feet for the Flame -- and 10 feet in diameter at the base in 6P scale.  It also counts as Cover without the Flame Piece if you want to add a Tile or something to round out the numbers.  I think it's a good way to use up those Large Flame Pieces if you didn't have one already.  For me, it's also the start to a new set of terrain.  I also think it looks pretty spectacular and a bunch of these would make a good "Ooohh, look at that" display on a battlefield.

I currently have nine of these assembled.  I hope this gives people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds.  Flickr page.

Polly Want A Baggy 13

Back in October of last year we got a preview of what this year had to offer.  Looks like Lego is transitioning to paper bags for future polybag offerings.  As per usual, this information comes from Brickset.

30688 Tropical Toucan There are some nice flashes of color in this one.  According to New Elementary it's a Gift with Purchase for January 2025.

30689 Birthday Party Animals Kinda brick-y.

30691 Mini Monster Truck This could be a decent starship.

30694 Space Science Mech Frame-in-a-Bag

30695 Cinderella's Mini Garden Castle Looks like a terrain set to me.

30697 Nova's Doghouse Build Either terrain or a Station.

30698 Cooper's Flying Controller Mini Build This looks fun.  Probably another Frame-in-a-Bag.

30699 Mini Ninja Combo Mech Another Frame-in-a-Bag, hopefully it's more available than last year's Ninjago polybag.

30701 Field Flowers The first Botanicals polybag.

30703 Julian's Beach Painting Terrain, from the looks of it.

30704 Balkiry Attack I think this could be a Ship-in-a-Bag for IO or maybe a flying Frame for RA.

30705 The Lush Cave Fight Not sure what to think of this one.

30710 Skid-Steer Loader Another Technic polybag.  Lets hope this one is as good as the Mars Rover from last year.

As always, good hunting.
