Fellow AFOLs, long ago, I decided to build a Lego tree. In contrast to the usual christmas trees available from Lego this tree should be of proper size and proportions to fit into a given scenario. A first attempt led to the basic building (...) (21 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.castle) !!

Christian, A very nice tree. It's great to see people creating Lego constructions, especially in minifig scale, based on what they're like in real life, as opposed to what "Lego" versions of those things are traditionally like (official sets, etc.). (...) (21 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Very nice! Great to see a proper large tree in Lego. While I wait eagerly for the construction details, would you give some idea of the numbers of green leaf parts and the parts you used for trunk/branches? It looks like black 1x3 plates are (...) (21 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle)

Now that's simply stunning. Your perseverance has paid off; it's what those little trees can only dream of becoming. Of course now we want to see a forest, but that's inevitable when the bar gets raised like this. Thanks for sharing and keep (...) (21 years ago, 30-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Basically, I am very, very bad at designing natural structures. So I build this tree from a set of very simple rules, and, luckily, I succeeded. It is just a kind of "evolutionary building" style, i.e. like a real tree, I placed branches and (...) (21 years ago, 30-Apr-04, to lugnet.castle)
