Hi Bruce. There is an LDraw file of the mailbox design in my Brickshelf folder.

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=74077

On the tree, I like the way you turned half of the leaf elements by 90
degrees to avoid the "shelf effect" that many LEGO trees have (including my
own).  I'm definitely going to borrow that for my next forest setting.

I was surprised that it didn't appear anyone else was using the leaf elements
sideways in their tree designs. I believe each of my trees use 10 of the large
leaf parts and 5 of the smaller ones - making them relatively economical. The
central trunk is threaded with a technic flex tube and the sideways leaves are
firmly held to the 1x1 studs brick using small pieces of a flex tube that I
chopped up. (Yes I mutilated Lego element - but not in the name of asthetics;
just practicality!)

(...) Shoot. I'm among the LDraw illiterate. What piece is holding the rounded plates on? I think that the rest is visible from your photos. Bruce (21 years ago, 3-Mar-04, to lugnet.build)
