Terrain Workshop: Trees 32

Sometimes you subconsciously reach back to older builds while trying to design something new.  That's not a bad thing.  If a technique has worked before, it should work again.  Today's creation draws from ideas I had back in 2022.



This build starts with a 1x1x6 Solid Pillar Support and a Travis Brick with four
Trunks w/Bar End (Long Straight Tip) plugged into it.  On the ends of the
Trunks are four 1x2 Round Plates w/Pointed Leaf.  On top of the Travis
Brick is a 1x1 Round Brick and a 1x1Round Plate w/Twist.  This tree is 29 feet
tall and 15 feet across in 6P scale and can take 2 Hits before being destroyed.






As you can see in this version, I changed the colors and a few of the parts to
make something that would fit better with some of the plants in my Oasis
setting.  The trunk is changed to two 3L Axle Connectors joined by a
Notched Axle.  Topping that off is an Axle/Friction Pin.  The Travis Brick,
four Trunks, and four Pointed Leaves are added to that.  Topping off the
stack is a 1x1 Cone.  Added to the outside of the Pointed Leaves are four
1x1 Round Plates w/3 Layered Leaves.  This version is 26 feet tall and
15 feet across in 6P scale and can take 3 Hits before being destroyed.


Here's the size comparison against the usual suspects.  Once again I hope I've given people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds.  Flickr page.
