Terrain Workshop: Lesser Pirate Palm

Wanting to use the Triple Pin/Axle Connector in a more "normal" build, I came up with the following idea.  This doesn't have much in common with the original Pirate Palm beyond the 6x5 Swordleaf w/Clip piece.


Inserted into the ends of the Triple Axle/Pin Connector are three
2L Bars w/Stop Ring, attached to those are three 6x5 Swordleaves w/Clip.
That assembly is placed onto a 1L Axle/2L Pin w/Friction Ridges
which is plugged into a Smooth 2L Axle Connector which is attached
to another Smooth 2L Axle Connector by a Notched Axle.  The stack
is topped off with a 1x1 Round Brick.  This is a total of twelve pieces
which is 2 Hits.  It's 26 feet tall and 16 feet wide in 6P Scale.




I'm calling it a "Lesser Pirate Palm" because it only uses three Swordleaf pieces as opposed to the four of the original.  The trunk is also shorter in this design.  When I first built this I had the leaves pointing at the ground.  But I discovered that it looked so much better the other way around.  I hope this gives people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds.  Flickr page.
