First I must apologize for the dark pictures. It’s late at night while I write this, and I don’t have a good lighting set up at the moment.

Anyway, after being inspired by THIS POST, I decided to do a study for an article about foliage for Classic-Castle.com. Why do I have a sadistic need to create trees with bricks? You’ll have to read the article when it gets posted to C-C.

Anyway, here are a few quick snaps I took to show off what I did. I don’t think they’re all that spectacular, and I’m sure someone has done this very thing before, so I’m not going to claim they’re new. But I’m proud of what I was able to come up with, so thus I post.

So here you go, maxi-trees in their Autumn overcoats:







So there ya go,

Usually a lot of one with some dapples of another. (...) (21 years ago, 19-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle, FTX)

(...) Wow, it feels pretty cool to be considered an 'inspiration' on these! I like 'em. A lot! Something similar might have to show up on the GMLTC train layout at our next show. *grin* (John rumages through the bricks looking for yellow, brown, (...)

(...) snip (...) Very good looking trees at minifig scale. I certainly wouldn't want to be a minifig standing under them when the "leaves" actually start to fall. THUD. Ouch! Alan ;) (21 years ago, 19-Sep-03, to lugnet.castle)

(...) I've since uploaded better pictures of the forest, as you can now see on the start of this thread. I hope I don't offend anyone for advertising this, but I've also written and posted my foliage article that features my fall foliage forest. (...)
