natesroom Posted May 9, 2012 I built a new tree today. It's an autumn birch! For all the LEGO purists out there; close your eyes! It has non-LEGO yellow leave parts: Where in the world did you get Yellow leaves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venunder Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Very nice. As a general rule I think we should stick to Lego parts for most trees. Although I made an exception for the Cuusoo trees because they are proposed designs, which may be Legoised. Of course Lego may produce yellow leaves at some point, so then your design would be great.

Siercon and Coral Posted May 10, 2012 We love trees and plants... Being an environmental scientist I'd love to help. I know we've explored a large variety of real and fantasy trees feel free to look through out flickr. I wont post several dozen photos here, but you can use any of ours. The difficulties with a list like this is it will get huge. Then once your done with trees, your looking at 'Understory' and 'Herbaceous'... shrubs and flowers... Quite the daunting task. But this is definitely something we're interested in and have been accumulating on the side. One thought we've been considering is to organize the plants by environment. Swamp plants, Mountain, Evergreen, Deciduous, Dessert, prairie... Just a thought :) Let us know if you need any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjornu Posted May 11, 2012 All these designs are really great! Maybe a New thread could be made for this: Low Budget-good looking trees ? Greetz Bjornu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angeli Posted June 29, 2012 ;) I didn't think much of this tree, but people seem to like it ;) From Menzoberranzan My first "water all around" tree ;) From Ched Nasad From last one, Elesee Luna tall one, from Lith My'athar And I must say, I am waitthing a batch of 400 white 6x5 leaves ;) This will add to my dark arboretum ;) And with them, I am going to heavily use that "place a rock in 6x5 leave" from my last town, I've got a few full hands of them, and they will go greatly with white leaves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Venunder Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=73160&view=findpost&p=1367207 A nice flat topped tree. Edit: Not particularly good, but here is a tree I put together with parts from 4 Ewok Attacks. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/337/p8180016.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/14/p8180013t.jpg/ I got them 50% off, so this has cost me £50. If I sold the figures etc. I could probably knock that down to £20. It does need some more leaf elements to really fill it out as a Tree. I would guess that the Bricklink cost for it all would be about £25. Edited August 18, 2012 by Venunder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angeli Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) A new tree from Waterdeep: There is a smaller tree but the same principle found here A tree without leaves can be found here and here For branches under the angle I used hinges and Other types of hinges would come handier, but I had only these ones, so... For red flowers I used rocks (diamonds) from PaB :) Edited August 18, 2012 by Angeli Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Venunder Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) That is an interesting use of jewels as "flowers" ? although for underwater scenes this might also make a good coral. Edit Some good Palm trees and Edited September 4, 2012 by Venunder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
