Need a technique for branches

[aayla-secura]

Hey.

I dont know if its wrong here etc. But i need to build a few branches. Does someone has a technique for it?

Thanks!

Hi aayla I would take these pieces in brown: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/30374

Then you take a few brown hands an push them on it! That's one of the best techniques

Hi aayla-secura, I moved this to the General Discussion Forum, since its sub-title says: Discuss LEGO news, building techniques, and all other general topics

Apart from that, I think Ewok already showed the best/most beautiful option to build the branches

How big are the branches? I would use these arches normally with a few 1x3 or 1x4 plates in the corresponding color and then plant parts on top.

If it is bigger than that, like say for an ewok village size limb, I would use 2x2 plates of the needed length with bricks on top and then switch to some of the arches or use more plates. See below

The round bars with clips or hands on them work nicely as small branches or trimmed brush.

Here's a 3-trunk tree

I used black 3.2mm rigid tubes for the trunks, with Technic 1x2 double cross hole thin beams to connect them together.

Ideally, TLG would bring out a piece similar to the Brickarms double clip piece, because droid arms are a bit long for adjacent trunk attachment.

i use ?x1 brown tiles as branches, and you can make very wierd shapes

I saw lately an amazing way to do Tree branches.

I can't find the pic on the net but it was a MOC of Endor Ewok trees.

And the guy used Brown Lego technic connectors. The one with different angles.

Connecting them all together and plugging leaves on it is doing amazing branches.

I wil try to find the pic.

Try using the lego indiana jones whip for branches.

Those would be some pretty curly branches. Rather use the PoP whip. It's PoP month after all!

Has anyone ever tried using the brown tread links as branches? That might be something worth looking into...
