Hello Antony,
That is just the sort of organic fuzzyness I had in mind when i made the
suggestion. You did it very well. On top of this, the added vegetation and
details largely contribute to the improvement as well. I'm pleased that you
took this effort, the pictures shows you realy enjoyed doing the makeover.

It actually is the plain old rule of Phytagoras, but with a small twist:
place a 1x1 round plate, count from this plate 4 studs horizontal and 3
studs vertical and place a 1x1 round plate again. The diagonal between the
two studs from center to center is exactly 5 studs long, which means that
you can match a 6x1 brick or plate on them (5 studs + 2x half a stud
"overshoot" for both ends of the plate/brick extending past the center of
the 1x1 round plates, makes 6 studs long) This need for adding a 1 stud
"overshoot" has a high potential for confusing people.
Here are the first four pythagorean combinations that match:
3 - 4 - 5 for brick/plate length 6
5 - 12 - 13 for brick/plate length 14
8 - 15 - 17 for brick/plate length 18
7 - 24 - 25 for brick/plate length 26
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.
