Terrain Workshop: Sci-Fi Metal Sunflowers

Continuing on from my "Sci-Fi Metal Trees" terrain workshop post, I have a number of the Propeller 8 Blade 5 Diameter part and I'm using them in a similar way to my Sunflower build from last year.


So the Propeller connects to a 1L Bar w/Angled Hollow Stud, and that
goes into a 2L Pin Connector w/Slot.  A 3L Friction Pin then connects
Liftarm Spacer and another 2L Pin Connector to the first assembly.




These are 1 Hit, and are 19 feet tall (not including
the base) and 10 feet across in 6P scale.  They might
 be a good addition to my Neue Regel table-setting.



The fun part about this build is that the Propeller Blade also comes in
Orange.  I have a few of those so I made a version that looks a bit more
natural.  This one is different from the other one as some of the parts from
the first version aren't available in more plant-like colors.  For this build the the
Propeller connects to a 1L Bar w/Angled Hollow Stud, and that goes into a
Pin w/Friction Ridges & Pin Hole, which goes into a 2L Pin Connector w/Slot, an Axle/ Friction Pin then connects that to a 3L Axle Connector to finish it off.


These are 1 Hit, and are 19 feet tall and 10 feet across in 6P scale.  I hope this gives people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds. Flickr page.
