Terrain Workshop: Sunflowers

In my review of the Field Flowers polybag I wrote "I see sunflowers in my future."  The build I'll be sharing with you in this post is what I meant.

This starts with a Bevel Gear that has a 1x1 Five Petal Round Plate and an Angled Bar w/Stud attached to it.  Attach that to two 2L Smooth Axle Connectors joined by a 2L Axle.  This is 1 Hit and 15 feet tall in 6P scale.  The flower is 10 feet across.

I added two 1x2 Panels and two 1x4 Lattice Fences to the base to make it into a Station.  If you want to build a storyline around them for your game, here's a couple of ideas.  You could be fighting over plants on a world covered in concrete and steel.  Maybe they're the source of a new biological compound that all the pharma megacorps want.  Finally, giant sunflower seeds could possibly be the next big thing in snack food for competing agribusinesses.

I hope this gives people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds.  I personally added them into my Asian Antenna Farm to bring a little color to the setting.  Flickr page.
