TranceM89 posted a brilliant tutorial on Eurobricks for building a LEGO tree. This is a slightly different technique than I have seen in the past, and very effective. I can see this LEGO tree lining my city streets very soon!
***I am reposting the tutorial here for my readers***
LEGO tree building tutorial
This is the parts list. You will need more of most of them of course.
- 6L bar
- 1×1 round brick
- Sea weed plant
- 6×5 leaves
- 4×3 leaves
Step 1
Add a 1×1 round brick at the bottom of the bar.
Step 2
Add 5 more 1×1 round bricks around the bar.
Step 3
Add a ’6×4 leaves’ on top of the 1×1 round bricks and the ‘sea weed’ plant on top of the leaves.
Step 4
Add some leaves on the sea weed.
Step 5
Add 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.
Finally the tree is finished and ready to be placed in a Lego city or other MOCs.
Very simple, yet elegant. I like the uneven look, and the roundness. This LEGO tree will certainly add variety to your MOCs.
Have you seen any other good LEGO tree tutorials?
