Trance89 Posted June 5, 2013 This is a tutorial I made for creating small trees. I wasn't quite sure if I had to post it here or maybe in the Town sub forum (or somewhere else?) or if this technique is known allready. But still: enjoy! Parts list: This is the parts list. You will need more of most of them of course. - 6L bar - 1x1 round brick - Sea weed plant - 6x5 leaves - 4x3 leaves Step 1: Add a 1x1 round brick at the bottom of the bar. Step 2: Add 5 more 1x1 round bricks around the bar. Step 3: Add a '6x4 leaves' on top of the 1x1 round bricks and the 'sea weed' plant on top of the leaves. Step 4: Add some leaves on the sea weed. Step 5: And some more untill the sea weed is filled. Step 6: Because the tree looks too open with leaves only placed on the sea weed you can add more leaves on top of the other leaves. The result: Finally the tree is finished and ready to be placed in a Lego city or other MOCs. I hope you like it. ~Trance89 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
