I have a stylized deciduous tree that I've made in this picture:

If you use the small Lego leaf pieces, then it looks coniferous.  I used
different pieces from 80's space sets for the branches:

Town Loudhailer: http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=4349
Space Gun: http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=3959

I like the look, but it is more of a surrealistic/fantasy tree than a
realistic one.

Another idea is to use palm tree trunks with large Lego leaf pieces, ala
King's Mountain Fortress.  It really depends how many leaf pieces you have,
and how large you want your trees to be.  Lego trees often look better in
groups, where they can resemble bushes or at least are not as discernable as
individual trees.

Shiri has created a nice tree, but I don't have the link.

Good luck,

Hi all, Can someone please help me finding ideas about tree building? I am mainly trying to build a pinetree forest for a logging camp, but large oaks and other sorts of European trees are also welcome. TIA, Pedro (23 years ago, 15-Oct-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.loc.pt)
