Terrain Workshop: Borrower's Trees

I was going to number this one but I believe the name is more fun.  More appropriately, the idea for this creation was borrowed from Astleyhasthis on Flickr.  I started out trying to copy the original but there are some bendy bits I'm not a fan of, so I modified it a little.




The Seaweed part is still the core of the build but, I reduced
the number of 6x5 Leaves to four.  I stacked this on top of a
Candle in the same color as the Seaweed and the 6x5 Leaves.
All of that plugs into a Round Large Jumper on top of a Plate.






This is 1 Hit in MFZ: Rapid Attack and is 18 feet tall
and 27.5 feet wide at its farthest point in 6P scale.



The version on the left uses 4x3 Leaves in an alternate color to the original.  The one on the right still uses 6x5 Leaves but in an alternate color.






If you want to make this a little taller and sturdier, you can swap
out the Candle for two Apollo Studs, and some combination of
1x1 Round Plates and 1x1 Round Bricks totaling up to five.





This changes the Hits to 2
and the height to anywhere
between 20 and 30 feet.  




I've got a bunch of Seaweed, 6x5 Leaves, and Candles so I'm going to make more than a few of these trees.  I just don't know where I'm going to use them yet.  I hope this gives people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds. Flickr page.
